Armada 2526 Supernova PBEM campaigns

[Grimnirsson]

The game just checks for mail and once it has all the turns back it shows READY

I'm not so sure about that...Hiimori and I are into our first PbEM and in the beginning it was like you said. Now we have the problem that sometimes, it says 'ready' and I can load the game, sometimes there's nothing in the inbox (although the opponent did sent it and received the 'game sucessfully sent' message ingame), sometimes it says 'waiting for turn' and I can not load the game (which makes sense since there's no new turn received) and sometimes it says 'waiting for turn' but I can load the game...

OK, I have double-checked, but all your emails are entered without typo's and in the correct boxes.
I have no clue why some of you do not receive the turns...

Any ideas?

[OJsDad]

I haven't seen the game files either Yskonyn.  I did get the email welcoming me to the game.  I've checked my spam folder, and there is nothing there.

Game has been restarted.
Instead of assigning random factions I have pre-configured all players. Perhaps it makes a difference.
Please report here wether you have received the game turn or not.

Received notification email of turn?  Check! 

Received turn in my Gmail account?  Check! 

Turn actually showing up in my game...of course not.  >:( 

[Martok]

Okay, I'm starting to get really frustrated. 



I've received email notifications for all the PBEM campaigns I'm currently participating in.  The turns show up in my Gmail account.  Yet, they don't actually show up in my game. 

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game.  I've checked/reset my MP settings to make sure they're correct.  I've even manually transferred the save files to my "PBEM In Progress" folder.  But no matter what I do, none of the games I'm playing show up. 


...Except for our 4-player game that I'm hosting (OJsDad, Shelldrake, W8taminute, and myself).  That one has finally appeared for some reason. 

But why only that one?  Given that I did the exact same steps for all my PBEM games, you'd think it either would've worked for all of them, or none of them...  ???

Multiplayer games do seem to have consistent problems. I guess a patch would be too much to hope for.

Got the email with game attached

Turn received ingame and processed. The Ice Men Cometh!

[OJsDad]

The Florian Diaspora has begun!

[Yskonyn]

I have received the turns from Shelldrake, Staggerwing and OJsDad.
Martok and Jarhead are having problems still, hence the delay.

I got the turn last night but of course...it didn't load.  I'll give some time tonight to try again.  Don't know why all of the sudden this is happening but perhaps once you go past 100 turns on a PBEM game a counter in the software gets bugged somehow?

[Martok]

Oh, and before I forget, I'll be out of town this weekend.  I should be back late Sunday night.

Unfortunately, you're correct.  Ntronium has long since switched over to working on their next game.

Sorry guys.  I admit I'm kinda stumped right now.  :(

I almost wish that were the explanation, but I don't think that's it.  I've played several PBEM campaigns now (including the one I had with Shelldrake) that went over 100 turns, and there were never any real issues.

One trick I learned long ago is to delete the install folder even after an unistall.  There are times when files may be left behind that are not being overwritten when you reinstall.

[Martok]

Good suggestion; I'll give it a try.  However, it'll have to wait until after I get back from this weekend, unfortunately, as I'm not likely to have time to mess around with it between now and when I leave tomorrow morning.
