drop down menu freezes client

[haruko 7]

My client freezes when I click any drop down menu option in the settings or on the server, however the dedicated server dose not do this. My laptop dose not do this at all on the client software. The only way I can change preferences is by old fashioned keyboard shortcuts.

is it a touchscreen?

Ok this was the issue because splashtop adds a touchscreen input virtual device.

I was having the same issue and googled it, finding the solution in this conversation:

As described by "Cold":

 

fixed by adding a line in 3 files.

All the files have the same name: LaunchConfig.ini
Two of them in the client installation and one of them in the dedicated server installation.

The line is:

JvmParam2=-Dglass.accessible.force=false

I placed it below JvmParam1............................

 

I recommend using a text editor like Notepad++ that will make sure the code stays clean and without any added weird characters that some other text editors tend to add.

 

This solved the issue for me, as it did for others responding to that thread. I hope the devs fix it "for reals" at some point though! Not everyone is tech savvy enough to go poking around in the code.
