Java update problem

We’re good!

@Panther
Yikes! Ok, thanks, again. Making sure everyone updates to the latest version, before starting a new game, is, inevitably, mid-game, for their other games, which would then mess up those games. Installing and running different Triple A versions in different directories sounds like a nightmare to this tech challenged fella. It doesn’t sound like I have a choice, though. Dammit!

@FMErwinRommel Good find! As in Global “UK Pacific units” simply do not exist.
By the rules “All combat moves, combat, and noncombat moves are made or conducted as any other power’s single, united force.”
So the TripleA battle calculator seems to somehow “sort” those units depending on whether they are on the European side of the map or on the Pacific side of the map.

Interestingly this does not occur with sea units. Those are correctly represented as being “British”, even on the Pacific side of the map.

@redrum :

In the attached savegame please use the BattleCalculator and look at SZ 37 and 39. The UK ships are correctly represented as “British”. The Infantry units in Malaya instead are incorrectly represented as “UK Pacific”, while they should be “British”, too. Switching to “British” sets everything to “Zero”. This is not exactly @FMErwinRommel 's scenario, but good enough to represent the issue.

@Tizkit
You are welcome and thank you for sharing your experience.

Now enjoy gaming :slightly_smiling_face:

@captainwalker
You are welcome. Enjoy gaming. :slightly_smiling_face:

thank you Again Panther. all good.

There we have the culprit:

TripleA needs Java 8, as there are compatibility issues with Java 9 and Java 10.

Haven’t you installed Java 8 Update 171?

Now you have got options as follows:

Please report back.  :-)

In this context I have been PM’ed about how to find out whether the connection is via IPv4 or IPv6.
As this might be interesting for others, too, here is the answer:

There are various web-services, for example

http://get.youripfast.com

showing your public IP as well as the IP version in use (IPv4 or IPv6) for your device.

Note that all devices that are behind a router will show the external IP of the router.

So regarding the issue discussed in this thread, you could deactivate WLAN for your smartphone (has the external IPv6 connection of the router) and establish a mobile data connection with it (2G, 3G, 4G). Your mobile carrier will probably assign an IPv4 address to your phone then and you can register with MARTI using your smartphone, then.
