All Games gone from server?????

[michaelCLARADY]

Looks like the popup screen you should get after a turn ending is launched has hung. Logged off and back on- same problem.

[Zarevic]

Same problem here!

[Nirosi]

Same here. Both my games gone and the game freezes on that screen (must turn it off from Windows). But game works fine if attempting to launch against AI.

My guess is that it is a server problem. All we can do is wait...

[michaelCLARADY]

Same observation as Nirosi. Damn and today was a totally free day.

[Lascar]

WarPlan Pacific games are still there, hopefully WarPlan games will soon be restored.

Yes WPP still works. It seems the problem is on the WPE PBEM server.

[canuckgamer]

Same here. Although I received the usual email notification, our game does not appear when I open up multiplayer. I'll try again later.

Did anyone already send an email to support@matrixgames.com?

A classic example to permit a true pbem feature rather than the server approach many of the newer games have taken

I just did.

[BrianG]

Yes my game (slaughter) with Nirosi has disappeared.

Strange, looks like the server is answering HTTP 200 to each request made. I bet for a format change. [8|]

[Kyrian]

Same here - my game is gone

We play the Combat Mission series by PBEM. The game files are saved on our PC and then we either attach it to an email or use Dropbox if it exceeds the attachment file size limit. I assume they use the PBEM through a server method to combat piracy.

Please please PLEASE don't use Matrix servers for WarPlan 2.

Did you receive an answer? I fear that Matrix offices are closed for Christmas.

The PBEM server is responding. But, the game don't understand its answer. That's why I think the PBEM answer format has been changed.

A server has also the advantage to avoid all these files manipulations.

Same for me; game suppressed yesterday

Using Wireshark, I have compared the requests made by Warplan and Warplan Pacific. Both requests are very similar. I don't see anything particular between the two answers.
Each time, the server is answering (HTTP/1.1 200 OK) with a content for both games.

One important question: is it the same PBEM server between Warplan and Warplan Pacific?
