The default Windows download is a jar file accompanied by a bat file, jar files are not by default executable if you don't have java enabled. and if you don't have java enabled the .bat is the only one that is launchable, but the .bat file still needs java installed... so it fails. hence the people complaining about the game not launching where others see no issue.

been trying to get the game to work through the .jar, and even though I have java installed, neither the .jar nor the .bat worked. The .bat did return some funny text immediately before it closes itself.
sorry it looks so jank, this took a few attempts to get the photo.
This is probably due to some java version issue. Just wanted to put this out for the people who are getting shit on just because the .bat doesn't work. Just because you have java, doesn't mean that it will work. I have seen some people recommend reverting to a previous version of java, so I'd recommend trying that, otherwise, guess the only option is to wait until the next version comes out August 12th yeah fucking right LOL eventually.

This should probably be in the OP, but the game as it's currently built absolutely requires Java 8. That error occurs when the game tries to run with a later version, as Oracle stopped bundling JavaFX as of Java 10.
If you have multiple Java versions installed, you need to modify the batch file to explicitly start the game with Java 8.
For some reason it can't grey anything out. So unselected perks, fetishes, some items, unexplored tiles etc are just displaying as solid black. I have the newest java 8 so i don't know if it's a problem on that end

How do you modify the .bat file to open with a specific program? When I right-click the .exe I get a list of options, one of which allows me to change the application that is used to open it. I cannot do the same with the .bat. I know how to alter the file format to .txt in order to change stuff, I just want to know what do I have to write or add specifically because I know jack about coding.
Also, launching the .jar file normally gives me nothing (instant crash) and opening it with javaw.exe from 1.8.0_172 (version recommended to run LT) gives me an error "Unable to launch the application." Opening the .bat opens the CMD Prompt for a split second before it closes and nothing happens.
Changed to:
java "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_321\bin\javaw.exe" -jar LilithsThrone_0_4_4.jar
((No idea if this right or not. Like I said, I don't know diddly squat about coding.))
Opening the .bat file still does nothing. Opening the .exe gives me a warning about Java being out of date and gives me 3 options; update, block, ignore (this is new). I chose ignore and it kicked back to the error mentioned above.
I haven't checked in a while but unless Inno merged something silly in the meantime or you find some modder who didn't give a heck in their own works, probably still bunnies and snake since we all just sorta agreed that even 8 at baseline is a bit whack once you stack all the perks and pills and thus should not be exceeded.

Note I said baseline. Ferrets have up to 5 kids naturally, so 80 after stacking all the litter modifiers. The races I mentioned can go to 128 in that case.

Odd. There should be an "Open With" entry in the list regardless of what you right-click on. If I remember correctly, Notepad is in that list by default.
Are you running Windows 11? I know that changed a bunch of UI stuff. I don't currently have anything running it, but if I remember correctly you'll probably have to click "show more options" (or something like that—it should be at the bottom of the menu) in order to show the entire context menu and see some of the classic options.

Notepad isn't the issue. I can change the .txt file to open with whatever application I want but the moment I change the format to .bat the option "Open With" disappears from the list. I even tried to set the text file to open with Java, before changing the format to .bat. I'm on Win10. For the record, I did some googling on the error and I definitely have enough space on the drive where it's on and the folder is on the desktop. I'm also the only user on this PC and have Admin privileges... not sure if that helps any.
Also, changing the line of code did nothing. The .bat still doesn't work and opening via the .exe just gives the same error.
