Dice error with the dice server.

[Sovietishcat]

Hi All,

This is the issue I am having; but in other games, every works well very confusing…

British roll dice for 1 cruiser, 1 fighter and 1 transport in 96 Sea Zone, round 2
Contacting dice.tripleawarclub.org
An error has occured!
Possible reasons the error could have happened:
1: An invalid e-mail address
2: Firewall could be blocking TripleA from connecting to the Dice Server
3: The e-mail address does not exist
4: An unknown error, please see the error console and consult the forums for help

I have read other post with the same issue, I reinstalled latest version of Triplea and updated Java and got rid of old version; don’t know what to do next.

[Panther]

@Sovietishcat
OK, fine, then please do this:

• Start TripleA
• Start a Local Game
• When the game 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 :smiley:

@Sovietishcat

You have a way outdated TripleA version installed. (1.8.0.3 of 2014).

Please install the latest one from https://triplea-game.org/download/
Right now we are at 1.9.0.0.13066.

Please note that all games played with 1.8.0.3 are incompatible with the latest version of the engine.
So you maybe want to keep the old version and install the new one aside.
You need to redownload all maps, too, using the in-game downloader.

As you run a 32bit Java you need to install the 32bit version of TripleA.

Just ask, in case of further questions.

[Sovietishcat]

Ok, everything is working, I really don’t understand how I was with an old engine, I mean I could see 1.9.0.0.13066 on the top left when I opened triplea.

I appreciate the time you took,

Thank you :relaxed:

[Panther]

@Sovietishcat
You are welcome. Enjoy gaming :smiley:

[redrum]

@Sovietishcat You can have multiple versions of TripleA installed and could have been using the old one for a certain save game.

[Colt45554]

same issue as this dude. triple a version is updated tho I think. also made sure to get latest java.

@Colt45554 said in Dice error with the dice server.:

java.home=c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66

The interferring old Java is here:

java.home=c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66

Now browse to c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres
and delete the folder “i4j_jres” including its subfolders manually.

Then download and install the latest Java from
https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

After that you might need to reinstall TripleA to force TripleA to use the latest Java that you have just installed.

As you are on a 64bit system be sure to install the 64 bit versions of Java and TripleA.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

[Colt45554]

Thank you much. You’re a wizard :ok_hand:

[GuiltyCol]

I’ve been having the same dice server error despite having the latest versions of TripleA and Java installed, but have fixed it following @Panther’s advice. Here’s the process I followed:

1. Uninstall TripleA from the Add/Remove Programs tool
2. Uninstall Java from the Add/Remove Programs tool
3. With Windows Explorer navigate to c:\program files\common files and delete the folder i4j_jres found there
4. Reboot, cos you know, that’s a thing. :wink:
5. Reinstall the latest Java from https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
6. Reinstall the latest TripleA from https://triplea-game.org/download/

That fixed it. It seems that when Java is uninstalled, it doesn’t clean up properly after itself. No doubt it thinks there’s a good reason to leave that i4j_jres folder hanging around.

Thanks for your help Panther. :the_horns:

[Panther]

@GuiltyCol You are welcome.
Actually the i4j_jres folder has never been installed by the original Java installer itself.
It was instead part of an older TripleA installation that came bundled with it.
So the original Java installer can’t “know” about that “wild” version and thus can’t remove it.
This is why you have to clean that up manually.
