Dude, you have a " in the wrong spot.

Your .bat file should be this EXACTLY

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_60\bin\java" -Xms384m -Xmx764m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"

EDIT: Corrected command line.

Try setting the Xmx value to 640. So it would be -Xmx640m. I think the 764 is causing the failure, since it probably can't allocate that size.

Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Last idea and then I'm stumped. Try setting the memory settings to this: "-Xms512m -Xmx640m".

I'll jump in to say I had the same problem when I tried to get this version of Tracker up and running. What worked for me was to Uninstall every java install I had, even went so far as to delete the folders in programfiles and programfiles(x86). Re-downloaded the correct java version (64), and made sure that a new FRESH install of Tracker was pointing to it correctly (with the line command seen in earlier posts).

The very first turn that Tracker loads, yes (only caveat is that my experience is only with 1-day turns). AFAIK Tracker compares the present turn with the previous one to figure out the Alerts.

It's a little counter-intuitive - the icon to download is way over near the right-hand edge it's an arrow pointing down. I think it's blue.

Look here:

Back after a 2 year hiatus due to work, and unfortunately with a new computer+OS, meaning I have to install everything again.

Does anyone knows how to turn off the "smartscreen filter" for windows 10? It is blocking the download for me, claiming that the file is unsafe.......

Thanks in advance.

Clicking on "More Information" (I have a german OS so my translation may be wrong) in the smartscreen filter window will allow to download the file.

Got it going, thanks. For my version, it was "view download" [right click] "run anyway". But I have to turn off the windows defender to allow download since windows 10 feels that there is a virus in it. My take is, virus or not, I have to download it, lol.

Good to have it going!

I hope you have a backup of the trackerdb files...

This has happened to me before on crashes and the files are corrupted.
Delete the trackerdb.* files.
Copy the pwsdll.dll file from the game folder to the WitPTracker folder.
Try running the WitPTracker.bat again.

Afraid of that - no backup....maybe I'll learn from this.

Guess the fix is to start new?
