Maybe this thread should be locked?

@LaFayette It would be nice if we could get it working on the latest pre releases for testing purposes. Perhaps you could chron job to update once a week? Also I was unable to log into it last weekend as well. It is quiet and peacefull there with an empty bot

ok well i didn't really understand the answer. So my understanding is, there is no pre release lobby at the moment but sometimes, in the past, there was and may be in the future.

I saw something on git that made it sound as if the new stable was coming out soon and saw something here where I thought someone said a lot of people are in the pre release lobby. So that's why I tried to join.

Anyway, I just like to check in and check attendance and what games are being played. Attendance seems down lately so I thought maybe some were on the new lobby. Maybe it historically goes down in summer for the northern hemisphere ? Idk. Until recently I wasn't around in summer.

Anyway thanks for the replies : )

@beelee Simple answer is it was working and broke again I guess but I am using a recent pre release. Also yes the lobby slows in summer till kids back in school. My statement about peace and quiet was meaning that the testing lobby is empty and the bot is full speed

Are you guys using the latest pre-release to connect to the lobby, or actually trying to connect to the prerelease lobby? The latter is not automatic, unless you're configuring it, it would be the former that you're attempting.

Speaking for myself, "actually trying" was what I was attempting. Unfortunately, Idk how todo the configure thing, but I'm not gonna give up on it

I can connect to 13066 lobby. It seems to have no effect as far as trying to join the pre release one that I can tell. I'm guessing it takes more than just dling the pre release to make the configure thing work

[beelee]

I can't seem to get to configure. I made it this far:

Is there supposed to be a configure button somewhere ? Or am I way off base ?

[LaFayette]

@beelee in the game, open the settings window, under the testing tab, update the field "lobby host override" to be "prerelease.triplea-game.org", save, and re-launch TripleA. It's buggy right now though and the prerelease lobby is too old to work with the latest. Work is needed to fix that..

@LaFayette ok thank you was unfamiliar with the terminology. This is what I currently have:

I'm guessing the pre lobby isn't active yet then ? Anyway, thanks for your reply and the configure answer
