Cannot Post To Forum with TripleA

[Cyph3r]

I’ve got the 32 bit version installed. Sorry I originally stated 64, I meant 32.

[Panther]

Which Windows 32bit are you running?

[Cyph3r]

Windows 7

[Panther]

OK, can you please confirm again that there is nothing else Java-related on your PC than the latest Java 8 Update 151?

I am asking that again, because this issue has been resolved in the past by removing outdated Java versions.

Please take a look here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/2554

[Cyph3r]

I’m not sure. Maybe something uses Java? I’ve attached a list of my installed programs.

[Panther]

That looks good.

Now troubleshooting will become a bit tricky.

Please do as follows:

• Start TripleA
• Start a Local Game
• When the games 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.

Thank you :-)

Okay, thanks.

Additionally to your latest Java that you have installed manually from www.java.com, there is another version of Java installed here:

c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\1.8.0_144

TripleA is using this version instead of the latest one that you should have installed manually (151).

I suspect an interference that causes your issue.

Now use the explorer to navigate to

c:\program files\common files\i4j_jres\

and delete the folder “1.8.0_144”.

After that restart TripleA and try again. TripleA should then use the system-wide (newer) JRE.
Please report back.

[Cyph3r]

Awesome! Thank you so much! Works now!

Not sure why the Java tool to remove old versions didn’t work?

[Panther]

@Deiganator:

Great!

It is not the fault of the Java removal-tool.

The reason for this issue is another one:
In case you install Triple A for the first time and don’t have any Java on your system, the TripleA installer will download a so called bundled Java version and install this to the place I told you. TripleA will always use this bundled version regardless of any newer versions that you have installed manually. So in case things change for Java (for example security certificates), the Java version used by TripleA will not be updated.

The Java.com instructions/tools can’t know about this individual installation.

This is why I always recommend to first install/update Java from www.java.com and afterwards TripleA.

Now enjoy gaming :-)

Sorry to bug you again but I am getting another error and unable to post to forum again. I was able to in this particular game but on my Russia Turn 2 it started erroring again and will not go away.

That is the same error as before …

Please do this again:

• Start TripleA
• Start a Local Game
• When the games 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.

Thank you :-)

Deiganator, I’m assuming you’re having trouble posting to axisandallies.org.  Please correct me if I’m wrong, as some of the information below depends on this assumption.

As P@nther observed, your JRE setup still looks good, so we need to investigate the actual certificates TripleA is having trouble validating.  To do this, you can use OpenSSL to capture the certificate chain TripleA is receiving.  Item (3) at https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/2468#issuecomment-334648761 describes the basic process.  However, for your case, the OpenSSL command that you should run is

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect www.axisandallies.org:443

You can copy-paste the output in this thread.

[Cyph3r]

I can probably manage that, but my machine is 32 bit.

[ssoloff]

Sorry about that.  Here’s the link to the latest version for Windows x86: https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.2n-i386-win32.zip.

@ssoloff: Thank you for your support!

@Deiganator: Is your issue related to a special game only? I saw in https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41180.msg1727976#msg1727976 that you were able to post again?

[Cyph3r]

Yes it is this game: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41227.0

[Cyph3r]

Actually, it just happened this morning in this game too (was working as of yesterday): https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41180.15

[Panther]

Strange but interesting - it seems to happen more or less arbitrarily to you …

I hope we get some clue when you manage to run the OpenSSL-tool as suggested by ssoloff.
