    For a full changelog see here:
    https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/changelog.txt

    Reporting bugs:
    Please report any bugs encountered here:
    https://sourceforge.net/p/triplea/_list/tickets

    If you find bugs, I really can’t do much about them unless you upload an autosave.  It will save me tons of time if you give me an autosave / or save game made sometime before the bug occurred.  Also mention what map the bug occurred on, and copy and paste the error if there is one.

    Your save games are in a folder right next to where the maps are:
    (Windows XP)  C:\Documents and Settings\userName\triplea
    (Windows 7)  C:\Users\userName\triplea
    (Mac)  /home/user/documents/triplea/
    (Linux)  /home/user/triplea/

    [They are NOT in program files.  They are in a folder in your user account.]

    When you are making a post, click the “More Options” button.  From there click “Upload a file”.
    Simply upload the autosave, or other save, to your post.

    I really really appreciate savegames, it makes my life a lot easier.

    Please also describe what happened before the bug occurred, and copy and paste the full error message, and of course say what map and what version of TripleA you were using!

    thanks,
    redrum

    I don’t experience any problems using the “all platforms” download.
    Everything runs just fine.

    Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

    Well, I downloaded the MAC versions, and it does not run at all.  Just errors.  Can’t load games, can’t play by forum, can’t do anything.

    Any ideas?

    @Karl7 - Well it appears that the folder does exist in the mac installer so shouldn’t have any issues: TripleA\Triplea.app\Contents\Resources\dice_servers\

    Can you try redownloading and reinstalling?

    Can some other mac users try downloading and installing the latest mac install to see if they run into any errors?

    Yeah, I was using 1805.  Is there some remnant file or something left when I deinstall 1805 that is corruption the next version?

    I’ll try to download and open again.  But I’ve already done that, making me think there is something going on with the installer.  BUT, I am no computer wizard so I could be fuckking it up too.

    Is there any thing about deleting the old version I need to do before loading the new?  Some conflict that’s screwing it up?

    Downloaded latest version again, and get same error above anytime I try to do something.

    Any ideas?

    Hmmm. Not sure. I doubt it has anything to do with previous versions. It could be a file permissions issue as it seems like that directory exists but it won’t read it.

    Do you still have 1.8.0.5 installed? If not then I’d redownload that and see if it works. That way we can determine if its an issue with the new version or an issue with your setup.

    Yeah, 1805 works fine…. hmm… I am at a loss.  Anyone else have this problem?  If not, then it’s got to be something with my computer.

    Just FYI, on my mac, I download the DGM file on my desktop and run it.  It creates a disk image on my desktop and I enter that image to toggle the program.  Anything there that might be contributing to the problem?

    Hi

    Can I just check whether version 1.8.0.7 is good to go for non-MAC users?

    No-one having any problems?

    Thanks very much barney. Much appreciated.

    Having rejected the upgrade when first opening triple a it does not offer it to me now. Presumably I will need to restart the PC. Will try it later.

    I’m also a Mac user, and having a similar problem with v. 1.8.0.7. (Had no problems with 1.8.0.5).

    It download and installs just fine. Single player also works fine. The problem is with TripleA online. I login, and get to the lobby fine. But whenever I try to join a game (regardless of map), I get an error message, and the game doesn’t allow me to enter.

    The error message is as follows:

    Are there any Mac users out there who have TripleA Online working with the latest version?

    Looks like we are in the same boat.  I cannot use 1807 on a mac and get more or less the same error.
