I Recently had the same frustrating error using a GMAIL account to Play by email (PBEM) after having not played for a few years.

I found my problem was rooter in Gmail changing how they managing 3rd party software accessing their product, previously you could enable a "low" security option that permitted 3rd party access. At some point Google has changed this to requiring app specific 16 character passwords that google generates for you; these can only be used if you enable 2-way log in authentication. Once done you can set up your 16-character custom code and use GMAIL for TripleA.

Here are the steps to follow:

1 - Enable 2-step authentication on you Gmail account. This can be accessed in your Gmail security section.

2 - Once enabled search, log into you google account settings and search for "App passwords", this opens up the Apps passwords section of your account security section.

3 - Click "select App" button, from here and then select "Other custom name". Type in the app name (I just used TripleA), then click the "Generate button". A 16 character code will be generated, "Copy" this code.

4 - Back in the TripleA PBEM start page use the copies 16 character code as password for your associated email login.

Hope this works for you.

All the Best.

@NixxvonDutch I recommend to post your issues here:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35324/ww2-path-to-victory-feedback-thread

The map creators might be more active there.

Thank you for all helps, but I just gave up trying 😞

@LaFayette I was able to resolve the issue. While your are fixing stuff it would give if the path name showed when you select a file. If makes resolving duplication issues easier.

@Anders
For entering the forum and Play by Forum you use your Forum Password.
For Play by Email the forum is not touched at all, only your Email Password is relevant.

https://www.whatismyip.com/ will show you your IP as visible to the public internet.

If you check your computers IP address, that must match. Otherwise you must have port forwarding so that messages sent to the public IP at a given port are forwarded to your computer.

Yea I should of read more of the forums and been a bit more descriptive.

Lag is more like a studdering that takes place when I try to move pieces, especially ones that move multiple zones. But it also affects the map scrolling when using the mouse. But doesn't happen during AI moves.

Maps I play, it's happened on all 4, World at War, Ultimate War, NWO, Big World...and all versions of each.

It could be the amount of units, I never considered that, although I dont alter the games and give them more of anything.

TOTAL REINSTALL.tsvg It almost always happens about 3 rounds after game is started, weather it's a new game or a saved.

@tek open your triplea folder and go to downloadedMaps and then put the game/map in there.

@Hepps Sniffs around ... I smell Scotch! 🙂 wb bro

@LaFayette Oh, interesting! Is that bug reported, and likely to be fixed in a subsequent release?

@Panther Thanks for your help. I tried again just now using the auto-complete email address that Chrome populated for me and it worked immediately today, did not make any changes to triple A or gmail account. Strange, but fortunate. Cheers!

@Mitchell the problem could, it is network related, so that is a likely suspect. There is a network option to use 'system settings', perhaps that would have TripleA use the same network settings:

@JOSEPH-PRINCE and then…

thx to all for the support

@Hepps Cool - thanks again for all of the info. I really appreciate it!

Depending on the rules set, you can have a game that doesn't end. The Axis controls Eurasia and Japan while the Allies control everything else. The income is about equal and the Allies have sufficient naval and air power to prevent the Axis from expanding while the Axis has sufficient land power to counterattack and destroy and Allied landings.
