Im with you Tarzan -- Been playing Salem up until last week - Win10 - Fully patched Java --
New Java patch came out and now it wont connect to the client -- Latest seems to be tied to an Fatal Error exception being created in Java at launch and shutting the client down
Here's a clip of the error log -- When the Salem client is launched
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x00000000, pid=3936, tid=0x0000234c

# JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_221-b11) (build 1.8.0_221-b11)
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (25.221-b11 mixed mode windows-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C 0x00000000
#
# Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of Windows

# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
