Bug 145

This bug affects Windows 8, Windows 7 (both Java 6 since 7 doesn't work) and my Mac (java 7)

Until it's fixed I can't play Salem

Are you absolutely sure it's the same bug? Do you get the same error message ("Wrong res version (5 != 6)") on the same resource (gfx/borka/admiral-kjol)?

If so, you are very welcome to follow the instructions in the bug report, so that I might be able to fix it. :)

Yes it is definitely the same for the two windows machines, I'll have to double check the mac later in the day.

I've sent the capture in a pm from the Win7 machine.

Protip: Enderclient.

Protip: Enderclient.

I'm sure it is the endclient. However, the bug impacts all of my systems and I've tried Java 6 and 7

Enderclient != endclient.

Thank you for the reply, however.. no change with the custom client.

Tried adding my system to the dmz, no change there either.

Okay I found a workaround for bug 145.

The file causing the crash isn't downloading basically, so grab it from someone who doesn't have the bug and put it into the folder:

Should be under c:\users\yourusername\.salem

**edit**

You may need to have enders client installed for this to work because sometimes the .salem folder doesn't appear in that directory.

Get someone who has a working salem game to zip that .salem folder, email it to you and then copy it over the other one.


Now in game!

I had a look at the packet dump you PM'd me, krellian, and I do find it a bit perplexing. Your client does not even seem to attempt to download the resource, for some reason. I can't really think of any reason why it wouldn't do that, however. Are you perhaps using some strange proxy settings? (Check the Java control panel.)

[krellian]

Hi Loftar,

No special java settings, this problem impacts a Win7, Win8 and Mac machine with a fresh install of Java 6 and 7 on any of them.

Maybe I should set a proxy up to see if I get a different result? Will try this if I run into the issue again.
