Twilight Struggle 3.03a: can't see the hands

Dear friends,

From a couple of days ago, i can’t play Twilight Struggle module 3.03a

When i synchro with a game, it treats me like an observer: i can’t see any hands.

I haven’t changed the user nor the password, nor my fellows. They have the same problem with me. In one try, we both players had control of the Americans!! In another one, i could see the hand… but with 16 cards!

I have tried to reinstall vassal, the module, java… I am getting crazy,

Please HELP!

Windows XP
JAVA 6 update 21
Vassal 3.1.14
Module: Twilight Struggle 3.03a

Are you saying that this is still happening? You still can’t play
properly? Or was it only once?

It happens everytime: with a new game and with a saved one. I have tried no less than 50 times. Once i could see my hand, but with 16 cards… and another one we both players could see the american hand.

The player who can’t see his hand is the one who sincronizes. The other one can see his own hand. If i load or start the game, i see my hand, but my rival can’t. If my rival start or loads, then it’s me who can’t see my hand.

This doesn’t happen for me unfortunately. What I’m going to suggest is that
we connect at the same time to see what’s going on.

What time zone are you in? What times are good for you?

I am in GMT+1 (Madrid, Spain). I will post here when i could be connected:

From 17:015 to 18:00 GMT+1 today, Friday

I will be on the Main Room awaiting any help, my username is archiduquecarlos

Thank you very much!

More misteriuos things:

A friend of mine, who is experiencing the same problem, tried yesterday to play against himself with two different laptops and users. It worked. Yesterday. Not today. Today, one of shows the horrible grey hand buttons :frowning:

It’s like one of the players being sistematically treated as obsever. And, as the one who syncro, cant’ asume a side…

Note that it doesn’t ask for a side when sincronize.

We have checked other modules and they work and asd for side

I will be online from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm in Nova Scotia time

PD: I would love to travel there, my wife is an absolute fan of the “Anne of the Green Gables” saga, she had read all the eight books!

Another question: what do you mean with the “not loggin” suggestion in the quick start? Use only point to point connection insteas of Vassal server? Not use username? I am getting desperate :slight_smile:

That’s great, but I’m not in Nova Scotia right now! I’m traveling.

I’m back in Nova Scotia on Sunday.

It says to not use the logging function. It means don’t bother beginning a
logfile as it will result in strange things. Actually, that’s not true, but
I thought it was at the time. I’ll have to fix that comment.

Right now, there is 8 hours between us. I can try to be available at 14.30
your time. If that doesn’t work, I will be in N.S. on Sunday and will be
more flexible then.

I’ll check if you’re on tomorrow. If not, no worries, we’ll try again. My
login is mkiefte or Michael Kiefte.

Please, don’t worry.

I will be more or less online from 21:00 tp 00:00 GMT+1

I will have Vassal open and will be in a room called “Testing error”. In case i would be out of the keyboard, please, synchronize with me: you can see the error that way. I will have opened an standard game with me playing americans

Yours

PD: Thank you very much for you effort. Your module is absolutely outstanding. Is the best job i have seen with vassal: it knows the rules better than me :slight_smile:

Thank you very much again, Michael!

BTW, it seems the bug happened when you play with another language than english. So, it fixed changing the language into english.
