Possible software issue with Java on iMac

Hi, all. I’m trying to run TripleA_1.9.0.0.3266, Java version 1.8.0_111, on a late 2013 iMac running mac OS 10.10.5 Yosemite.

When conducting a naval attack the prompt to ask me if I wish to scramble fighters continuously flashes on and off and doesn’t allow me to click on any response.  In fact I can’t get the prompt to stop flashing unless I shut down AAA altogether.

Has anyone else run into this issue, and, if so, how did you solve it?

I did not have any issues in the old version of Triple A but I can’t seem to get around this issue in the new version.

Thank you.

I should also mention that my girlfriend, as a test, downloaded AAA 1.9 on her brand new Mac Book, which is loaded with the latest versions of everything, and she has the exact same problem.

This makes me think the problem might be a bug in 1.9.

If anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate your feedback.

@P@nther:

No Mac here, so no chance to reproduce it.

Does this happen everytime in any game or only in a special situation in a special game?
Do you have the latest version of the map installed?

Is there an error message shown in a console window?
Please look into the installation directory of triplea. You might find a file named ‘error.log’, there.
Please attach this file here, if present.

Nothing special. It happens anytime and every time there is a scramble.

I downloaded 1.9 from this site:  http://www.triplea-game.org/download/

I even removed and re-loaded it a couple times, so I assume I’m using the latest maps.

No error message in the console window.  It’s just the normal window with the normal scramble options, except that it flashes on and off like a strobe light and it’s become impossible to interface with the game after that. It has to be force quit.

I’ll ask my girlfriend how to find the installation directory. I’ll let you know once I get a hold of her.

Thanks.

@Panther on the tripleadev forum under announcements the one about macs. It was on my sis’s machine that I noticed. I’m usually on linux but just wanted to let StuckTojo know that it wasn’t an isolated occurrence

hadn’t seen the github response but yea that’s what I encountered. I know it was the latest java she was using, 1.8 or w/e it was

Thanks, barney.  That’s good to know.

Stuck Tojo’s girlfriend here: I can’t find any installation directory or error.log file. I looked at the package contents of the Triple A version folder that is giving us the problems and also did a computer-wide search for ‘error.log’ but no luck anywhere, even in the Console messages. We’re not sure where to go from here…
