    @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.

    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: 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 bots were stuck in a shutdown deadlock. A system exit call triggers the shutdown hook, and if that also invokes system exit then the system deadlocks. This could be triggered through the "admin shutdown" of a running game.

    This update would fix the situation:
    https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/15017

    That update should roll out to bots in between games (there's an automatic restart between games, the bots have pulled the latest code version, they'll activate the new version on the next game restart)
