Hey friend, try this lobby URL: -Ptriplea.lobby.uri=https://prod2-lobby.triplea-game.org \

I found it randomly by browsing through the forums as my terminal didn't recognize the original URL either. It works :).

I'm now at the point where I'm trying to figure out how to remove the "automated_host" thing in the comments section as I"d like to change that to something else. that, and I'd like the BOT to automatically load up the revised map. Any suggestions here?

Hello, I finally figured out the difficult journey to hosting a lobby bot, or at least it was hard for me! Xan any of you advise me so that the "comments section" can be changed so it doesn't say "automated_host"? I couldn't find any information on that going through the forums. Thank you.

I have made more progress by installing some missing Java components.

Here is my latest issue with the lobby URL perhaps?
