I'm the host, but not the host?

[Jimmer]

I'm the host in a tutorial-type game. I'm also playing Prussia.

When I try to change the options in the game, I get a message that says only the host can change options once the game has started. Except I AM the host.

So, how do I get around this? Is it a bug? I've only tried hosting once before, and obviously didn't run into this (or, I would have known what to do). But, I followed all of the steps right from the book (including the part where it warns you this might happen, and to avoid it, do such-and-such), but here I am: Hosting, but unable to change options.

Any ideas?

Is the option to allow changes during game enabled?
Is it the host's turn?
 
 

[Jimmer]

Yes, it's enabled.
 
No, it's not my turn. Is that it? Do I have to be in my own turn in order to change an option?

This would make sense to me seeing how the game is a IGOUGO (really only 1 person has control/token at a time). Marshall, so are you saving these changes in the host's .pbm turn file?

[Jimmer]

That would make sense (although, I don't know what "IGOUGO" means, I'm guessing it's "I go; you go").
 
I'll try that tonight. Thanks.

LOL. Hey, that's not my shortcut... I thought it belonged to the community.

Well, I can't try until a couple of powers take their turns, so not tonight. I'll let you guys know as soon as it happens.

[Jimmer]

OK, THAT wasn't the problem. It's in my copy of the game: I just tried playing a saved game (vs. all AI opponents), and it gives me the same message when I try to change options.



I've attached the saved game.



I'm still running 1.03.14 until I hear something official on whether hosting/playing a game with one player out of synch is OK.

[MarshallEllis]

Good. I will look at it.
Appreciate the help.
