WitP Staff will not load a game turn

[Nomad]

I can get a good initialization but when I try to load my first game turn I get an error:

The top of the error report is this:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:

Any ideas?

Did you apply the hotfix from the pinned thread in this forum?

[Nomad]

I did, the only thing I found in the hot fix was a dll file. Is that right? I replaced the one in the main folder with the one you posted.

[Erik Rutins]

In the main folder or in the \tools\witpstaff folder as per the instructions?

[Nomad]

Oops, sorry, it works fine now. [:'(][8|]

[Erik Rutins]

Ok, I'm not sure if it will cause any issues for you putting that DLL in the main folder. If you're planning to start any PBEMs you may want to uninstall/reinstall and only overwrite the one in the \tools\witpstaff sub-folder.

Just did that, I am so embarrassed. [:@]

Witpstaff searches the current directory for the DLL. Which is \tools\witpstaff when running witpstaff.

It doesn't hurt to copy the DLL to both the main directory and the Witpstaff one.
