MAC Version won't launch (1.2.2)

[Polyrythmmm]

As per the 1.2.2 won't launch topic - seems like it's only MAC users who can no longer play

[statix]

I'm a mac user and 1.2.2 runs fine.

[Polyrythmmm]

Fair enough.. Mine still wont launch the client.. I've performed all OS updates.. so I'm at a loss as to the reason

The "1.2.2 won't launch" thread, can be found here:

http://www.planetmule.com/forum?topic=610.0

Still no advice or resolution given. 

I haven't been able to find any crash logs or other information which may assist troubleshooting... 1.2.2 just simply won't launch, while 1.2.0 and 1.2.1 ran fine over here.

Ditto... MULE won't bring up the game after updating to 1.2.2. I downloaded 1.2.2 fresh and still no game. MULE just quits. I tried updating from 1.0. Each time it is launched, the app updates itself. Then, it just quits, doing nothing... launch again... nothing. I rebooted several times and still no game.

10.5.8 with all updates

Java versions available on my computer:
J2SE 5.0 (32-bit)
Java SE 6 (64-bit)
J2SE 5.0 (64-bit)
J2SE 1.4.2 (32-bit, not enabled)

I wish it would work.   

[WhosYourBuddy?]

Well I hope 1.2.3 is coming soon!

I wish it would work.   

For the moment my wish is that they would just roll back to 1.2.1, but yeah, 1.2.3 would be nice too. 

Seriously, the whole issue is wonky... they put out 1.2.2 before the weekend, don't even give it a proper roll-out post on the main page for it, only saying deep in the forum that it has "bug fixes", and end up making the game unplayable for (most) of everyone on an entire OS.

If there is one thing I've learned at work, it is to never roll out any software changes on a Friday.  Doesn't matter how well tested the changes are, reality will conspire to ensure that they will never work.

Okay, running the JavaApplicationStub directly let me get a terminal window that did show the exception.

1.2.2 gives the following:

Sounds like a version number incompatibility:  1.2.2 was probably compiled under a newer version of the Java Developer Kit then we Mac users have with our Java Runtime Environment.

I've confirmed that my system is completely up to day, System Update-wise.  There is no newer Java runtime available for Mac OS-X.  (Edit:  Not completely correct.  See next post)

[Paladinian]

For reference, my present Mac JRE version is:

1.5.0_19

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11

I see there is a Java 1.6 update, but only for Mac OS 10.5.

Will keep investigating, but it appears unless we upgrade to Snow Leopard, Java 1.5 is best the rest of us can do.

[WhosYourBuddy?]

Actually I'm running 10.6.2 on my MacBook, and it's still no go for MULE.
