Fail to log in lobby

[Mitchell]

what's wrong with it? Need help,Thanks!

Is this a new problem? Something is blocking your computer from resolving the website address noted in the error message.

You can hack around this by setting the lobby-uri directly. To do so go to 'settings' > 'testing' , and fill in the lobby URI to be "https://prod2-lobby.triplea-game.org", save and then connect to lobby.

This is not a good long term solution, I would remove the override setting every now and then. Let us know how it goes.

@LaFayette Thanks for your help!I can log into the lobby now.By the way,if you remove the override setting,how should I log in then?

[Mitchell]

@LaFayette is this a normal way to log in? When I log in the lobby,it is said it's a override server,is this normal?

[LaFayette]

No, this is not a normal way to log in. When doing development we'll host the lobby at different web addresses, this is the field we use to specify that. Typically the game goes to a file hosted on github to read this same information and it uses that. Instead what we've done here is you've hardcoded that information into the game and are accessing the lobby directly. This is the game is attempting to read but is unable to get to github 'raw' storage: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/blob/master/servers.yml

Did the problem just start happening @Mitchell ?

[Mitchell]

@LaFayette I just play TripleA occassionally and mostly local game,I had not played it for several months before I downloaded the latest version and found this problem yesterday.

[Mitchell]

@LaFayette Hello Lafayette, does this problem have anything to do with VPN? I use it when I access the internet outside the China.

[LaFayette]

@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:
