    Nope, got both 32 and 64 bit versions still getting the error.

    Removed the 64 bit version, reinstalled the 32 bit version over the old one, still erroring out.

    Probably the upgrade to IE10, but I use IE way more than I ever used TripleA, so I need to figure out a way to keep IE and make TripleA work around it.

    Fixed it.

    For those interested:

    Uninstall anything TripleA related - delete map files you have, hell just delete the directory if you save there which is what I did.  I used Revo Uninstaller just to be good and sure it was really uninstalled (some programs say they are, but still leave traces on the computer.)

    Download again (cause I didn’t have the file, which is fine.)  Install again.

    Works now.

    It must have gotten glitched at some point.  Probably with a security patch, but it coulda been the crud my kids downloaded into my computer a week ago too, (167 viruses, over 500 tracking cookies, it was a fun day! )


  • Just got around to trying out TripleA, and I am currently trying it against an AI.

    It’s awesome!  :-D

    Looking forward to a game against an opponent once I get it figured out! :)

    (Yes I will be going to the thread to do so.)

    the AI is more of a novelty, or something to use on a first playthrough of a map

    triplea is really meant to be played either online, or play-by-forum/email

    i recognize you from gto.  glad to see we are not completely unknown to those guys.

    That was my intent for the AI, mainly. Just to get a feel for the system. I may still use it on occasion just to see what crazy stuff the AI will let me get away with. :lol:

    It’s nice to be recognized from another site.  :-) I think I may have seen you over there; I’m not sure.

    Okay, so when you look at the history, the entire program stops working.  Where do you go to start it up again?  Or do you have to save it and open it again?

  • Customizer

    To look at “HISTORY” click the “GAME” menu then click “SHOW HISTORY”

    To stop looking at history, and see the “CURRENT GAME”, click the “GAME” menu, and then click “SHOW CURRENT GAME”

    But will that restart the AI?  Was trying something out, went to look at the history during the AI’s turn because I forgot what England collected, and couldn’t get the game to start again without first saving it, then opening it again.

  • Customizer

    When you are in another player’s turn, including an AI’s turn, the history panel comes up automatically.
    When their turn is over and it becomes your turn, it will switch to the current game automatically.
    Being in either does not affect other people’s turns.

    You said your kids have installed tons of viruses on your computer.  I think 99% of your computer problems are probably related to that.  If I was you I would reformat my computer and then install a virtual machine for the kids.  Any time they screw it up (or just once a month to be sure) you could reset the virtual machine to the day you installed it with a single click.

    Yea they have their own computers, and have for a month or so.

    There doesn’t appear to be anything on this computer atm - malware wise, and the only issue I have is when I go to look at history in any game which seems to require me to save, and reopen the game to get things to move again.  Maybe the “automatically” isn’t working, is there a manual way to tell the game to continue?

  • Customizer

    I think maybe you are not seeing something, or are confused in some way.

    The game doesn’t stop unless it is a human person’s turn, OR human input is required (like for casualty selection, etc), OR the AI is thinking really really hard (big maps, or when the AI has too much money).

    Ah, could be too many troops, but it does seem to lock up after combat at times or whenever I pause it by going to history…but then, I did have to delete the program and all other versions and reinstall to get it to work in the first place.

    I am currently playing a game of G40 with an opponent. Every time I try to open his map, I get a message telling me

    “Your TripleA engine is OUT OF DATE. This save was made by a newer version of TripleA….This TripleA engine is version 1_6_1_4 and you are trying to open a savegame made with version 1_6_1_5”

    I have searched for this version 5 and cannot seem to find it. I tried downloading the beta 1.7 and still get a similar message.

    The game still loads and plays. It is just a conundrum…

    Here is a link to our game

    TripleA 1.7.0.1 comes with triplea 1.6.1.5 inside of it (for the purpose of opening up 1.6.1.4 maps).

    So if you run TripleA 1.7.0.1, and then click “load game” and load your savegame with 1.7, it will then open it with a new process of 1.6.1.5, and you will not see any message about being out of date (instead you will see a message saying you are using this ‘new’ feature to run an old savegame).

    In any case, there are only a couple very small updates in 1.6.1.5, so you can ignore both messages.

    Run it with 1.7.0.1, or run it with 1.6.1.4, both are OK.

    Thank you sir


  • Thank you both for question and answer.
    I wondered about that.

    Now I have the newer version(1.7), can I uninstall 1.4 and 1.6?
    I am guessing I can, but am not a computer person.

    Also can I delete my opponents’ old downloaded games(the ones which I use to do my next go)?
    I cannot see how to and have so many now.
    Thank you.

  • Customizer

    1.7.x.x will play game saves from 1.6.x.x and 1.5.2.x.  (but not anything older than 1.5)

    So finish up your 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 savegames, and then delete all your old versions of triplea.

    About savegames, you can find your savegames by starting triplea, then clicking “Engine Preferences”, then clicking “Open user maps and savegame folder”. 
    That button should open up the folder for you on your computer.

    Or you can browse to it manually:
    (Windows XP)  C:\Documents and Settings\userName\triplea
    (Windows 7)  C:\Users\userName\triplea
    (Mac)  /home/user/documents/triplea/
    (Linux)  /home/user/triplea/


  • Thank you Veqryn.

    But can I change the default location to find and save game files?  I don’t WANT them in some obscure directory tree out on my C: drive somewhere. :P
