Hi,ORIGINAL: macroman247
I feel as if I am 95% of the way there and just can't get to 100%. I might have a unique situation that is causing the problem. I own SE via Steam and want to play with my wife. Her on a laptop, me on another laptop. We only have the one Steam account and we can run SE just fine concurrently on the laptops...it just kicks the other person off Steam when you launch a second instance of SE, no biggie though...game doesn't close out.
I created 2 accounts on the site and each laptop is logged in and synced. Token is fine, no errors in log. I create the game and validate/activate it. Refresh list, both laptops can see the name of the game. I then start a new game in SE with our preferred setup. 2 human players, no saves during turn, password/pbem option ticked etc etc. Game starts, I set my password and take the turn. When I end the turn, the screen goes back to where you normally see the Player 1/2 it is your turn, login, save/quit yadda yadda...except it is just blank. I have the GUI of SE with the background and the X in the upper right, but that's it. I'm not sure where I have gone wrong here.
Update: I've mostly gotten past the issue with the blank screen. I can move the mouse over where the buttons should be and it causes them to appear. It's worth noting I do not have this issue in regular games and it happened on both laptops. Unfortunately, I'm still not quite able to get it working. I can now Save/Quit after Turn 1 and overwrite the overwrite me save file. It just doesn't seem to pass that file to the other laptop though (by means of downloading from the server). I have the game selected in the dropdown (still no error in log either) but there is no file for me to load.
If you are using the normal save directory that steam syncs to save the file, it is possible that is causing the weird file issue. Steam can modify files in this folder and the client may be confused by this. It does look like your round 1 turn 1 file uploaded to the server ok, and it is 1.8mb in size which is what I would expect, so maybe steam is restoring the blank file at some point? Maybe try to use another folder for the save files and see if that fixes it.
In the meantime I will try to reproduce the problem and see what I can do.
There have been minor gui issues reported to me from other people, although yours seems to be different and worse.
It seems that the graphical interface library I am using does not display consistently for people in windows - it works fine on my linux machines. I cannot really debug this or reproduce the issue because I don't have windows 10, and I only have a virtual copy of windows 7 to build it.
My solution to this is to re-write it to use a different library. This may take a little while so please be patient.
Thanks for posting I will keep working on it.
