PBeM hosting bug?
 

In our PBeM game we had a strange error while hosting. From my first experiments with the error it looks like that the size total of the .plr files must not exceed 128 Kb or the game will produce an access violation and crash while processing the turn. We are using v1.35.
Has anyone noticed anything similar?

The player files that i am getting back from my 250 system, 5 player game are only up to 30Kb.
What the F@*K are you playing, that's a huge player file.

Well, we're 11 human players, and since there have been only 1 or 2 small wars so far (turn 2407.4) we have a lot of ships, units and resources - this means a lot of orders to impart each turn and thus an increase in size of the .plr files. The 2 largest players have about 120/130 ships each (their .plr files are 39 Kb and 38 Kb).

Aussie, I think he meant the total of all the .plr files added together could nto exceed 128KB.

That's not an error I have seen and I am in severael PBEM games. I will be on the lookout for it.

...Ok, so it must be just plain old bad luck, and an error with our game files :-(

Hum now I understand!

One of the games that I am playing in with 5 players has had in total bigger than 128Kb as well, no problems.

Send the game and player files to MM for a look see at it.
