Game crashed on turn 30

[Ironclad]

Did it on end turn after all my (CSA) moves. Tried again - crashed in same place. I'm on 1.06 but my opponent may be on 1.05 or was at the start. The game is YogMan2Y(1.05) Manassas 2 player.

then you both already have the answer, both need to start and finish on the same version, if one or both updates then it can or could cause errors or crashes it's been reported

tm.asp?m=3854237

if both use the same version, from start to finish, and still get the same error, then it's or could be a bug, but if one or both upgraded mid match, then it's more likely a issue with that, but the developers will give a better more correct reply than mine soon enough.

or some advice to if it can be played on if both on the same version now, which i have no idea of tbh i'm sorry to say[:(]

edited spelling again and didn't make much sense even to me and i typed it[&o]

I'm sure that I read a comment from Eric that a crash because of incompatability was unlikely with 1.05 and 1.06 because of the nature of the changes in the latter. Also would the game have lasted for 30 turns if the two patches were incompatible?

[zakblood]

if you changed at a certain point? that's the question that the developers will have to ask and find out for you, and good luck as i hope you can play on.

and 30 turns weren't on the same or different version, as you implied one or both changed part way through

I'm on 1.06 but my opponent may be on 1.05 or was at the start

so while it may have made no difference, it may have, so save from both maybe the best bet etc, either way hope it gets sorted for you

Well Eric said it shouldn't matter for 1.06. Add to that we have played multiple turns since you went to 1.06 without issue. I've seen and read too many problems on too many games about loading beta patches. I stay with the most recent official patch until another official one comes out. (not counting beta testing games before release of course)

added: Game started on 1.05 and name of game included 1.05 in it

Tried for third time - crashed same place; end turn. Just for clarification we have been playing with mismatched versions (1.05 and 1.06) since the start, when I saw the game title with 1.05 I sent an ingame message stating I was on 1.06 beta.

Yes you did but it was worth a try anyway and as mentioned it was not expected that 1/06 would cause a pbem failure. I think that some of the crashes that are happening have more to do with the Slitherine pbem system than our version numbers. I have noticed complaints about game crashes on other games over at the Slitherine forums as well. So not only may it not have anything to do with the version, it may have little or nothing to do with BAB either.

[Ironclad]

I agree it was well worth it especially as 1.06 hasn't that many changes and are pbem focused anyway plus the incompatability seemed less likely. As for the server it works very well for Pike and Shot and FOG games, but they are now well established.

Hopefully 1.06 will soon become an authorised version and my preference is not to run two different versions on my system.

[Ironclad]

Tried yet again - this time after installing 1.05 but same result, crashed on End Turn.

Sorry to hear about the crash. Which game is this? I can check it out on the server.

YogMan2Y(1.05) 1st Manassas 2 player only

Ironclad also switched to 1.05 still crashed although since the entire game had been played with me on 1.05 and him on 1.06 that probably wasn't the problem anyway

[ericbabe]

Thanks. The save game on the server looks alright and I was able to load it seemingly without any problems. Would you mind sending me the login name, password, and serial number for Ironclad by email at ericbabe@west-civ.com? I'll see whether I can duplicate your issue when loading the file from within the game.
