Running the game locally not working

[Squalm]

EDIT: I'm using the latest version of the JDK.
EDIT: I see that this is likely a GSON error to do with the way it reads the JSON file. I've never used GSON before so I don't really know where to start looking. Again, any and all help appreciated.

I'm writing my algorithm in python on windows.
p1-20-10-2020-13-23-49-1603196629720-2003786728.txt
Above is the replay file of the game (converted from .replay to .txt).

I hope above and below is enough detail for you to help. If any additional detail is required please do say.

I'm running my algos from run_match.py here is a normal console out until we start just getting errors the error (I haven't yet been able to make it run correctly):

Here's the first error. The rest are in a similar style. I'm not familiar with java so I don't really know how to fix this, any and all help appreciated:

I'm also using a modified game-configs.json (modified to do what I hope is make it compatible with season 7 (rather than season 3 which it came with)) file. I thought changing it might fix the issue, but the error was the same before and after the changes (if any of the changes I've made here are going to cause problems please do say.):

@Squalm, hello! Did you solve the issue?

[Squalm]

@lavawolfiee yup I managed to figure out the problem and created this new issue where I outline the actual problem.
