Hi players,
Be aware that if you update your java to latest (released in April) it will break the Counselor and you will not be able to open any turns.
Version 8 Update 291
The options are:
a) do not upgrade
b) rollback to an older java version if you see this problem
c) wait until the Counselor can be updated without being able to submit turns.
I'll work on a fix in late July.
I have two confirmed cases now. Spread the word.
