System Console crash - Quartus II 14.1 and Win 8.1

Greetings,

So I have the same issue. I searched the altera forums and found this thread. Replied to the thread and was advised to submit an SR. The SR submission process requires you to do a forum search and view at least one linked topic before it lets you submit an SR. Guess what is the only topic it found? Yep, this one. Ironic.

So I have filed a formal SR, number 11118975. I linked to this thread in the SR, hopefully whoever works the SR participates in this thread.

In response to flz47655, I got similar info through a different method. I tried launching a NIOS II console and then navigating to the system console binary and launching it from there. I got an immediate crash with a java crash log. Tried to attach java crash log but it was too long for forum.

Here is the console output:
