Seemed to occur after the W10 update, was working about a week ago :(

I am not able to replicate this issue yet, tried with multiple JDKs and launching via .EXE and via command-line.

i tried with multiple jdks and both exe/command line, still got crashes. i just noticed lawena.0.0.log, which abruptly stops:

Yeah the crash happens when it's ready to display main window. It's a Swing (GUI Toolkit) related crash. For instance the following lines are missing from your logs:

[18:56:45] *** Restore and cleanup completed
[18:56:45] Init complete - Ready to display GUI
[18:56:45] Preparing to display main user interface

I've added something to the preview branch that I would like you to test. Normally you could do these by switching to preview branch but since you can't launch the program, follow these steps instead:

  1. Download this version: lawena-preview-4.1.16-2-g0a93ac8.zip
  2. Don't run yet and instead go to "lawena" folder and create a file called settings.lwf. Make sure it's not ending in .txt
    settings.lwf
  3. Open in text editor and add this line to it.
SetSystemLookAndFeel=false
  1. Save and Launch Lawena

It will not try to use "native" Windows look, it's worth a try I guess.

Nice, it launches fine now (with the ugly swing looks). still crashes if i delete settings.lwf

(mb, didn't mean to close it)

Thanks for letting me know, it seems to be a Java/Swing issue then.

Just to have more info about trying to reproduce the problem, is your display high DPI or something out of the ordinary?

adamgemmell commented

it's 144Hz, but other than that it's just 1080p. havent done any ricing or other modifications to the window manager either if that matters. i can ask some others if they have issues. interestingly intellij launches fine, which i believe is a swing application. i'll use the workaround for now and hope some update somewhere fixes it, cheers for the help
