Cannot Post To Forum with TripleA

[Cyph3r]

Hi all, I have tried to setup my first game but keep getting a long error “sun.security.validator…unable to find valid certification path to requested target” which I believe is associated with Java? I’ve updated to latest version of java, have the latest version of TripleA 64bit and looked for help on the forums to no avail.

I also tried play by email but get “Unable to send by email”, console says it cannot authenticate my gmail. So I turned off 2-step authentication, turned on “allow less secure apps”, neither made any difference.

Any help is appreciated!

Here is the console text when I try to test the email:

Hi Deignanator

Panther will see this sooner or later. You can PM him also. You registered your email with the marti dice server I assume ? Only thing I can think of but really don’t know

[Cyph3r]

Yes I did thanks.

Got email working. I went back to “allow less secure apps” and it was off again for some reason, turned it back on and now it works, but still get the sun.security… error when trying to post to forum.

[Panther]

@Deiganator:

… still get the sun.security… error when trying to post to forum.

This sometimes can happen in case the old Java version has not been completely removed before updating to the new one.

Please see
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml

and then this
https://www.java.com/en/download/help/download_options.xml

So I recommend to follow the hints to uninstall every Java-version you might have (incuding the new one) first.
Then please download the offline installer matching your OS (for example Windows 64 bit) and execute it for a clean install of the latest Java.

This should solve your problem. Please ask back in case you run into further problems.

Good luck!

[Cyph3r]

Hi P@nther, thanks for the reply. I already updated to the latest Java version and removed all old versions. But I removed it again and followed the instructions in your links again with the same results. Still getting the same error. Only other thing is the computer I am getting this error on is 32 bit not 64 as stated.

[Panther]

@Deiganator:

Only other thing is the computer I am getting this error on is 32 bit not 64 as stated.

So you need to install the 32-bit version of TripleA:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/download/1.9.0.0.7621/TripleA_1.9.0.0.7621_windows-32bit.exe

Please copy-paste the error message or post a screenshot of it in case it occurs again.
Thank you :-)

[Cyph3r]

I’ve got the 32 bit version installed. Sorry I originally stated 64, I meant 32.

[Panther]

Which Windows 32bit are you running?

[Cyph3r]

Windows 7

[Panther]

OK, can you please confirm again that there is nothing else Java-related on your PC than the latest Java 8 Update 151?

I am asking that again, because this issue has been resolved in the past by removing outdated Java versions.

Please take a look here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/2554

[Cyph3r]

I’m not sure. Maybe something uses Java? I’ve attached a list of my installed programs.

[Panther]

That looks good.

Now troubleshooting will become a bit tricky.

Please do as follows:

• Start TripleA
• Start a Local Game
• When the games has started find the Menu Debug and then click Show Console
• When the Console has opened, click the button Properties
• Then click Copy to Clipboard
• Paste in this thread.

Thank you :-)

Okay, thanks.

Additionally to your latest Java that you have installed manually from www.java.com, there is another version of Java installed here:

c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_144

TripleA is using this version instead of the latest one that you should have installed manually (151).

I suspect an interference that causes your issue.

Now use the explorer to navigate to

c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\

and delete the folder “1.8.0_144”.

After that restart TripleA and try again. TripleA should then use the system-wide (newer) JRE.
Please report back.

[Cyph3r]

Awesome! Thank you so much! Works now!

Not sure why the Java tool to remove old versions didn’t work?

[Panther]

@Deiganator:

Great!

It is not the fault of the Java removal-tool.

The reason for this issue is another one:
In case you install Triple A for the first time and don’t have any Java on your system, the TripleA installer will download a so called bundled Java version and install this to the place I told you. TripleA will always use this bundled version regardless of any newer versions that you have installed manually. So in case things change for Java (for example security certificates), the Java version used by TripleA will not be updated.

The Java.com instructions/tools can’t know about this individual installation.

This is why I always recommend to first install/update Java from www.java.com and afterwards TripleA.

Now enjoy gaming :-)

[Cyph3r]

Sorry to bug you again but I am getting another error and unable to post to forum again. I was able to in this particular game but on my Russia Turn 2 it started erroring again and will not go away.

That is the same error as before …

Please do this again:

• Start TripleA
• Start a Local Game
• When the games has started find the Menu Debug and then click Show Console
• When the Console has opened, click the button Properties
• Then click Copy to Clipboard
• Paste in this thread.

Thank you :-)
