2.6 Testing (Report 2.6 problems here)

[TheDog]

@myrd
One reason for the poor uptake in testing is the 2.6 map download servers dont work.
So players have to

• download a map with 2.5
• play/test in 2.6
• link that with 2.6 unzipping problems

=too many hurdles.

Map downloads are now dependent on the server and database to be operational. The database server on the prerelease server keeps crashing. It is currently crashed and probably has been for a bit now (before I was manually turning it back on every now and then).

Second, we also have disk space issues. That could be causing the DB to halt. Second, there might be something in the deployment that is killing the database.

@thedog Yea, I did notice that.

I'm not sure why each version uses separate download servers. Why can't 2.6 just use the 2.5 servers?

[beelee]

yea i still can't use it. wtf lol

[Myrd]

@beelee

It works fine for me as long as I download maps with 2.5, so I have both around. Or is there some other problem as well you're running into?

[beelee]

@myrd says issue has been taken care of. Still doesn't work for me https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/9252

Thanks for the reply

Hi. The "all" button has gone away in version 2.6 when clicking on a territory in the Combat and Non Combat phases. It still seems to be there in the Place Unit phase.

I've attached screenshots of two games (both World War II Global 1940 2nd Ed.) one played on the latest 2.6 release and the other on the current 2.5 release to illustrate the issue. In the 2.6 game the Russian select units box does not have the "All" button (it is present on the screenshot from the 2.5 game).

@roybot thanks for the report, it should now be fixed.

[Myrd]

@TheDog there's been a number of fixes and performance improvements in 2.6. I'm wondering if you could do your performance test on the latest prerelease.

@myrd
Funny you should ask, Im testing TripleA-2.6.801

Its currently the fastest version coming in with 20sec, for my simple test.

For comparison TripleA-2.5.22294 is 43sec.

So its over twice as fast 2.5, fantastic for AI players and for testing.

Just downloaded/installed Pre Release version 2.6.805 (replacing 2.6.792) and the "ALL" button is now present. Thanks.

On 2.6.801 I used a save made on 2.5 and all the National Objectives are screwed up. Most didn't show up at all and some showed up incorrectly. Also I have "Rail" units that should place at start of CombatMove but don't.

Unfortunately i didn't make a separate save for 2.5, so i can't post the same game. This is the 2.6 one Game 20 EXP 7.643 2.6.801 Pre.tsvg
Japan and USA both didn't get any NO's or Rail units placed. Also, some Notifications didn't show up either.

Here's a quick 2.5 save that shows the rail units and Objectives showing up.
2.5 Example Save.tsvg

Edit
I was able to find a 2.5 in Auto Save. This should make for easier comparison. Run this in 2.5 2.5 Auto Save Test Recreate.tsvg

And this in 2.6 2.6auto Save Test Recreate.tsvg

Note the Ojectives panel differences and if you wanna bomb through Germany you'll see how the Rail units and Notifications don't show up.

@beelee

Thanks, I am able to reproduce with your 2.5 save game - I can see that for example none of the American NOs are met in 2.6, but most of them are in 2.5. I'll take a look.

[Myrd]

@beelee This should be fixed now and should be available in the next prerelease (https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.812 - once it's available).

Can you test again and confirm that the issues you've observed are all resolved? (Once the above prerelease is available.)

[beelee]

@myrd with 2.6.813 the objectives now work correctly. However, the "Rail" units and Notifications don't show up. Use this in 2.5 2.5 Auto Save Test Recreate B.tsvg and you'll notice at the start of Russia's combat move 2 Rail and 1 Europe Rail in Russia.

And at the end of Japan's turn this Notification.

[Myrd]

@beelee

Thanks, should be fixed too. https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/2.6.814

[beelee]

@myrd Heh heh You're just kickin ass wherever you go lol
Works like a charm Rock on !

[beelee]

No problem just want to know if the no u-turn sign means no retreat ?

Thanks

[Myrd]

@beelee Yes, that's right.

USA took over an Italian Major Factory and it's supposed to turn into a Minor Factory and didn't. 2.5 Auto Save Test Recreate C.tsvg

[beelee]

Germany conquered Belarus and the Landmines owned by "Changer" who only has 1 turn at Game start. turned into white squares.

I hit undo and they turn red

Here they are before the attack

Changer is Allied to all Players so his units are not conquered and do not cause conflict with whoever owns the TTy there in, in case that helps at all

2.5 Auto Save Test Recreate D.tsvg

Edit
Yea, so it looks like what's happening is the Changer units are "changing" lol, to whoever conqueres them and since there aren't images for them they get a generic one.

Edit 2
@Myrd so i tracked back to 2.6.800 and the above problems still exist. 2.5 Auto Save Test Recreate E.tsvg
Start with last ANZAC turn and you'll see how the Green circle changes in Guam.
I wonder if this has anything to do with PR #10515 ? Where the missing unit icons were introduced ? or changed ?

Unfortunately i can't go back any further on prereleases. Should I open a git issue for this as well ? My guess is that the above are probably all related.
