PBW - Game Processing Failed...

Slynky · #1 February 17th, 2003, 11:53 PM

The accompanying error message didn't say much. Is anyone else having a problem (if not, it must be our game)?

Also, anyone have any ideas on how to proceed to fix it?

Thanks!

From the PBW FAQ item 3.8

3.8 - A turn didn't run successfully. What do I do now?

A good first step is to go into the Admin section and download everything necessary to run the turn and then run it on your machine to see if you can diagnose what is wrong. If that fails to clear things up, you can ask for help from the PBW admins.
If it is the first turn, there are two possibilities that should be considered. The first is a game password mismatch. If the game password is not the same as the password that PBW has for the game, it won't run. It is very easy when creating a game to forget to put in the password. If the password is wrong (and you know the correct password), the PBW admin's can assist by changing the password for the PBW server.

Thanks, geo. Of course, like lots of people, I didn't think to go to the FAQs there.

FYI, it was turn 135. So, not sure what happened. Maybe a data error on transfer? But, I'll give the info in the FAQ a try.

Tks.
