HiHi

For Support, so you know what’s been suggested/tried, everybody’s on v1-10-10

I am the Reb opponent, this happened with another opponent again me as Rebs, They set the game up and send files to me (unzipped), I do the turn ‘End Game’ and return the correct files to them, the svd file works OK, but neither of them have a replay. They return files and my CSA replay works fine, so the problem would seem to be their end.

Hope this helps.

All the Best
Peter

HiHi

Yer my other oponant had the same problem, I have C&Ped my suggestion to him below, but 1st check through Windows Explorer that there is a USArep file, then maybe as below in blue.

I have attached a zip file of last turn for you. If all else fails and you want too, wipe what you have and use the zip file to start this turn again, By the by you do open up from inside FoF yes? Dunno for sure but it may cause failure trying to open from the original download

First off, I have sent the files open & zipped, before you download them can I suggest if you have any PBEM game files that are not in use, use Widows explorer and deleat them, I have just saved 230mb by doing so, also from my experiance FoF is a bit scrappy where it puts the file so clearing old game files clears some of the wood. Now the numbering system PBEM uses gets slightly out of order eg the file I have just downloaded from you came in as ...CSArep 0, ...CSAsve 1 so it maybe that you have last turns .rep file but out of sync with the file you used to open the game, just a thought.

Aaaanyhow try it again this turn, if still no sign of a ... USArep file try opening the zipped one, it's one file but carries both rep & sve files ... well it has in the past!
Hope this helps, if not, fraid you will have to try FoF support MB at Matrix, here is the link

i think i know where is the problem now. He was sending me a .rep file, and the file i need is the "north_vs_south_replay.sve".
