Yes

Alright, so I kinda just wanted to lurk on these forums, but I suppose I need to post now. I have had the "bot initialization error" message for a while now, despite doing everything I can think of to fix. Upgrade java, downgrade java, downgrade client, upgrade client, reinstall everything, update computer, etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Never used a proxy

Fixerino, re-install Java is the way.

I tried turning it off, no luck. Turning it on, no luck either.

did not fix for me I use that notepad thing and launches fine for me but hotfix did nothing.

never mind fixed i had java 10 and 8

I still get the error
I can open osbot with the .bat file and i have the 1,8,0_171 version of java, have tried with unistalling it and installing java 2 times, i have used jarfixer alot and still nothing, still get the error message. any idea?

You may have Java 8 installed, but the JRE is being started in some other version. From command line (Windows or Unix):
 

java -version:1.8 -jar "osbot 2.5.8.jar"

This will ensure the jvm starts in version 1.8 [Java 8]
 

Thx. I had version 8 and 10 I uninstalled version 10 and osbot started working

awesome fix

There's an issue with the most recent java version, uninstall it and install a previous one from here https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase8-archive-downloads.html
