PBEM game problem

Hi everyone !

I'm playing game 380206 vs Custine. After playing my Axis turn this morning, the game says it's my turn again, also displays that it's tune 1 (???). And when I clicked to start this new turn, I was the Allied player (????).

Looks the same with the game vs Titan, with the display of turn 1. But I'm not able to play his turn.

Problem with the new patch ?

Thanks for your help.

Fred, aka Garush

Intriguing, maybe a side effect of this correction?

FIXED VIctory showing when loading a game after finishing one

Do you know if your opponents have installed the new patch as well? Or, are they using the old patch?

I had an error the first time I have uploaded a new PBEM as Allies. I stop and restart the game and now I can play my turn. Will see if I can upload it.

So it seems to upload. Turn is still 1 after Allies turn, should it be 2 since my Axis opponent did not play yet?
I never pay attention to this. I will wait my opponent next turn.

also it appears if you are playing small fleet, now you can't stack more then 3 in a port!

Surely a consequence of a bad fix for:
FIXED Moving large fleets port to port ****

EDIT: I will open a dedicated thread for this. I have reproduced.

Confirmed, existing PBEM games are all going to turn 1. And everything is screwed up. Andrew is describing exactly what it is confirmed in the first post.

The PBEM system has not changed. So I am not sure what happened.

The fleet thing. Yea that is me. Let me see what I can do.

This is the same issue I'm seeing (didn't see this thread until now).

It seems the PBEM system was recently broken by something?

All my code. If you don't see 1.00.181 in the main screen you don't have the update.

If the both of you have the hotfix and the game is correct give me the game ID and I will revent it back before the screw up.

Wow, thanks for the fast reply Alvaro, I can really tell you're dedicated to your game, that's amazing.

That said, I've uninstalled and reinstalled with Steam and I'm still seeing 1.00.18 here. Are you sure the Steam version you're using isn't some pre-release/beta build?

Oh, I saw that you posted a download link in the Steam forums. I got that and I now have 1.00.181. I'll test this with my friend ASAP to verify it fixes the problem. For those looking here for the fix, the link is here:

Thanks Alvaro, that is truly amazing support!

We just verified applying that patch fixes the problem. Thanks again!

Steam should have automatically updated the game when the hotfix came out.
