Bug with 12/14 client install (manual solution included)

[ReekRend]

I just did the client update around 11pm EDT 2021-12-14. (Windows 7 x64)

PokeMMO.exe won't run anymore, says it needs JRE (Java) 11, opens up some random Java webpage instead.

 

I was curious and looked in the PokeMMO folder.

"jre" has only bin/ and lib/, both touched 12-14, but all the contents of those folders are still from June 2021.

There is a "newjre" folder from 12-14 with more folders and files, and all contents are from 12-14.

 

I renamed "jre" to "jre.orig" and made a copy of "newjre" as "jre" (why not eh?).

Now PokeMMO.exe runs as normal again.

(Can't test login, server still down for maintenance.)

 

I'm posting because I didn't see anything about this yet in the forums.

Hello! This problem shouldn't happen, it was likely an issue during the update.

 

Instead of doing this you can download a new installer on https://pokemmo.eu/downloads/windows/ and execute it, this should be enough to fix this problem with Java 11.

 

If anyone has the same issue and this solution doesn't work, please contact us on support.pokemmo.eu using your game account. Thanks! ^^
