VASSAL 3.7.15 Released

The Vassal Team is happy to announce the release of Vassal 3.7.15.

IMPORTANT

  • If you are using MacOS 14, please ensure you are using 14.4 or later, to avoid a bug in MacOS which prevents Vassal from starting.
  • Modules saved in 3.7 are not openable by earlier versions of Vassal. We recommend keeping a backup copy of any pre-3.7 modules you plan to modify in 3.7 until you’ve verified that everything works to your satisfaction.
  • Things may be broken which worked previously. If you find a new bug, please report it.

Minimum Requirements

VASSAL 3.7 requires Java 11 or later.

The Windows and MacOS packages have an appropriate version of Java bundled with them, so there is no need to install Java separately on those operating systems. On Linux, use your package manager to install Java 11 or later.

The VASSAL Team
