Game ends abruptly

When playing Multi-player games, scenarios will end at incorrect times. One side gets a message that it has not fulfilled the ViConds and has lost. He is then kicked from the game even though there is plenty of time remaining.

This has happend in both PlayersDB scens and DB2k scens. Frans and Stalin played Oil on the Fire for 1:10 before Stalin was kicked. This scenario has a duration of 48 hrs.

Mark Admiral and I played EurAL01 for 0:42 before the bug kicked in. Also, in another session, we got to 1:42 before the bug ended the game. As EurAL, I was told that I had not fulfilled my sole ViCond for destroying 11 ships. This scenario has a duration of 4 days.

This is a game-kiling bug that does not appear in Solitaire play.

I can confirm this has happened in two games that I have played. Also both PlayersDB and DB2k.

I played Oil in the Fire (PlayersDB) and Euroalliance battleset scen 01 (DB2k)

Euroalliance experienced this a few hours into the scenario

Oil in the Fire experienced this about 2 hours into the scenario. viCond prevent 5 oil rigs from being damaged.

This is ONLY in MP, this does not happen in solitare, I have played these scenarios in solitare without an issue.

I am running version 3.7.1.0. With the latest (not beta) versions of DB2k and PlayersDB.

We have not yet tried to play with any other databases on MP thus far.

It is possible to reload the save the last player left in could capture, but every 5 minutes the viConds kick in and blow one player out of the session.

Thanks

Yep....too bad because we really enjoyed our first multi-player game together until this happened.[:@].
Hope that this bug or error will be fixed soon!
