no end of turn file

[Menschenfresser]

Posted at GS, but was referred here by El Cid (thanks).

I'm also not getting an end .sal when finishing a PBEM turn. FitE. We started before the new patch. Patched around T10. Running XP SP2.

I believe with new games I've started I do get an end save.

Any news on this issue?

Hi Zac,

Yes, unfortunately, that was an issue with the beta patch. Any games started with it will not produce the end of turn SAL files, even after patching to the official 3.2.29.27. All PBEM games started with the official patch will generate the file. Sorry, but odds are, the games in progress will be finished before the next patch comes out, and it would create potentially more problems to try and institute a retroactive fix for those dwindling number of games. Sorry.

No big deal.

It wasn't started with the beta patch. It was started with the previous official release. Unless Dicke B had the beta installed. I never asked. But I'm playing the Axis, so the original file came from me. *shrugs*

Thanks for the clarification.

So there is going to be a next patch? What changes will we be expecting?

I have been running more tests.

It seems that if a re-open a previous turn, and replay it, it will create the END OF TURN FILE.

Why, I do not know. But it may be a clue to solving the issue.

I'm in Zac's boat, the scenarios started looooooooooooooong before the beta patch and both myself and my opponents are patched up to the official patch, and now I'm not getting end of tur files. However, on scenarios started since the patch I do get the END_OF_TURN saves.
 
If you save and reload do you get the END_OF_TURN files consistently afterwards, El Cid?

It is not really save and reload. It is re-starting a turn.

Open the PBL file your oponnent sent you. Then close (ofcourse it will ask to save it, but you can ignore this saved file).

Re-open the PBL file your opponent has sent you, and this time play the turn. Your opponent will get a "1 reload message", but I think you will get the END_OF_TURN file.

I haven´t done this myself, but what I have seen is that (now I am on turn 15) if I open turn 10 (a turn that was played after the last patch) and replay it, to try to see how things could have been done differently, I will get the END_OF_TURN file, that I did not get when I initially played that turn.

That's curious, I was in the Beginners tournament over on gamesquad ( and got soundly trounced by MurphStein I might add) and started with the Beta patch and didn't have any .SAL fiels, but as soon as i loaded the final patch, I began getting end of turn .SAL's generated.

I think my problem is that I did not play any turns with the beta patch.

Thank Cid. I am going to try this.
