Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

Have had the samr problem myself, though just once, and only for a few minutes. Doesn't seem to be worth a restart, unless it's much, much worse on your end of things.

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

I am also unable to do my turn
I was briefly able to connect, then my 3 yr old hit the disconnect button on my wireless internet,
now I can no longer connect
If we can restart, that would be helpful, it will throw off the game if some people get to do this turn, and others don't

(clarification: by restart, I mean this turn, not the entire game)

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

Y'all might want to try just reconnecting several times, if you haven't already. Network congestion, or the server being busy doing something else, with the game process swapped out of memory, might be causing intermittent 'outages'. Fifteen minutes later, it might be just fine,
while a restart will wipe out the orders anyone has uploaded already.

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

I don't think it is network congestion, etc, cause all my other games load just fine.
I have been trying to load all day, and briefly got on, then lost it, all the other times, my whole system locks up requiring a hard reboot. something is wrong with the master game file
I think it is better for some people to have to redo their turns, then for some people to lose a turn completely, which will unbalance the game.

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

Which ignores the fact that restarting the game can cause people to lose their turn. If the ones who already uploaded their turns don't know the game was restarted, they're likely to get a stale turn because they don't know they need to reconnect and upload their turn again.

I'm not saying that there isn't a need to restart the games sometimes, like now. But all too often, people start asking for the game to be restarted because they have a single failure to connect and don't even try a second or third time.

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

your point is well taken,
I finally got in, and it looks like most people have as well
if there isn't anyone having anymore trouble, I see no need to restart the turn

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

Actually, I've been having troubles getting on for the Last two nights. First with another game and now with this one. I'll keep trying, but it looks like this problem might be widespread.

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

I finally got in Last turn, only to have the same problem this turn, I can't get in
What gives? is there a corrupted file? my other games run fine.
if people continue to have trouble doing their turns, then the game is obviously trashed
maybe someone could ask Mose if he knows anything about it?
good luck, I'll keep trying

Re: MP Game - Try Something New
 

No, this is quite common on the Mosehansen server after a game has been running awhile without a restart. The fix is to restart the game, but when you do that you lose all orders submitted for the current turn.

Next time the turn runs at a time I'm awake, I'll restart it.
