Default 6 players, 150 prov., early era, slightly rich

It is about this time when this game is supposed to go back on timed turns.

The turn files are corrupted

I think I can fix it by changing the name of the saved game folder but give me a bit to see if I can figure out what happened.

Okay, I was watching movies on this machine when it hosted, and media player crashed my machine.

So I restarted. There was some turn file corruption already so this might be a coincidence.

Anyway, I renamed the game 150mp2 and it should work now - you'll all download the new turn files automatically (and mine at least isn't weird) so everything should be fine.

Let me know if you notice anything strange, I still have the previous directory.

There's definitely something up with my machine, or at least with internet explorer.

Before we do anything else, can everyone check the timestamps on the .trn files you got? If they're not newer than 1:51 PM eastern time, *delete the one you have* and then reconnect.

I run these dom3 tasks in the background and I'm never sure what I have running and what I've killed - I'm doing directory carpentry and I'm trying to do this while totally tanked on flu meds, so please bear with me.

To find the files of interest (on a windows machine, if you use anything else I'll assume you're familiar):

right-click on any "dominions" shortcut.
go "properties"
go to the "shotcut" tab (at the top)
click the "find target" button (bottom-middle)
go into folder "savedgames"
go into folder "150mp2"
click on "properties"

You'll see a "date created". Check that it isn't too early.

Out of character here:

The writing is on the wall for Mictlan. My hat's off to Frank for fighting me to a standstill, turning the tide, and surging toward my capital.

It's just a matter of time for us now, I am afraid!
