IllegalStateException User doesnt exist!

[Guderian1]

@panther thank you. Im pretty sure theres no way for me to change the username. I will send you a PM

@guderian1

OK then, I changed it to Guderian1 as requested.

[Guderian1]

@panther Thanks. With my new one word username the game client can actually post to the forum now.

[redanto]

@guderian1 My friend and I are having the same issue. He even created a brand new account and still says the user name does not exist.

@redanto

I have seen you successfully posting (https://forums.triplea-game.org/post/60297) so which issue do you still have?

And what about your friend? What is his username?

[redanto]

I was able to but I just tried and it says the same thing. My friend has tried his first account and a new account.

@redanto

OK, so you two should post a screenshot of your PBF settings that you entered before the error message occurs, please.

Started TA again re-enttered and then got this normal error message of does not exist

[Panther]

@redanto
Are you using a Mac?

[redanto]

@panther

Yes

[Panther]

@redanto

OK, then can you please try the latest prerelease from
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases

You can install side by side, just be sure to choose a different installation directory.
Also, when launching TripleA be sure to start the 'correct' installation.

I vaguely remember related problems with Macs but I cannot remember at what point that had been fixed (as I don't use Macs).

@panther

Ok we both downloaded the latest version. It works. The only difference is he can post to the forum from the game. However I have to save manually and upload the saved game. I get the following message. We are able to play with the work around.

@redanto
Thanks for the info. Glad you can log in and at least post now. PBF code needs a rework, there actually are some known and unresolved issues/topics about that.

Now enjoy gaming.

[beelee]

@redanto yea @redrum did the fix for the prerelease. Evidently it doesn't work for macs. But hey, you can play

[ubernaut]

@beelee mine works fine on mac (prerelease)

[beelee]

@ubernaut oh that is good to know.

@redanto try deleting all your triplea stuff and re DL.

[IrritatedRhino]

Same issue, unfortunately. I am running version 2.5.22294, java ver 11.0.6.

My UN is @IrritatedRhino

not sure what I am doing incorrectly, but I would love to start playing.

PBEM doesn't work either, I get the dreaded TLS error, I presume it has to do with Google tightening security.

[IrritatedRhino]

Oh yeah, also, I get "No Value Present" when I try to view forum. I an not sure if this is it, or not, but the help tool tip says to post in category/6/, but the PBF category seems to be Category/45/... Is there an .ini I can update, or am I on an older version?

Thanks in advance!
