Attempting to start my turn in a tournament battle presently keeps throwing errors and crashing the game. I can play fresh games no problem it seems.
After selecting the battle, it loads about 20%, then throws an error message which I'll reproduce here: "Missing TILES chunk in map file: C:/Users/(me)/AppData/Local/Temp/SKIRMISH.BAM (0)"
The application then fully crashes and throws this error: "*** Unhandled Exception! ExpCode: 0x800000003 Exp Flags: 0 ExpAddress: 0x005649BD Please Report!"

Re: Can't load tournament battle
Looks like the file has become correupted on the PBEM server. The only thing that could be done would be to roll back the game to the previous turn.
Who is your opponent, and which player is playing which side?

Re: Can't load tournament battle
Unfortunately it turns out that it isn't possible to roll back tournament games. The only thing that can be done is to manually end the game with the current scores, to prevent either side being penalised for being timed out.
This will be done with the current scores: mejobo 47, stephenhanley 77.
Apologies for the glitch.

Re: Can't load tournament battle
Can you check and see whether that file (and its path) exist? If it does, try deleting it and trying to reload your turn.

Not sure what you mean. What file?
Pet can roll back the file on non-tournament games, but he says that the PBEM system does not allow it for tournament games.

Re: Can't load tournament battle
I suspect the idea is maybe I could have deleted the file and forced it to redownload. Too late for that, though... I appreciate the effort at a fix one way or another, and if I recall correctly that fight was about over, so avoiding a time-out penalty one way or another was probably fair enough.

Apologies, I was directing the Q to the OP rather than to you.
