PBEM - accidentally chosing the wrong nation

Post by aprezto »

Hi;

If you accidentally choose the wrong nation when loading a PBEM turn and then subsequently choose 'cancel' to take you back to the main menu screen, any subsequent attempts to open the PBEM turn fail. The loading screen gets to full load and then never opens the game.

To make it a bit more transperent:

1. Open PBEM game
2. choose wrong nation accidentally
3. Choose 'cancel' at the password screen
4. Game drops back to menu screen
5. open PBEM game again
6. Choose correct nation.
7. enter password
8. game loads - loading worm gets to full extension, but turn never opens.

Remedy is to restart the game, but this seems a bit drastic.

HiHi

Ditto, if you enter wrong password or choose wrong nation the only option is to exit and restart.

Another irritating thing is when trying to look at past turns via 'Open' from within a game, say as England, as often as not it will come up with the previous turn screen for another nation, usually france.

All the Best
Peter
