@LaFayette
Testing no sound, raised this, as it crashes.

[LaFayette]

@thedog sound is not fixed in v463? The version i posted earlier?

[TheDog]

@lafayette
Yes the latest version crashes on Windows.

[Panther]

2.7.15463 works fine here. No crash, with sound, and I'm on Windows 11.

Edit: I just read the respective Github-issue: so I add that my installation is in

C:\Games\TripleA

[TheDog]

Mine is the default install, so

C:\Program Files\TripleA

[LaFayette]

Two important fixes landed:

1. fixed the sound related crash when TripleA has a space in the installation path
2. bot networking incompatibility with game client

There are still some outstanding problems, but AFAIK nothing major that prevents gameplay with bots.

The support server has some fixes ready to address the map indexing being cut off after about 50 maps. I'm hoping that'll come in soon, and the full list of TripleA maps will be available from the maps server and also on the bots.

[LaFayette]

A second patch is in to fix the sound related crash:

@lafayette
Yea!
No crash, remote icons are showing and sound works!
Thanks!

[LaFayette]

Latet version 2.7.15493 (2026-May-07) has some additional fixes that landed today:

• [fix#14338] Game crashed for 'clients' of network games when placing purchased units:
• [fix#14336] neutrals were not selected when using the battle calc
• [fix#14343] UI(reconnect window): do not hightlight 'disconnect' button by default
• [fix#14342] The no-image image was not displaying

These should all be fixed now:

I confirm this now works, yea!
This means with all these fixes that I can use 2.7.15494 to help test a new map we are working on.

@lafayette

With 2.7.15494 the "Centering on Capital" of the active player still does not seem to work:

(Map: WWII Global 1940 Second Edition, Lock Map is deactivated)

[Cernel]

@LaFayette Cool. If anyone wants to play a game of "270BC Wars" on the latest TripleA, let me know here, so we can do some testing this way.

Yes and no.
"World War II Global 1940 2nd Edition" 'first' step is technology, which can be switched in "Game Options". Turned 'on' map will center. Turned off map does not center.
Please see discussion here.

Cheers...

@lafayette Two problems on 2.7.15494.

Joining the lobby, I don't see my name on the right bar (nor anyone else's, but I assume I'm the only one in the lobby at the moment).

Hosting via the "Host Game" button is not showing in the lobby list (as I only see the 6 automated hosts in there). The host itself looks fine: I made a turn by myself.

[Cernel]

I cannot enter the automated host. Faling, it prompts me to report to TripleA but also fails to do so. It says "[500 Internal Server Error] during [POST] to [https://prod.triplea-game.org/support/error-report] [ErrorReportClient#uploadErrorReport(ErrorReportRequest)]: [RESTEASY003880: Unable to find contextual data of type: jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest]".

Clicking on Network, I've the option to click on "Remove Game From Lobby", so it looks like the game itself "believes" to be connected to the lobby (even though it is nowhere to be seen).

[Cernel]

I'm in the new lobby at the moment. I've just tried to type in the lobby chat, but I see nothing in there other than

Welcome to the TripleA lobby!
Please no politics, stay respectful, be welcoming, have fun.

@beelee
I get

It is a bit weird, but for now I can cope with it.
