(bug) Minion not opening with update

Golwendae · 07/14/14, 04:17 PM

on a mac pro, 10.8.5. When I hit the icon, the 'expanding icon' animation happens and Minion shows up on the top tool bar and on the bottom action bar-- but then within a second or two it disappears. The program does not open. When this happened after I accepted the update from within the old version, I deleted and re-downloaded from the website, same thing happening. Looking forward to the bug correct-- it's a great program, thanks! I am only using it for ESO, but I still have my old WoW install.

Interesting, I don't think we've tested the recent changes on 10.8, I and our java programmer use 10.9 and its working well.

From the sounds of it Minion is trying to use the windows systray stuff in OSX 10.8 when it shouldnt be using it at all. You're saying you see the Minion icon for a short period of time in the top finder bar next to the time?

I'll have to scrounge up a 10.8 system some where.

From a terminal window could you try this command?

java -jar /Applications/Minion.app/Contents/Java/Minion-jfx.jar

Let me know if Minion loads? If it doesnt load can you copy and paste the output in your terminal window?

Thanks

I entered java -jar /Applications/Minion.app/Contents/Java/Minion-jfx.jar in a terminal window, and was given a JavaFX Launcher notice that "This application requires a newer version of the Java runtime." Went through the update process, same result in the terminal window-- then deleted files, applets etc through the Java control panel, installed again (ran website check to see if the newest version 'took'), made sure Java is enabled in browser (not that that should make a difference here)-- same results from terminal window. Sorry to be a bother!

I created an account today because I am having the exact same problem as the poster.

I am on an iMac OS 10.9.4 using Minion for ESO only.

When my Minion client updated a few days ago it suddenly stopped working. It loads in the tray for a few seconds and then disappears.

I deleted all the hidden Minion files and folder and removed the application. Re-install. No go.

I updated Java the way it was described and still Minion sits in my tray for a few seconds and then shuts down.

My computer has been re-started multiple times since the install and the folders, and files, hidden ones too removed. Still no go.

Any other possible solutions other than what I have tried?

None?

I guess the only option is to delete Minion and manually install addons.

I searched for older versions, specifically the one that worked on my mac but to no avail.
