I log in to my nation, none of my actions were saved. This happened twice now and I am just so freaking pissed off right now on how much time I spent thinking of all the things I need to do.
Quite a predicament: CLIENT wants to upload the 2h file. SERVER accepts the connection and awaits the data from CLIENT. CLIENT starts sending the data, which SERVER writes to its savegame directory. But uhoh, the file that CLIENT wants to send and SERVER wants to overwrite are the same! In case the file is read in chunks one can see that this easily leads to trouble, I don't know how it looks it in reality. If the client would read the whole contents out of the file before sending it over then it might work. I think that for the trn file the client never actually asks the server to download it, since they're the same, so it's always at the latest version and the client doesn't bother to download it.

Edit: Oh great, now that I deleted c'tis 2h and trn files it looks like I can no longer take my turn alltogether. Any help?
No wonder. Those files are essential for your game. The 2h file for your orders - deleting this will let you stale. The trn file is the game state - deleting this will let you stale aswell, I'd expect. If you deleted them then you'll have to host the game so that the server generates new ones.
