Hm, you don’t say which Operating System you are using.

Let us assume you use Windows.

Depending on your Windows version you need to install either the
TripleA_2.5.22294_windows-32bit.exe
or the
TripleA_2.5.22294_windows-64bit.exe
file.

Same applies to newer Versions of TripleA.

The older your Windows is the higher is the probability that you need the 32bit setup file.

In any case you should uninstall the program that is not working and reinstall TripleA.
Also, yes try the other versions you have and see if those problems occur, too.

Good luck.

@dawgoneit

You are welcome. :-)

@Amon-Sul

Welcome back. As you didn’t play by forum for quite some time, I assume that your TripleA-version is outdated, You need a current pre-release in oder to be able to post to the forum.
Get it rom:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

You can keep your current installation if you want. Just install the new release into a different installation directory, then.

@dawgoneit

I am sorry. This doesn’t seem to be a common problem or problem related to TripleA itself.
I will do a bit of research however, maybe I’ll find something what might help you.

@brycecress
I have just tested the email-registration process and cannot reproduce the issue. It worked fine for the email I tested with.

@brycecress @Amon-Sul

I am sorry I cannot recommend any specific mail-service. As it is not even proven that TripleA/Marti is the culprit.

I have successfullty tested the MARTI-server-functionality using a trash-mail-address.

I can only recommend that you try whatever service until it works.

Sorry.

Current stable is 2.6.14752

Release Notes: https://triplea-game.org/release_notes/

Note: To avoid issues it is always recommended that all players use the latest stable version to beginn new games. So when playing together, reassure yourself that everyone is up-to date.

In case any player is not up to date chances are high, that proceeding a game started with the current version with an outdated TripleA-version will corrupt the game or at least aspects of the game.

So in case you are still on 2.5 or on an older 2.6 version it is recommended to finish your games with those. Savegames are not compatible!

The developers reverted back to 2.522294, as it turned out that currently 2.6 versions don’t work properly with the so-called “bot-play” in the “Lobby”.

This does not affect play by forum of course.

In case you play lobby/bot you should use 2.5.22294 to do so.

People who prefer to use a current pre-release can download those here:

@SuperbattleshipYamato

As @ubernaut says.
Personally I have never used the the lobby for online play so I can’t share any personal experience with you. Sorry.

@Lost
Please post the link to the respective posting, and I will correct the typo/wrong link.
Thank you.

@Panther https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/42/by-thetrooper-re-triplea-for-dummies-the-noob-s-how-to-pbem-guide/7 it is in here towards the bottom of the page, posted by user named deltium

Wow, that was an old topic. Anyway, thank you for pointing it out. Corrected, now.

@VictoryFirst

I recommend to finish current games with 2.6 and then start new games with 2.7.
Also, yes, all players should have the latest version installed.
2.7 is still in pre-status however.

@VictoryFirst said in Was able to retreat to a just captured territory:

I was playing a game of Europe and on the first turn during the combat phases something weird happened. My units that fought in Ukraine were able to retreat to East Poland, even though no land units moved through East Poland to reach Ukraine and East Poland was captured in a battle in that same turn.

Unless specific rules apply to this specific map, this appears to be a bug. When retreating has Eastern Poland been explicitly indicated as a territory to retreat to?

However, I recreated a similar situation in Global1940 map - and there it works as expected.
So I suppose it is a map-related bug rather than an engine related one.

@VictoryFirst said in Was able to retreat to a just captured territory:

Is it possible that any of the properties that are set for this map caused this bug?

I have no clue found the culprit that caused the misbehaviour in your game.

I have recreated the scenario starting with a new game and did a couple of tests without the attacking bomber. In no case preaviously token East Poland had been offered as territory to retreat to. In every case only legal territories had been offered.

But: When I added the bomber’s attack, the bomber flies over (pre-battle) East Poland. By this action it seems to open and later offer a retreat route to East Poland. What of course usually is against the rules.

@VictoryFirst said in Was able to retreat to a just captured territory:

Yes, I was thinking of that too. Does that also happen in other games like G40?

It never obivously occurred - as this has never been reported. But that is something to test now.

@VictoryFirst Revised=v2

@VictoryFirst

OK, so the old Europe Map codewise is based on Classic (v1) rules. Here the retreat rule is as follows:

So the plane came from a territory that - at the time of retreating - is friendly (as it was captured before). The rules are different from other editions.

So engine-wise the behaviour is correct. The Europe map is codewise based on a ruleset that allows this special retrat move. It’s against the Europe rulebook however.

@VictoryFirst

It looks like the players - once again - have to take care of the game rules themselves. As v1 rules differ from the Europe 1999 -rulebook.

@dawgoneit

The latest version is always here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

As you can see 2.7.14900 is the latest (currently).
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.7.14900

I wonder why you would want the old and outdated 2.6.14752, but it is here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.14752

Moved to the correct forum category.
