Only renders white image

[Sarocesch]

hey no matter which website i go to the game only shows me a white image

some time ago everything still worked

I hope that I can get support on 1.12.2 because it would be very important for me

latest.log

[Sarocesch]

I think this could be the reason

[TheSystemGuy1337]

This project appears to be dead and suffers from a common issue: People shipping out code without TESTING it first.

[Sarocesch]

many thanks for the info

do you have any idea how i could still fix the mod

as I need it very much

[GiantLuigi4]

Ok so It looks like what happened is that a web server that mcef depends on (since mcef downloads binaries that are required for its functionality at runtime) went down Meaning the files that were hosted on said web server are no longer able to be downloaded

As for a fix; I know nothing about the 1.12 version, so I’m not really able to offer one Might be able to change something in the configs to fix it, not sure

There might be a way to manually install CEF, but since the servers are dead we can safely say this project is also dead.

Close the issue.

[GiantLuigi4]

The newer versions of the mod rely on a different server, so no, the project is not dead

[TheSystemGuy1337]

But I tried connecting to the new servers to maybe fetch the files directly, but was greeted with a 403 Forbidden.

I'll see if I can patch the 1.12.2 version to point to the new servers. I know absolutely NOTHING about Java, but will attempt to patch it anyway.

[TheSystemGuy1337]

Couldn't figure it out. We have to figure out how to perform a manual installation.

[Sarocesch]

1.12.2 works again but sometimes there are still interruptions

think a certificate was expired or a server was not reachable

thank you for the numerous answers

I did actually dig in the files and found an out of date cert. Since the servers (likely) use HTTPS, If I roll my clock back to 2020 then it might download. But chances are, the server that hosts CEF for this version of the mod is currently dead. If you can, get a new cert or offer manual installation options. Since you fixed it, where can I download the patched version? CurseForge, Modrinth (Modrinth, please use .zip instead of 100% proprietary .MODPACK files) or this GitHub repo? If I have to compile it from source, please offer Windows compiling instuctions.

[Sarocesch]

unfortunately it does not work again it was only functional for a short time

[TheSystemGuy1337]

We should probably just bundle CEF with the mod and skip the middleman entirely.
