Lack of Info in Terminating Game

Post by kennonlightfoot »

I received a "WarPlan Game Over (Europe 1939)" message.

The problem is the complete lack of information on what game and why it ended.
I assume that the game that disappeared from my active list was it and the opponent resigned.
But I think the system needs to generate a little better message than the scenario name. Also, the message says I can view the final turn which I can't. It also says "Turns: 1" which isn't correct if it is the game I was playing since it was on the July 8, 1944 turn. Here is the text of the message:

Dear Player

The following game has completed

Battle: Europe 1939
Turns: 1

This game is now complete but you can view a playback of the final turn by running WarPlan and clicking Multiplayer. Select this game from the list of current games and click Play.

It didn't let you see the game's final turn? It should.
Tough working with the Matrix multiplayer software. Takes a lot of time to get it right. I went through hell setting it up. Always hard when it is not your own code.

I'll see what I can do.

I haven't played WP multiplayer but other Matrix games when finished are under the completed tab and you can load the last turn from there to view what happened.
