1. Is it on version 1.17+?

Yes: Continue to 2.

No: Continue to 3.

2. Have you tried using the latest version of java as outlined at the bottom of this readme?

Yes. The issue is still present: Continue to 3

No: Do that

3. Can you reproduce the issue using the upstream appimage version?

Download the appimage from here: https://gdevs.io/#downloadContainer. Make it executable with chmod +x xxx.appimage. Run ./xxx.appimage

Yes, entirely: Consider reporting upstream.

Yes, only partly: Report a good issue here with OS/hardware info, logs, crashdata, and anything else you consider important.

No: Report a good issue here with OS/hardware info, logs, crashdata, and anything else you consider important.

The easiest way will be to have flatpak-builder installed and running:

flatpak-builder build-dir/ io.gdevs.GDLauncher.yml --force-clean --install --user

GDLauncher is sometimes behind in their java builds. To use the upstream flatpak Java:

Simply right click on the instance you wish to use flatpak Java for > Click "Manage" > Enable "Custom Java Path" > And map the path to /app/jre/bin/java

Then you should be good to go!
