Default Re: TEST!

It appears that it counts your turn even if you save game and quit. My suggestion would be to connect to the server to download the turn, then exit out of the server instead of issuing any turn orders, do your turn out of the server, then reconnect to the server to upload your now completed turn. That way you can finish the turn at your leisure instead of leaving it half done. You have to remember to hit save game and quit instead of end turn though when you are doing your turn out of the server.

Next question: I was under the impression it wasn't suppost to work this way. Think this is a bug or a problem with the Server? Any expereinced players want to confirm how it is "suppost" to work?

The dialog on "save and quit" when you're connected to a server indicates that it is certainly not working as intended. I'm guessing it's a game bug, but if anyone is playing a game on another server give us a quick check if you would.

That would be very helpful, if someone could replicate this test on another server.

After some testing (thanks LCH) it has been determined that when you "save and quit" the game DOES mark your turn as completed. If you "Quit without saving" it will not. So keep that in mind FYI. If this is a bug or not is debatable, but it seems to be reproducible on other servers.

Soooooo.... because of this quickhost will be disabled again today for R'lyeh to get home and finish their move.

Thanks for your patience people.

Yeah the game says that it will not upload the 2h if you just save and quit. It then goes back to the screen with all the flags and it says you have completed your turn.

I think they should at least change the "will not upload" message you get if this is the intended behavior.

Oh well as Ramshead suggested I will just disconnect from the server until I have actually finished my turn and then just reconnect to upload.

Thanks guys.

Default C\'Tis

I will be out of town Thursday - Monday. I believe that Jurri will be filling in for me. Anyone looking for diplomacy with C'Tis should contact him or wait until I return. Thanks.

Default Having trouble

I can't seem to connect for some reason. Did the server change?

I'm trying at 67.66.187.69, port 5555, but no luck.
