    @LaFayette Yea that's basically my question. If people have to restart the game or if it's just a few second blip and the game continues as normal. Idk the answer. It just seemed some people were reacting that they had to restart. Maybe they are jumping the gun and don't know to stand pat a few seconds. Last comment I saw half hour ago or so was someone saying "tomorrow should be better" in reference to the disconnects

    @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.

    32 Bit Windows Installer - (Possibly) Will No Longer be Available

    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: 1745967815654-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.

    The 'EXIT_ON_GAME_END' flag is new in 2.7. All 2.7 lobby bots have this configured. The lobby bots are configured in a very similar way, except as a linux service (using systemctl) The way lobby bots are installed can be reverse engineered from: https://github.com/triplea-game/infrastructure/blob/master/ansible/roles/bot/tasks/main.yml https://github.com/triplea-game/infrastructure/tree/master/ansible/roles/bot/templates

    @beelee said:

    Why? My suspicion is because the "lobby reconnecting" dialog box is "always on top" - but I'm curious if that is actually the reason, or something else.

    Overall, in-game should have no impact at all when the lobby restarts, zero. Except of course the 'disconnect' window showing up. I think a better version of that would be a 'disconnect' window that was part of the lobby window, rather than a modal pop-up.

    The automatic reconnect to lobby should otherwise work. No need to restart or reconnect to lobby.

    Seems there's an open question whether lobby dropping out is impacting in-flight games in any way. It should not be.. It could be only if the bots were triggering some sort of error, but generally buts can run disconnected from the lobby just fine.

    well it seemed they were of the short 10 second or less variety or less. I guess next time it happens I'll ask if they have to restart, I assume they do.

    If you were in a battle and it happened multiple times a day, i could see where it would be annoying 🙂

    Anyway, we'll keep an eye on it. I don't really play in the lobby, although that may change a little. I just like to see how many people there are and if anyone having trouble with something.

    @beelee word, I'm not paying a ton of attention, just mostly keeping an eye on how long the disconnects are and that the lobby comes back 🙂

    It'll be something for us to keep an eye on. I expect though that lobby updates will be a bit "bursty", a couple features added here and there in a short time span and then nothing for a while.
