Starsector crashes, possibly due to LWJGL or Java? #3397
Description
(I apologize in advance due to this most likely not being a proper bug report and missing some files and context)
- Only "works" on box64 v0.3.5 35fa138, with the newest version v0.4.1 9f50192 crashing on the launcher or right after opening the game
- Have reinstalled both box and starsector twice each just in case.
Issue:
Starsector crashes when either loaded completely on the title screen after a few seconds, or when immediately trying to start new game
Steps to recreate and context:
The official Linux port of the game does not seem to work, with it getting to about 35 percent at most before crashing without an error message, so all of this was on the windows version running on wine + box64 (Both versions have the same result on the Linux version)
Steps:
Open terminal in where the executable is, and enter "wine starsector.exe" to run the game.
Game launcher opens(with it rarely crashing at this point)
Game loads over the course of a minute or two
Some title screen buttons work - options and codex (in-game wiki) and the combat tutorial) while the start new game and continue buttons crashing.
Press start, game crashes with the game outputting a "Fatal: null) error at times or saying a java plugin like com.fs.starfarer.main.XXXXXX was not found with both types being a crash to desktop.
What box64 put in the terminal after launching the game: (sometimes it does nothing after the last line when trying to launch the game)
(Ran command "wine starsector.exe")

Other important stuff
- If needed to try out game to test this, there is a CD key on a video about this game by SSethtzeench near the end with a code to try it out (don't worry, is not piracy because it has been approved by the developer of the game as it lets people try it out and apparently boosted sales a ton)
- This is on the Nintendo Switch 1 with a Tegra X1 gpu/cpu
- I tried Factorio's latest version to see if something was wrong with box64 itself, but it ran without any bugs and everything was working fine from my test. (yet another reason for me blaming LWJGL)
- The part of starsector's log where it crashed (which is another reason why I think this is something related to LWJGL and/or the java version used by the game: (Java 17)
