Dice Server Error

I have Triple A installed on 2 different computers.

On my primary computer, I was able to get it updated and working with the new https/SSL site. However, I am having trouble connecting to the dice server with the latest Triple-A on my other computer.

When I load the saved game file, and click ‘Test Server’, I get a Java error.

I have updated both Triple-A and Java on my computer today, and un-installed the old Java.

Here is the full Java error:

An error has occured!
Possible reasons the error could have happened:
1: An invalid e-mail address
2: Firewall could be blocking TripleA from connecting to the Dice Server
3: The e-mail address does not exist
4: An unknown error, please see the error console and consult the forums for help

Any help would be great, thanks!

Hey Panther,

Thanks, got it working.

I had updated my ‘normal’ Java, but my JDK was still an older version, and it seems Triple-A was using the JDK instead of the non-development Java version (just in case anyone else runs into this specific setup issue).

Just to echo what Panther said, all I did was update my JDK installation.

Triple A then picked up and used the latest JDK.
