Problems starting up games

[Enigma]

Hey.
I’ve been playing some games lately but am not able to start up games myself - get this message. I know there is a tripleA error at the moment. Any ideas? Anyone knows if (when) the tripleA issue is solved?

[ubernaut]

@enigma is this PBF or PBEM? also what version are you using?

[Enigma]

@ubernaut PBF - version 22294. Thanks for responding :-)

[ubernaut]

@enigma there is a problem with PBF on the current stable version, my understanding is that the current pre-release solves this issue

[Enigma]

@ubernaut I know about the problem with tripleA not posting to forum. But I have just today ended a PBF-game, where we attached the gamefiles to messages in forum. But it was set up by my opponent - I cant’t.

[Enigma]

@enigma How do I find that pre-release?

[ubernaut]

@enigma there is a link on the download page :)

[Enigma]

@ubernaut thanks

[Enigma]

@enigma Don’t know how to access the file :-(

[ubernaut]

@enigma not sure what you mean

[Enigma]

@ubernaut I see the pre-release but how do one download it?

[ubernaut]

@enigma you just click the link then download whichever version you need :)

[Enigma]

@ubernaut If I do, is it possible to proceed ongoing games? Is the pre-release going to be a regular version soon?

not sure but you said you were trying to make a new game anyway right?

Is the pre-release going to be a regular version soon?

not sure about that either :P

@enigma

I am quoting myself from another topic:

@panther said in TripleA posting to Forum currently does not work:

…
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.

@panther Thank You for taking You time to answer. Tough decision 🤔. Since the problem has been present since january one might hope, that a new fixed version will be ready soon.
Still strange though, that I am not able to set up games at all, but are able to play games set up by opponents. Off course with the “tripleA not able to post to forum issue”.

I agree this is strange. This question remains open, indeed.
