Help

Post by pjg100 »

Could someone please explain to me how to access a pbem game? Likely a silly question, I must be overlooking something very basic. When I open the game on my PC the list on the left side of the interface includes "PBEM++ ONLINE." I open that link and a window that includes "OPEN CHALLENGES," "MY CHALLENGES" and "MY GAMES" opens up. Under "OPEN CHALLENGES," I see only two, both of the WW3 mod. Under "MY CHALLENGES," I see a game that I opted to host that no one has joined. I have a password for a game hosted by another player, but see no field in which to enter it or attempt to join that game. If someone could help me out here I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Hello pjg100, not silly at all, this has happened to almost everybody, I think. What you are describing usually happens when you have a version of the game installed that most people don't use. Did you install the beta version? On the initial screen, after the intro, take a look down and to the right, it says which version you are playing. Most everybody is playing 1.12 and not the betas. You need to have the same version to see other games in the lobby. Perhaps you checked the option to install betas? You will have to reinstall and get 1.12, in Steam is very easy to install and reinstall. Hope this helps!
