Java: 1.8.0_77-b03
Module: SWED3-2 (the Star Wars Epic Duels module)
I was learning how to add extensions, so I clicked add extension and added a single game piece to the SWED Module just to test it out. I clicked the save button and it saved instantly with no problems. I Loaded up the module and there was my game piece. I decided to add some more things just to learn, so I added a second new extension. I made one game piece in this new extension also, but this time when I clicked save, the extensions editor just froze. I assumed maybe it would take a minute to save this time, so I waited. After I let it go for about 30 minutes, I had to kill the task. When I loaded the module back up, the save didn’t work. So I figured it was a random bug and tried again. It seems now, no matter what I just can’t save extensions any more. It will freeze as soon as I click the button and I have to kill the task every time.
I can’t think of a single thing I did differently between my first success and the freezing problem. Any help would be awesome. Has anyone else had this problem also?

Post an errorLog. If you haven’t restarted VASSAL, the errorLog will
still be there from the previous run.

Looks like the problem is “Could not get charToByteConverterClass”, but I have no idea what that means.
I suspect that your problem is related to saving your modules under C:\Users\Sky\AppData\Roaming. That’s a location for program settings, not for storing user data. Try saving your module somewhere else in your user directory.
