PBEM Issues

DRG · #1 March 22nd, 2007, 04:46 PM

What i think is your game files were corrupted somehow in the early stages. This isn't common or we'd have dozens of reports per week about this. When you load it what are the stats for Load / Save / Fails that you see for P1 and P2 ?

I'm not prepared to discuss the hows and whys of how the game knows what system it's loaded into.

Don:

I�m attaching a screenshot showing the requested info from the turn attached to my first post. If you need further info and/or files please let me now.Regarding the multiple loading issue, did the files worked on your system?

I completly understand you can�t discuss that kind of info.

What turn does the game say it's playing ?

Something has been seriously corrupted. According to that screen shot you've opened the game 23 times and exited 22 which would put you at the start of the 23rd turn but player 2 has only played 9 turns which is "impossible"

The bottom line is this is not normal at all and I've never seen anything quite like it.

Don:

It was turn 14th.

I agree, something is wrong, though we played the entire game withouth any other problem. Keep in mind that�s a file recieved from my opponent, I can�t tell if it�s my system or his. Any ideas what might be wrong?

No. None. Other than you've had a corrupted .Dat file somehow.

However, we have run some tests that duplicate in many ways what has happened and although I think we have a good idea what's gone on we are still investigating.

Don: attached is a zip with two files (turns 6 and 10) from the same PBEM, in turn 6 you can see my akatsya�s cluster munitions firing but you don�t see shells landing, it happens with CM only. You can observe the same issues reported in the first post being a different game.

At the end of turn 10 there�s an air attack from my oponent, note that during the attack (particulary with the AC130 I believe) the FOW flips so you can see the position of enemy forces and you see yours through enemy sight. I have the complete set of files in case you require more

1] Somebody had "fast arty" ON

2] It happens sometimes but it's rare.
