About the only thing in that that's indicative of anything to me is the prefs issue

Normally from the times I have been around JA

It's a java thing

[fresh cloak]

I tried reinstalling it, but it doesn't do anything

just tried adding a 'prefs' key in the registry but that doesn't help either

[compact crown]

Well that's the extent of my help

[ocean tartan]

Kulche fixed it by asking JA, problem solved. (After like a month of vomplaining to lobby)

[fresh cloak]

[ocean tartan]

You dmed him on steam a few days ago

And you've brought it up in police station like 3-5 times

And in other channels

And im pretty sure you've had the issue since the start of the year or something

[fresh cloak]

10 days

[ocean tartan]

Close enough

I swear you've bene complaining about it for longer than 10 days. Sure felt like forever.
Glad its now fixed (so you can fix my plugins)
