Bunch of questions about playing online, on forums, and by email

@Panther

Just checked.

Yes, kamikazes are used with low luck with that option on.

Hi Panther, Play By Forum is working now, thanks for the help.

@dawgoneit Every installation creates a TripleA shortcut on your desktop. Now those shortcuts look totally identically, so you need to figure out which shortcut is for which version.

So doubleclick on any shortcut and see which version starts. You determine the version on the top left of the starting screen:

Here you see it is Engine Version 2.1.20613.

Now load 2.1 savegames by klicking “Open Saved Games” and selecting the file.

In case you start the 1.9 engine load 1.9-savegames the identical way.

You are right, in a created scenario TripleA allowed loading the transport that has been part of the battle during NCM, which is against the rules.

Thank you for bringing it up.  :-)

There is nothing bizarre on this part of the posting linked above:

@Veqryn:

Alternative instructions for unblocking TripleA:

1. Open up “Gatekeeper”
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tab under the header “Allow applications downloaded from:”

2. Change “Allow Applications Downloaded From:” to “Anywhere”

3. You should now be able to open and use TripleA (and any other software).

Did you try that?

Also be sure to have the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment installed.
I don’t know which version comes preinstalled with your OS.

Thanks Panther, you’re a genius!  :-)

Playing Pac 40 for the first time ever and thought I’d try out the underdog - the Chinese. Needless to say I am having my butt handed to me in a wok.  :-P

It’s cool fun though.

Wow, that was fast.
Thank you very much.
