Game replaying old turns

Post by Gilgawath1 »

Hi all

Information requested

Playing a Scen 15 game (original version 1.801) forthe first two week s of the conflict everything has been running ok, now (dec 22nd 1941) turns keep re-appearing.

Ie my opponent sends me the 001 and 999 (game file) for dec 21 I send him back 999 for runing 22nd dec and expect to receive back the 001 for dec 22. But I have been receiveing dec 21 001 file and 999 file. When my opponent resends the same file. it runs dec 22 001 file and 999 file.

Thought nothing of it until the same thing happened the next turn. Dec 22nd send again.

Do we have a proplem (bug) or are we doing something wrong?

Try saving to another slot.

Windows sometimes will not overrite the save game file in the slot requested but instead will create a duplicate. example - Game saved in slot 20 gamesave20.pws.

Instead of overwriting this file when you drag the file to the destination folder it will create a duplicate
(gamesave20(1).pws)

the WitP game will not recognize or "see" the above file leaving you to load an older, previous save in that same slot.

Yeah Sneer and I have been having this problem also, simply save to a different slot each time and you'll be ok.
