I am getting really fed up... server problems.

Yep, thanks for your replys Ich. One thing I just discovered though is that there's no difference between logging into your own server and hitting the "play existing game" button. When you end your turn offline, since the game is in the same folder, it registers on the server.

Get what I'm saying? So I'm just going to "play existing game" instead of connect to my own server via "network."

Oh, is the server on the same computer? Using the same Dominions directory?

If so, I suspect you can avoid this issue just by having another copy of dominions (simply copy the whole directory), and call it "Dom3Server" or something. Then always run the server from that directory, and play your games from the original one. I think it will then show normal behaviour.

Llamabeast, you came a bit late into the discussion and have come to a wrong conclusion. The original problem was because I was using two different directories. Thus your suggestion would actually cause the problem again.

Make sure you turn off quickhost when you do your turn though.

If you save your game on the server with your turn halfway done (even without clicking 'end turn') and all other players have submitted their turn, and it's on quickhost, then the game will host.

Yes, that was what I meant when I said you should "play your game locally". I didn't have the game window nearby when I wrote that so I didn't know what the correct name for it was, but "Play existing game" is exactly what you should do.

Ah, apologies for that, I skim-read.
