Game launch status: 'JAVA_HOME environment variable is required to run HDOS' #11

Closed aestheticjmack closed 6 months ago

aestheticjmack commented 6 months ago

I've been using bolt just fine for months, installed from the AUR, but now I'm getting the following errors when trying to launch HDOS. I did a complete reinstall and it's still giving me the error.

Game launch status: 'JAVA_HOME environment variable is required to run HDOS'

Latest JAR is already installed

Hi, as the error says, the JAVA_HOME variable needs to be set in your environment to launch HDOS. This would normally happen by automatically adding it to /etc/profile when you install Java, but you can set it yourself just fine. I think it's usually something like JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-xxxxxxxx (find out what directory names exist there - it will depend on what Java versions you have installed)

Should this really be necessary? I'm using your AUR package and encountered this error since Arch does not set JAVA_HOME at all. For example:

user@pc ~$ sudo archlinux-java set java-21-openjdk
user@pc ~ $ echo $JAVA_HOME

Arch only uses PATH as far as I'm aware.
