@fmerwinrommel

How should it? Currently no one deals with it. That is what we are talking about. You and others could just add their concerns and requests to take care about this issue.

@Karl7 this explains it a bit better

@RoiEXLab Ok. Thanks for the overview. I can try to take a look but it appears my development environment no longer works. Looks like maybe a bunch of folder structure changes and possibly others. Not sure how long it would take me to get it working or wipe it and set up a fresh one.

@panther Thank you Panther! I did post to the thread on TripleA. If I am reading it right it sounds like the issue is perhaps almost resolved.

@andrewaagamer yea it looks like redrum got it to work on the latest pre release.

They’ll need to patch it into the current stable before it works there. If you want, you can try testing on the pre release. i’m gonna give it another shot but i have a separate issue with the pre release so we’ll see how it goes : )

Thanks to everyone helping to raise awareness of this issue.

And of course to @redrum for fixing it.

Thank you Panther.

Please tell me what I must do, in simple terms, to fix this crime against humanity.

What do you mean?
To play a game and post it or fix it?

Either

1. wait until the TripleA developers might release a 2.5 (current stable) fixed version

or

2. wait until the TripleA developers might release a new 2.6 stable release

or

3. go with the latest pre-release version (2.6.621 as of now). For being able to download maps you need to alter a setting in the Engine Preferences. In the tab “Testing” switch “Lobby URl Override” to “Pre-Release”.

I am not sure if and when 1. or 2. will be realized anytime soon.

So in case you want to test a pre-relase version (download from https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases) be sure to install it into a different target folder to run it side by side with your current version.

But be warned - there may be other issues related to a pre-release - which may eventually not be resolved quickly - and where support or a workaround or a fix might not be in sight, either.

I will lock this topic here now.
