ORIGINAL: Sneer

it doesn't relate to date
game doesn't recognize that date should be changed for next so you are stuck into same day forever

Hi, I've seen that but it has nothing to do with WITP it has to do with a setting on your computer regarding files being written when another file already has the same name.
I always use 2 slots for every game and alternate them (so i always have the last turn if I have a problem) when you get stuck save the file into an empty slot. If it saves there then this save file setting has somehow been changed. (Perhaps a person more computer knowledgable can explain it correctly) It is a file protection setting that somehow was turned on.

the only working rule is to go back 2 full days back - already tested but ....
sometimes day ago turn was critical and that is problem - this time we had chunging assault diffrence and my 5 DDs - little to much to go with it


below LSD-3 Carter Hall - it is assumed to be sunk after 4 torpedos hit last turn

Hi, sneer open your WITP save folder and center screen over the file you are saving game into. Now take a screen shot and post it.

(You are using windows XP? You make all turns on same computer?)(which player does "loop" begin on? (Need Raver to post a screen shot as well)

If you have the email with the bad turns attached send them to me.

Well, the Allies have taken back a little territory, but I think they paid a higher price than it was worth. How man ships are confirmed sunk?

6 or 7
from memory
LST
LSD
2LCI
AP
DD
maybe sth else - LCI or LST
at least 1 AP should be in difficulties
bad weather prevented destroying whole TF

Hi, OK I think your loop problem is Ravers computer. He saves after orders but it does not write so he send back the turn you sent. we need a screen shot of his save file.  (open save folder center on save file and take and post screen shot. what slot are you saving into?

8/25/43

as always lots of busting done by allied planes
good news I feel reinforced enough to fight for timor
