Dice server problem

[oysteilo]

I get the following erroe when trying to contact the dice server for forum games

I cant figure it out. I believe I have the latest Java Version

Any ideas? I have also reinstalled the software

Test
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

@oysteilo Please do this:

-Exit TripleA (shut down)
-Start TripleA
-Start a new Local Game (any will do)
-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

Despite you might have installed the latest Java 8 version (as of now this is Version 8 Update 231 ), your TripleA installation still uses an outdated version to be found here:

c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_66\

This old version contains outdated security certificates that cause your error.

Now you need to manually remove (delete) the “i4jres” folder containing its subfolder(s).

After that reinstall the latest Java 8 64 bit from
https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
(the offline file is fine).

Some users reported that they needed to reinstall TripleA, too.

You should be fine, then.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

[oysteilo]

Thanks!

I will try that then

I had this problem too, and that solved it for me. Thanks!
