Playing as Player 2. I setup and issued my Turn 1 orders then got this error message:



I've tried three different times and get the same error. After I tried the first time, when I've gone back to the scenario my setup and orders were saved.

And then...

BROJD, What filename was used for this scenario? Have you had any other issues in PBEM?

This is my first PBEM attempt. [&:]

No idea the filename. It was PBEM ++. I can look when I get home, but I think I just selected "Save File" or whatever under the File menu and got that error. I don't remember ever seeing a file folder.

BTW -- Is there a way to communicate via PBEM ++ with my opponent other than the little commo box at the beginning of the turn?

HM_BS Hell's Crossroad

Top of the screen says:
PBEM++ "FPRS_188379"

And get the same error.

Is there any way to communicate with my opponent through PBEMM ++?

Not that I am aware of. I will check with Rob and Erik to see if there is a solution.

Any idea what's up with this PBEM game bug?

This is something that we are working on. Some of the bugs are specific to the individual (settings, region, etc) and we are trying to isolate each one and get them fixed. They will get taken care of. We are trying to get the next patch out which we hope will fix most of the game play bugs that have been affecting certain people. The 203 patch will concentrate on the pbem++ bugs and getting them put to bed. Please be patience. Rob is working as hard as he can on these issues. He works a full time job and then puts in 4 to 6 hours every night on FPC. PBEM++ was working fairly well before the release, but some of the regional differences kinda upset the process. Not everyone is having the same problem so that make it difficult to isolate them. Some people are seem to have no problems at all.

Understood. I know y'all are working hard and I appreciate it. I guess I'm asking if I should just resign the scenario and try to restart.

Normally Rob's fixes don't kill save game files. I would hold onto what you have until we get this fix tested.

Good Hunting.

Hmmmm...

Running 2.02. Tried this again with a different PBEM ++ opponent and I got the exact same errors.
