<r> Hi Hubert,<br/>
<br/>
I tried logging into the PBEM server to take my turns in the current tournament and I received the following error message. The game immediately crashes afterward. Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance!<br/>

Hi Hubert,

Thanks! -- Dave

<t> Hi Hubert,<br/>
<br/>
I am experiencing the same issue. I tried downloading the file at the link you provided above, but I cannot get the file to start downloading... it just keeps saying "preparing download" or some message like that but no download option ever appears. Can you tell me if I ...

Almost 24 hours and the server is still down. Any news or progress on a fix?

Confirming PBEM isn't working in the US.

Terminator: Thank you! I had the correct patch downloaded but typed the wrong one [X(]

<t> I just upgraded to the latest patch for OoB (7.1.4). After I launch the game, I cannot move the mouse to the right or bottom of the screen. I am playing the game in full screen mode, so this means I can't click any of the buttons. I can move the mouse to the top and left of my screen. Any ideas ...

Okay, thanks for the heads up zakblood. Hope it is up and running soon.

As an aside, I am trying to play the 2.0 version on my Win 8 machine, but it does not want to launch (the vanilla 1.12 version launches fine). Any ideas how I can get it to work?

I'm trying to download the GS 4.0 zip file from the members area, but I keep getting an error message. Is the upgrade still available?

Hi Hubert, that link worked, and the update fixed the problem! Thank you so much for your help and patience. Thank you for a truly awesome game! Best wishes, Dave. [&o]

Hi Hubert, thanks for the link. Unfortunately it doesn't lead me to any download, just an empty shopping cart. [&:]

Hi Hubert, thanks for the info. Unfortunately, my username does not contain any special characters (it's simply "Dave"). I tried to do a fresh install and update under my wife's user name ("Cathy") and got the same error. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what "special" Unicode characters are?

<r> Hello, when I attempt to load one of the new user-created mod campaigns, I get the following pop-up error message:<br/>

This error occurs when I try to load a mod campaign both in single-player and PBEM mode. The original campaigns load without any problems. Any idea why this is ...

Hi Hubert, I am currently having a issue with loading my PBEM game. When I attempt to open the game to take my turn, I receive the message "cannot find 8200.dat". Can you help me? Thanks!
