Board Game Arena

Hello all,

I have a premium account and would love to open some tables to play this game. How come that nobody is joining? I haven't been able to open a table in months unless I invite someone. What can I do? 1

What settings are you using? I took a look a saw a bunch of tables close in the 30s I was watching.

i use the most open settings and all maps without A and 0 (peaceful mode on).

It is impossible to play this game now for technical reasons. Thank you.

This is what it says also and map pack 1 is disabled by bga

There are details in this thread.

Your game options preferences for Ark Nova are invalid. You should check or reset them

Also this now

ow:

Thank you for the thread link, ill look into it. I just hope to finally play or open a turn based table of this great game. Its not THE reason why im premium member (ive been for longer time) but it is ONE of my reasons Not being able to play this is kinda meh haha

edit: i tried with other settings but:

Your game options preferences for Ark Nova are invalid. You should check or reset them.



can someone tell me the specific settings they are using?

Check any recently finished game.

I have no idea why this would happen. I've used various combinations of settings without issue.

Primarily,

Competitive level "Same map for all players"

peaceful mode "disabled"

map pack 1 "disabled" (we have a choice here. Which is annoying. )

Map pack 2 "Enabled"

Player's map "Random"

Alternative Maps "Enabled" (again, no choice.)

Expansion "Marine Worlds" (Though playing without should not cause any issue.)

If you are playing Solo mode, maps 9 and 10 are disabled, and I think they are disabled in pvp games too if players are using different maps.


I'm not sure why map 9 is disabled.
