Default Re: Late game news

OS and different versions of Dominions on the host computer and the players has nothing to do with it. It may have had a role in other replay issues, but never in one that i was a party to.

In fact, in Alpaca, Llamabeast did an extensive examination to try to discover the cause of the replay bug as it affected him in that game, but to no avail. And he eliminated such things as different versions and os.

The problem lies elsewhere. But it used to be exceedingly rare. I have had long games go by and never had it occur even one time. To see it happen twice in a row, then see it on the manatee thread also, makes me worry a bit about the new patch having triggered something.

BTW, of course i use windows. windows xp to be precise.
