    @LaFayette Right Arm I been seeing the spinning circle a bit more frequently ever since the Big June update. I know the other site gets hammered pretty hard sometimes. I think Djensen got some counters but sometimes they still get through.

    @EyesWideShut If you haven't already, you could try reinstalling the map. Some of the maps had to have that done after the update. Will ping @cernel for you

    @beelee love the idea of the sock snorkel. IMO bivvy + tarp is the play. We're not likely to get rain out here until September, didn't even bring a rain coat!

    @LaFayette @ubernaut The good news is that emails land in gmail-accounts again (let's see how long). The dice-email go to the spam-folder - but that's easy to handle!

    @LaFayette said: i'm able to repro the black test I'm sure you're already aware of this but just in case as soon as I click on anything after it goes black, even an empty space, the black goes away. Idk how to communicate that to people. I guess they'll probably just figure it out on their own. It'd be nice if it didn't happen at all but most likely lower on the priority todo list.

    @prastle the reason for discord is the live voice capability. It's a glorified phone call. Discord overall is good for that kind of thing, also good for getting quicker answers to questions. Though, forums will remain the place to be for a sustained, longer, more in depth conversation. A chat room like discord will tend to have very ephemeral topics, usually one at a time. While forum threads do fall off the top, they still stick around. Overall, discord will be a good place when you want to have a phone call, or a meeting, or a question answered in a couple hours or a day. Forums is best though for raising topics where you're happy accumulating a response days, maybe weeks later.

    @thedog I think you just need to remove the spaces after and before the curly brackets.

    A quick update regarding 32 bit installers - looks like it is no longer even an option for us. Not even a choice now whether to include it or not. Details: I'm running some updates, and ran across our notes for how to bundle the 32 bit Java version for windows-32 bit installers: https://github.com/triplea-game/assets [image: Screenshot from 2025-04-29 16-02-38.png] Basically, download the 32 bit JDK from some website (https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html) and do some re-packaging stuff. That website has JDKs only up to Java 16. So.. any next release would be on Java 17 or Java 21. It looks like a 32 bit installer is no longer even an option for us (unless someone can find a 32 bit JDK21 somewhere; I kinda suspect such a thing may not even exist now).

    Thanks @beelee and all for feedback & votes I think I'll tend to agree with the majority here. Bad things happen when rushed. Perhaps the next couple months will serve as an extended testing period - a very good thing. I reduced the number of 2.7 bot servers to two. That's a cost of $10/month and gives us 6 game instances in the meantime. I'll spin up a 2.7 'megathread' thread & link it in the lobby. Make the testing a bit more official.

  • @LaFayette Cool. However, it does not seem to me that the place chosen for the auto-saves is very polished (kind of buried, and I guess might favour them being overlooked once again as a removed feature rather than a problem as opposed to have a dedicated space if not working). I think it would be better having a "Load Bot-Save" button right under the "Select Game" button.

    By the way (minor detail), they are not actually "towards the bottom": they are before all games starting with lower case (which I guess are also something that should not be (?), all names ideally better starting upper case). I mean, this is what I see:
    20260922.png

    However, I do recall that bots are supposed to be supported only for a few years more and eventually phased out in favour of better (and cheaper) ways, and I'm sure bot-users are just fine as they are (and anyway I'm not a bot-user, so I'm not really the person who should give user-experience suggestions on the matter).

    A problem with bots is that the very few users who report any problems are usually persons savvy enough to be able to host, so any problem with bots is likely not getting reported, unfortunately. I remember I was told this problem (auto-saves missing) the days after the release (months ago), and maybe I reported it somewhere or someone else did (don't remember). Maybe there is an issue still open in GitHub about this.

  • Bot Autosaves restored Autosaves in bots were missing in our latest codebase Autosaves were moved from their own dedicated "load autosave" button to the "select game" button in the hosting menu An update to "live-load" that list so that new maps were picked up dynamically regressed the feature and didn't add the autosaves to the "select game" list. As a result, there was no way to select autosaves.

    This is now fixed via: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/15002

    The autosaves now do appear in the "select game" list, towards the bottom:
