Emailing Between My Windows PC and my Friends MAC issues


  • My friend and I are new to TripleA, from what I understand there are compatability issues between MacOS and PCs but we have been able to get through 4 turns of G40 emailing the save file back and forth. Unfortunately, now he got an error about it not working on MacOS, and now when he tries to load that save file or our replacement file the play button option doesn’t even work. Any advice?

    Welcome to the forum.

    So the issue is not about emailing as the headline says, but rather about savegame-files that do not load or work correctly. Have I understood this correctly?

    As TripleA is based on Java there usually should not be any problem related to the OS.
    However I remember rare issues that are Mac related.

    @ubernaut I remember you use a Mac, right? Any insights?

    @larsonw26
    What is the exact TripleA version that both of you use?
    Please list the exact steps that you or your friend execute until the error occurs.
    And - also important - state the exact error message that is issued. Copy-paste it or upload a screenshot.
    You can upload the savegames here so we can try to load them and see what happens.


  • @Panther the only new issue i’m aware of is that if you change the folder you are trying to load from (ie move a file in or out of that folder while the open file screen is up) it breaks loading so that you need to quit to fix that but seems like this would be something different as when that happens you cant even select the file and there is no actual error displayed.

    @larsonw26 can you tell us what the error says or send a screen shot?


  • @Panther @ubernaut
    Sorry for the late reply, college is busy.
    To answer your questions, yes the issue is about the savefile not loading when my friend on his MAC tries to open it.
    We are both using TripleA version 11.0.6.
    I’m including a screenshot of the error message my friend received as well as the save file.
