Version of the game in Multiplayer window

Post by ncc1701e »

There is no indication of the version of the game used or requested to play a challenge in the Multiplayer window.
Would it be possible to add this information?

Also, what if I am accepting a challenge with a version of the game that is not the same than the version used, by my opponent, to create the challenge. Which version of the game will be used?

The version of the game is determined on the client side only - there is no PBEM or server-side enforcement of the same version. So for example you can start the game using the latest beta patch, do a couple of things during the turn, save, revert to the latest official patch and continue the turn that way. The opponent can play his turn using a version 3 beta patches old.

There are some instances where patches cannot be rolled back to (they are too old) if you start the game using the latest official/beta patch, but those situations get special mentions in the patch notes.

Thanks, so more a player agreement before accepting the challenge. But, if the version was indicated that would avoid asking.

I agree - at times one picks up a random challenge, it is good to see on which Patch it has been created.
