[Solved] Can't launch existing PBEM++ game on the server

Post by nukkxx5058 »

Hi, I am playing a GC in MP on the server and everything was fine.
But, today I just purchased a new PC and after reinstalling the game from Steam (ie. same version) on the new PC, the solo game works without problems but I can't load my turn in the PBEM game. I can log on my account, I can select the game as usual but when I click "play" it says "Reading ..." a few times and then, nothing happens and the game won't load and I stay on the main server screen. And after that, I need to exit the whole game as everything else is frozen.

Could it be a conflict / server check noticing that I have a new PC and would block it, kind of anti-cheating thing ? Or something else ?

Any idea how to fix it ?

I really would appreciate help ..
Thank you

Could it be because I didn't install the Jison map mod yet on the new PC ? That's the only one difference between the old install and this one. Strange ...

I'm trying to install the patch 1.12.06 but it won't detect my Steam install. It says theat WITE is not installed. I can't chose the destination location ... But of course WITE is installed.

What should I do ?

Thanks

You have to install the patch through Steam. It usually happens automatically. But first you have to enable public betas under Properties.

Aaahh ! I knew I made it in the past but couldn't remember I have to edit the beta authorization in the settings !
And now it works. I'm 1.12.06 and my PBEM file can load. Problem solved. Super !

Thx Bozo !
