Saving game or creating log closes Vassal

Nothing looks out of the ordinary in your log.

Just to make sure it is clear what is happening

  1. You start Vassal
  2. You then double click the Grant Takes Command II version 3.12.0 module in the module manager
  3. The module starts up as per normal
  4. You then either
    • select FileBegin Logfile … , or
    • click Yes in the dialog New Session Beginning. Start new Logfile?

The question is then what happens next

  1. Either
    • Vassal crashes immediately, or
    • Vassal pops up a file save dialog, and you put in a file name, and then press OK, after which Vassal crashes, or
    • some other sequence of events.

Please explain exactly what happens.

In all cases, it seems like no error is shown to you, and Vassal simply terminates (both the Module Manager and player, or just the player?), which in it self is a bit surprising.

From your log it seems like you had the turn3_union_activation_next.vsav in a cloud storage ( C:\\Users\\DSuls\\OneDrive\\Desktop\\Vassal Games\\turn3_union_activation_next.vsav). Do you also try to make the .vlog on OneDrive? If so, what happens if you try to make the log file on local disk?

To diagnose the problem it may be needed to run Vassal in a debugger (see How to debug Vassal). In your case, you’d need to run something like

$ jdb -sourcepath C:\Users\DSuls\Documents\Vassal\src\vassal-app\src\main\java -cp C:\Program Files\VASSAL\lib\Vengine.jar VASSAL.launch.Player --load C:\Users\DSuls\Downloads\GTC2_3_12.vmod

where C:\Users\DSuls\Documents\Vassal\src contains the source of Vassal (see above post).

Yours,
