DreamBot won't start

[peanutbutterp 1]

Hello,

I have an issue with DreamBot, it simply wont start, yet I see the javaw.exe process running after I hit the DBLauncher.

 

• Tried a different launcher
• Tried a reboot
• Tried removing the %username%\DreamBot directory
• Tried disabling AV

 

Using the latest JRE version, running on Windows 10 64-bit Pro.

What happened before is that I tried setting up a project in IntelliJ IDEA with success, but couldn't run the client ever again. Client ran the first time tho. 

Any suggestions? 

 

Running the client with a command line is giving me this error:

Are you using Java 9? You need Java 8.

Are you using Java 9? You need Java 8.

Yeah, using 9, trying to uninstall Java 9 right now. 

By any chance do you know if I can develop scripts using JDK 9 as well, or I need to downgrade too?

Yeah works once downgraded. Thanks!
