Error during server PBEM++ game

Post by exsonic01 »

Hello

While enjoying PBEM, I faced following error when I try to load my turn in the PBEM++

Cannot open file E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm\Modules\FPRS\Saved\FPC20.$$$
(I installed the steam in E drive)

What happened, and what should I need to do? It was very important moment of the game....

You can try going to that folder and renaming the FPC20.$$$ to FPC20.bak and reloading your turn. Let me know if that works.

Hmm but there's no such file in the saved folder.

This is PBEM++ game, which use the server. Does the game store the save files in the PC for PBEM++ game? not the server?

So there is no file? Have you tried to download the game turn again? The game will bring in that file to play the turn and then get rid of it when it sends your turn.

Nope, there is no such file in my saved folder. How can I download the game turn again? Whenever I click "play" button, it makes that crash. Do I need to ask to my opponent?

Next move would be to have your opponent resend the turn. Let's see if that works.

Hi there, I'm working on this problem now. Looking at the code, I don't see an obvious issue but I will dig into more in conjunction with the Slitherine web people over the next few days. Stay tuned!

I looked - the line "FPC20. $$$" is inside the save file of each game xxx.sav and not in the directory specified in the error.
