socket error

@panther

Thanks Panther, appreciate your feedback - I just checked that link and, yes, the issue was fixed.

Regards,
Andros.

@Panther I have accidently downloaded the wrong thing along with the new version of triple a 2.0.
I thought to find it in the pre release link but this was online a patch wich caused the trouble. I think it was this patch.

I just waited if my opponent could run a battle as well without any issue.

All fine now. I erased the wrong patch.

@farmboy Yes, strange enough, I agree!

@plasmaboy It all depends on where you and your opponent play your game.

When you want to play on triplea-game .org you select that in the PBF settings and you need your username cheesewarrior. When you want toplay on axisandallies .org you need to select that one in the PBF settings and you need your username plasmaboy.

The TripleA software just supports both forums. You and your opponent decide which one to use.
axisandallies .org and triplea-game .org are different websites.

You can play different games on different forums. But once you decided for either site for a game you continue that game there. Also not everyone has an account on both of the forums.

So in case you have ongoing games in both forums be sure that the PBF settings are correct when loading a savegame. That means load the savegame, klick on “Start PBEM (Play-By-Email/Forum) Game” (see the second screenshot above). This will open the PBF settings (see first screenshot). Check if the settings are correct - and adjust them if necessary.

And by the way: You don’t need to be logged in to any forum before starting the TripleA software. Actually what the software does is

login to the specific forum you have chosen in the PBF settings with your respective forum account post the move

All of this is determined by the details you enter in the PBF settings.

@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.

@Ferrousgryphon Perfect! Enjoy gaming :smiley:

@Panther Thank you very much

ok, that is a much better description of the problem
