Multiplayer save games and updates

[comsolut]

I thought we had a representation that updates would not effect saved multiplayer server games but my opponent has informed me the update has wiped all the units in production?

Developer please respond!

[gwgardner]

Not to gainsay what your opponent reported, but my experience: I did the update, then played a PBEM turn, no problem with the production queue. I deployed units from the queue, and saw others there for later deployment.

[comsolut]

I have no reason to doubt my opponent. Sent him this message and will wait to hear more from the forum tomorrow.

Alright, will try a few more turns tomorrow, but I'm very skeptical now about the game if updates are going to break things. Kind of wish I waited to purchase now, always too trusting the next game will be different, and should just learn to wait a year.

Oh well.

Till tomorrow.

Happy Halloween.

Same problem here. Is in our pbem game gwgardner. I'll wait to make the turn until the developer says something...

I am that opponent.

For some reason the update to 02 caused all the default units (the sub, Para unit and Bismark) along with all my purchased units to be removed (erased/deleted) from the Deployment screen.

This happens also in games vs AI. Apparently only the Axis queue is affected.

[comsolut]

Please no, I have two AI games going right now [:@]

It happened to both me (Axis) and my opponent (Allied) in a multiplayer game - we both now have the "No units to deploy" message.
We just chocked it up to growing-pains with a new game.

I really am not sure why. The queues weren't touched. I'll look into it.

Very weird. If someone wants to pm me an ai game save.

So I am guessing it's best not to update if you have ongoing games. I hope my opponents have not done so. This is one of my pet peeve's, games wrecked due to updates.

This deployment bug only seems to affect the French and Germans. I am not seeing it affecting the other major powers.

My initial enthusiasm has definitely been jolted back to reality.

I'm constantly reminding myself it's just a game. But then also think I sunk time and money into being disappointed again.

It's hard not to become cynical. [&:]

Over the years I have learnt not to ever update immediately. Wait a few days to see what happens is the best course. I am not worried about he money, it's a cool game. So I am in. But the time wasted if a PBEM gets wrecked. That's a killer. One of my games is safe, neither of us have updated. Hopefully the other is ok as well.
