Unable to start solo game

Post by Pentti Linkola »

Hi!

Sorry for being a doofus, but no matter what settings I try, I keep getting the "Lower the number of players to "1" to select a solo game mode." error when trying to start a solo game. I can't find any setting that would set the number of players to 1, it's either solo, or 2-6.

What am I missing?

This seems to be a bug on reflection only, see reports: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=78915, https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=81222, https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=80043, but they all refer to the main page. Please open up a bug report on the reflection game and post it here. Thank you!

Did you set it to 'training mode'? I have no issues playing solo games.

The problem is: When starting solo mode by the new lobby for other games (I tried it for "It's a wonderful world"), it automatically switches to training mode. This automatic switch to training mode seems not to work for solo games of Reflection in the new lobby. Can you change this, Tof63?

There are bugs with options management in the bga framework.
(For example the error "Lower the number of players to "1" to select a solo game mode." is not the error that should be displayed when you don't select the training mode, it's not what I did configure and it was working great with the old lobby)

Other games don't necessarily have as many options, with as many conditions "don't show this option if this option is selected", "don't allow to start the game if this option is selected together with this option", etc ...
So most games are not affected by the bugs I encounter on this game.

I managed to change the error message, but I don't think I can do better than that.
