Save game not working in PBEM

Post by CHINCHIN »

I just started a PBEM, after changing several unit names and some movement, I save the game, everything seems correct, I change the unit file on the stage, but when I resume the game everything is as it started, I move a couple of units and save again, and when reuniting everything is as at the beginning, the changes are not saved.

Do you have to play the whole turn at once or is it a error? Maybe changing the units.png file messed something up. v1.00.25.

I'm not following what you are meaning.

You started a PBEM game, moved some units, saved to the server, loaded the game and it restarted from scratch?

Let me do some testing. Who are you playing against?

The USMC has been using the new version with no issues.

With Sveint. I don't know, everything seems fine except that. The scenario we are playing is "Europe 1939 Small Fleet 41 Winter"

This error is due to updating to 1.00.25, it never happened to me before.

PM him and make sure he is updated. The new winter script requires both sides have .25

I am testing in the morning.

The games were started by Sveint, and on the PBEMs screen with the challenges, it indicated 1.00.25. I accepted the challenge and started with the axis.

Should I try to uninstall the game and install it again?

Ok it seems to only do it on the very 1st turn. I played 1 turn against myself then I was able to save to the server and recover to continue my turn.

So I will save this odd bug for the next patch. Seems you found something new.

Oh yea now I remember. Yea you can't save the first turn due to the dynamics of the PBEM system. You need to fully play at least 1 turn.

Hello,

I just started a new game with Sveint as well. I tried to save turn one but could not. It is not a big thing but I am pretty sure I have been able to save turn 1 before this patch.

That's right, from turn 1 you can save. What happens to me now is that I don't get the emails notifying me that it's my turn. I only received the zero turn emails.

Same with me I did not get any mail when my opponent finished his turn.

The same thing happens in WPP, the changes are not saved when saving the first turn.

It's the PBEM. You have to play the 1st turn totally.
