How to start Solo Mode?

[aedalus7]

Hi folks, I'm trying to try the Solo mode for jump drive, but every time I click start I get a "Solo mode requires the expansion cardset" red banner error on the top of the page. I've tried messing with the game settings but haven't found any that fix it. I feel like there's something obvious I may be missing?

Thanks!

I had this happen to me too... I had to switch to multiplayer setup, add the Terminal Velocity expansion there, then switch back to solo... Hope that helps!

Work around as described by Kayvon in the bug reports: Use the new lobby from the game page once, than the BGA system should remember those settings and allow you to go back to the Play Now interface.
Warning: I just tried this and now I can't even get into the Play Now lobby dialogue for Jump Drive, and I get the same error message in the new lobby!

I created a new bug report for this: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=255988

BGA changed the way they interpret starting options, which resulted in all solo mode breaking. We've corrected that, but it leaves this current situation.

At the moment, the best solution is to try starting through the alternative method. Create a multiplayer table so it will latch in the new settings, then the next time you create the table it will default to multiplayer and can be safely changed to solo. Outside of that, I'm not sure how to best navigate BGA's starting systems.

Sorry, but this doesn't work for me, as described in my report.

Sorry, but this is the only solution I have at the moment, as described above.

BGA pulled the rug out from under us requiring changes to even let the game start at all. Anything further on my end requires a larger rewrite of more than just the options due to how the game's code is structured, which isn't going to happen immediately.
