Re: Yugoslavia on the side of Axis in 1940

I am still puzzled by what just did happen in Spain.

You just made a failed attempt to bully Spain and you got Spain in your side ? That sounds crazy.

If I read the turn report you posted, it says :
USA attempts to politically bully Spain
Relation between the two countries deteriorate...

Re: Yugoslavia on the side of Axis in 1940

Hello, I am the supposed bad guy here but let me clarify some things :

Most of my previous games were "diplomacy on" so when I created this one, I did not pay attention and did not change the settings, diplomacy was "on" by default. Nothing sneaky so please, don't draw hasty conclusions.

Then I ...

Re: Submarines as bodyguards

The loop problem could be a game killer.
One of my opponents did it to me, I respectfully asked him to remove the sub from the loops and hopefully he agreed.

I think this must be addressed somehow in further update.

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

I understand that Mac users are quite a niche market, making any development effort less than profitable.

Therefore, I purchased a windows 11 laptop, mostly for the purpose of playing Warplan. Had to lie to wife, but as I keep my bluffing frequency very low, this one got through ;)

After about 2 ...

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

I did finally put my hands on a windows laptop, installed Warplan and upgraded to v1.00.25.

Somehow the game works fine and upload turns smoothly, even without fine tuning firewall rules (at least for one day).

I am still interested on a solution to play Warplan on a Mac / windows 11 virtual ...

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

Indeed, it is a possibility.

I am still trying to understand why the game worked fine for a while, then failed, then worked again, then failed again to upload end of turn files... all other thing being quite unchanged.

I will try to get access to a windows PC ASAP, install Warplan and try to ...

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

I am playing on windows 11 with parallels for Mac OS. Mac firewall is shut down, BTW.

I don't have any anti-virus softwares other than the windows 11's firewall.

Warplan is not steamed version but regular Matrix latest update (1.00.25).

I did double check the inbound and outbound rules as you ...

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

Stuck upon ending turns, it goes to "logging successful" then freeze.

I can play turns but not upload at the end.

Fixed once with your firewall settings but after 3 days, it is impossible to get the game going.

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

Sorry to bother you again but the game worked fine for 3 days and, without changing anything, the "upload bug" is back again.

I did reset firewall settings, add new rules to the firewall to allow Warplan inbound and outbound but the whole thing remains unsuccessful.

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

Resumed both games but oddly, I don't receive the e-mail notification when it's my turn to play.

Checked the obvious spam box.

Not sure if that's somehow connected to the firewall issue. Should not.

Thanks for your support, Alvaro.

There are 2 player logs (I guess one for each game ?).

Player :

Re: End of PBEM turn / server issue

The reason I think it might be a server issue is that my games worked absolutely fine for like 30ish turn, then I had this upload issue for 2 days, then it worked again for like 10 turns, then it failed again (until now).

During this whole process, I didn't change a single thing.

Moreover, I just ...

Same problem again, unable to complete turn and upload. I guess that will work tomorrow...

I am playing on a Mac with Parallels 17 (windows virtual machine), so my computer must be doing other stuff quite permanently. Not supposed to be an issue. And BTW, I did shut down windows firewall, just in ...

End of PBEM turn / server issue

Upon ending my turn in a PBEM game, the "logging successful" message appears then nothing happens.

Not able to go back to multiplayer menu, game turn is not sent and I have to close Warplan as it kind of freezes.

Anybody encountered the same issue (as of June 14th noon GMT) ?

Re: Mac and Linux Support

Dear Mac users,

Following a very annoying bug on Warplan playing under Crossover 21.1 (game is granting one research point to every nations, every turns), I am in the process of transitioning to Parallels 17.1.1.

Currently on a 14 day trial version, I installed Windows 11 on my MBP and (almost ...

Re: Too much research

Tried and failed... under CrossOver.

Besides, I installed Parallels Desktop with Windows 11 on my Mac and re-installed Warplan under this set-up.
Finally the "bug" is gone and research points earned are back to normal (zero points most of the time).

Well, I guess I need to say CrossOver bye-bye ...

Re: Too much research

Just updated to v1.00.16.1 full of hope and started a hotseat game... unfortunately, every nation gets a research point every turn. The "bug" if I may call it that way is still there.

Don't know what to do next ?

Re: Too much research

The "bug" was not there while playing under v1.00.16, it came with v1.00.17... let's hope it will be gone with v1.00.18
