TOAW4 unexpectedly exits when starting and canceling PBEM scenario
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2017 3:51 am
I'm not sure if this is by design or not:
When I open a new scenario in PBEM mode, I'm prompted for my password in two dialogs. I click Exit in the 1st dialog, and again "Cancel and exit" in the 2nd dialog, as in the screenshot. TOAW4 instantly completely exits. I must restart TOAW4. I didn't expect that to happen.
I can imagine this is by design because it says Cancel and exit. But from my perspective, I started PBEM just by mistake -- I wanted to start human vs. computer but did not notice the Play Mode button was in PBEM when I opened the scenario. When I click Cancel here, I would expect that TOAW4 brings me back to the Main menu or the New game menu. So, Cancel and exit game, not Cancel and exit TOAW4. Is that possible if this is not by design?
