I think something has been updated. My ongoing tracker will not work anymore. I am getting a Java runtime error.

This is the error header:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d0b70d0, pid=2540, tid=2260
#
# JRE version: 6.0_26-b03
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (20.1-b02 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C [awt.dll+0xb70d0]

I also tried saving the tracker files to a directory and restarting my tracker with no success, fatal error.

It appears that it is only one game that has this problem, my second game does not. It is the turn where my opponent landed in New Zealand and activated the reinforcements. I can not use any save game file generated after that. Here is a screen shot of the errors I am getting.

Further information on the above. After the New Zealand invasion convoy disbands from Cape Town, tracker will work. There must be something in the unit being the last unit in the data base. When I loaded the new turn I still got all of the insert errors listed above, but the turn did load. When I started a new database, I had no errors reported.

Send me the witptracker.properties file, the before save turn and after turn to witptracker @ gmail.com and I'll take a look.

I have some problems to get the tracker runnig. After setting the property file and starting the tracker I get this message and I have no idea what it is telling me or what I have done wrong....

I'd check that you've installed the program properly ... this message is telling me that you've not installed the C++ redistributables. There was also another update back in June iirc.

What version of AE are you running ? If it is the beta you'll need to copy the new pwsdll.dll into the tracker folder too ...

Version 1106i is running, no beta patches. I´ve installed the latest updates for C++ (x86 and x64). Do I have to install all C++ Versions or is the latest enough? I´m using Win7 Home Premium 64bit.

Abe -
The latest should be enough ... you didn't need to install the x64bit updates (and might want to uninstall them). The C++ redist can be fickle - uninstalling and reinstalling the 95/98 C++ has worked in the past.

Check you have pwsdll.dll in the tracker folder as well.

Make sure you're using Java 32 bit and not the latest one (7) which is buggy still. By changing your witptracker.bat file to point to the 32 bit Java executable (you need the quotes because of the space) - this varies on different machines so you'll need to check the path:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause

If all fails there is another solution ... try this first though
Cheers

YOU ARE THE HERO OF THE DAY!! [&o][:D]

It´s running!

Thanks a lot for your help. [:)]

Just installed Windows 7 64 and would like to know if anyone has experienced problems running the Tracker under W7 64.

Just installed Windows 7 64 and would like to know if anyone has experienced problems running the Tracker under W7 64.

Plenty of people have problems getting it right -> user error by misconfiguration are the primary reasons. Tracker does work with W7x64.

My advice:-
[*]Use 32 bit Java
[*]Use 32 bit C++ Redist (and updates)
[*]Configure the batch file as per above
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xms384m -Xmx512m -jar "WitPTracker.jar"
pause
[*]Use the 32 bit command prompt if the batch won't run see

Files located and sent.

I'd like to chime in here to say "thanks" to the devs. This is a really neat app.

I had some "Null Pointer" and "Array Index OOB" errors thrown by Java when trying to use the Tracker and the latest Beta patch (P6, IIRC). However, as suggested in this thread, swapping out the pwsdll library in the Tracker folder for one copied from the "Beta2" folder fixed the issue.

A small suggestion: Perhaps put this temporary fix in the first post of this thread? I reckon lots of people using the beta could have a had this issue too.

I have a different issue.

Execption in thread 'Main' java.long.NullPointerExecption
at witptracker.engines.getEngines<engines.java.75>
at witptracker.InMemoryDBLoadStartuptables<InMemoryDB.java.154>
at witptracker.mainmain<Main.java.157>

Any ideas? This is with 1108p7 beta

This is a great tool! Do you guys have a published list of new features you are working on? Should we post in this thread to request new features?

I think I can talk for both of us when I say that not much has been done toward the 1.9 release yet apart from some bug fixes. I implemented some changes for econ mods, did a little bit on the aircraft comparison screen to show device ratings.

Anyway now is a good time to make some suggestions as I'm going to do some coding in the coming weeks so Post away ...

Swap out the pwsdll library in the Tracker folder for one copied from the "Beta2" folder should fix the issue. Although you may have to delete the DB and restart afresh.

Thanks Nick ... we (cough cough floyd) should really update the website.

That did the trick. Is that something we need to do whenever a new beta is released?

It shouldn't be always required unless something changes that affects the DLL, but to be safe, copying it to tracker wont hurt.

I am sure this has been asked a lot of times but 90 pages is a looooong thread. Is Tracker 1.8 compatible with DBB?
