In order to help you, we need to know what the bug was. Describe what
happened. Were there error messages? If so, what were they? Paste them
here.

I start Vassal, and then i click in the file menu. I choose open module. The module of 7 Ages is on my desktop. I click on it. Then this appears:
"uncaught exception
Eeek! A bug!
VASSAL had an internal error

There’s more in that dialog than this. There should be a stack trace,
showing where in the code VASSAL crashed. That’s what we need.

I found it, but i couldn’t copy paste the text. So, i made pictures of them. Hope you can read it, otherwise i could copy the text with my keyboard.
It seems the images won’t show here. So i just show the weblinks to Imgur.

Have you tried right-clicking on that text area in order to get the
context menu for copying the text? Those images are very hard to read.

Right-clicking doesn’t seem to work when i am in the “uncaught exception” box. But it does work outside the box.
I copied the text with my keyboard. There could be a mistake, but i checked it:

Does anybody know something about this bug?
You have a corrupted prefs file for the module. Delete that and it should load.
Thanks, i will try that.
It appears we will play another game and quit the present. The module of another game does work, so it was the module that was the problem. Thanks for helping me.
