Starsector 0.97a is out! (02/02/24); New blog post: Simulator Enhancements (03/13/24)
I had this issue, and worked around this by switching to java 8, though I think it's v8 64 bit. (It was whatever i had around from a modded 0.7.2a install).Let me know if you want any further details, just giving you another data point. My system is windows 7, 64 bit OS, 8gb of ram, i5 2500K (and it's only juuuust starting to feel old now.)
Yes.So far no issues but I won't be posting any java looking bugs for that reason.
