PBEM Communication error

Post by taffjones »

Is the sever having problems or is it my Laptop.

I have played about 5 of my PBEM turns tonight and at the end of my turn I am getting a "communication error" and I get a black screen.

I then have to close the game via the control, alt + delete to restart the game.

Is anyone else having this problem?

taffyjones --- Yes, same here. Not a big deal though. Scroll down near the bottom, graphics will, click exit. If so, you don't need to turn off game.

Getting an "Communication error" when I try to play PBEM. Reopening the game menu doesn't help.

Keep trying. Hopefully just intermittent. Just choppy

I keep getting intermittent "Communication Error -4" as well. Pip (Matrix) suggested posting here. Usually happens after I finished a PBEM game and want to go back in for next game. Have to close game completely and restart.

Hubert,
My open challenges are all RED with two exceptions. I can't join the RED ones. The player I am trying to play with has the same issue with a game I posted.
