*GAME-BREAKING GLITCH* Bow Crash for Mac

[moochers1 0]

Hello. I am a mac user of Wurm online. I use Mac OS X Yosemite, ver 10.10.2. There is a game-breaking glitch, where if I fire a bow, or a bow is fired around me, it instantly causes the game to crash. This is especially annoying during unique monster hunts, where many people are using bows. My Wurm  client is 3.86. Please find a solution, or if there are existing solutions to prevent this, or any other compatibility issues with Mac OS X Yosemite, please inform me. There is an error with the file: <javax.vecmath.Vector3f.setZ(F)V>

There is a fix for the Mac archery crash. Ot appears Macs have an outdated Java3D, here is how to fix it:

Fixed! 

 

conditions:

• Wurm crashes by method setVector~
  
• When someone shoots an arrow or catapult is firing
  

 

If you have similiar problems, use the following fix.

 

I've found the fix that worked in my case. It seems mac comes with none or outdated java3D.

 

I had to download java3D version 1.5.2 and manually put it into java.

 

java3D  - http://download.java..._5_2-macosx.zip

 

Go to

~Library/Internet Plug-ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

 

Right click > Show package contents

 

Go inside to 

Contents/Home/lib/ext

 

Put here the files:

- j3dcore.java

-j3dutils.java

-vecmath.java

 

This is OsX only problem it seems. There is a problem with version of libaries as OP says. More tech info below:

from StackOverflow:

"Check if Apple's out-dated Java 3D version 1.3 is installed in System/Library/Java/Extensions/ on your Mac. Remove all Java 3D 1.3 related files including vecmath.jar (jar, jnilib), they are useless."
