Posted March 26, 2016 I had some issues with my pc last night, think this might have been caused by a problem with graphics card update, not sure about that though. I had to restore PC to an earlier time to get anything to work When I try to start WU I see "WU - running" briefly in left-hand of Steam screen, and the WU icon appears for split second on my task bar. Then......nothing, doesn't start, no error message. Updated Java but that made no difference. Not sure what else to do. Maybe something is missing due to the restore, but, having updated Java and Steam I am not sure what else to do or why this is happening. Haven't played for a while as had similar thing happen before, just got back into it, and now this.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2016 just found logs in WU folder (I was trying to start it from within there rather than Steam) and see this.... # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x000007fefd800844, pid=12072, tid=14036 # # JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_60-b27) (build 1.8.0_60-b27) # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (25.60-b23 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops) # Problematic frame: # C 0x000007fefd800844 # # Failed to write core dump.

I just did that I thought tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2016 you are using .60-b27 version of java 8, there is a .77 out which also has a important security flaw fix. so install the latest. http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and make steam verify the game directory Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2016 well that's very odd, i see what you mean now i look again. But I have installed the correct java version and it shows as java 8 77 on my install\uninstall programmes list. sooo it seems somehow Steam is not using the current java files? I've also been in touch with Steam and flushed their files as they instructed me. So...i am a bit stumped. I will try once more uninstalling and reinstalling java. then i have no idea....
