Game stopping bug during Setup

Post by AdmiralFatcat »

I'm playing a game of GW with Timian and we keep getting completely stopped after German setup. We can click OK for Initiative and Weather. The next screen says: Sep/Oct 1939 Axis#1 DOW: US Entry
Nothing happens at that point. The Next Phase is gray instead of green and no other screen opens. We have tried everything we know to get by it but no joy. We have done the complete setup twice. This bug has us complete stopped before we even get to play the first turn. Help!

I need more information to understand what is happening.

Version of the program, Mode of Play, and selected Optional rules to start.

But posting a copy of the saved game would answer all my questions; say right after German Setup is done but before clicking on the End of Phase button.

Save the game at that point. Zip the resulting GAM file (so it is a ZIP file) and then attach it to a post in this thread. That will let me download your game and try to reproduce the problem you encountered.

Unless this is on NetPlay, in which case you'll need to post both player's saves. Timian knows the drill.

Sorry thought Ken (AdmiralFatcat) had attached a zipped file / We're playing with v2.6.1 / "Hot Seat" (is the Mode of Play) / Will send a Screen Shot of the Special Rules we're using in the next post . . . Don.

P.S. Very much appreciate the help Steve . . .
