PBEM server communication error

Hello - a couple of times this afternoon I've had PBEM server communication error appear when trying to submit a complete turn... anyone else have this? One of them was a pretty immense turn, as well...

I'm also having some intermittent DNS problems - so might well just be my ISP?

Just happened to me after an immense turn of SC-WaW :-(
I looks like my internet connection died on me and then came back after I tried to upload the game...so I lost the whole turn. What a bummer. I do have internet connection issues from time to time.

so do I but yesterday was pretty persistent. However after looking at sites that tell you what ISPs are down, turns out mine was having big problems, so it's almost certainly not the game or the Slitherine system on this occasion.

Yes. Me too. Did my turn and the server failed and I lost the moves. :(

Hello,

I also have this type of problem from time to time when I pass my turn. I often use Excel at the same time as SOE and I suspect [8|]that SOE is in conflict with Excel. the problem is not very serious as long as by closing the other programs the SOE backup is working properly.

hopefully this can help[:)]

Is anyone working on the correction to this? I still can't submit a turn. :(

Thanks Gilles, however this is likely something else from a PBEM++ server error and not likely that Excel is interfering... has this happened to you before the latest patch?
