Multiplayer Problem

[vbeyer]

My opponent moves and I get a "Desycronysed. Illigal move from previouse game version"
I guess that is the point where other games I played hanged without warning in the previous version.

But what todo now? We have more than 140 Turns, so I won't like to resgin.

Hi there vbeyer!

I am sorry that you are experiencing issues. There seems to be a problem in Multiplayer games, regarding Breakthrough and Undo functions. They don't work as intended together and this is why they cause desynchronizations. I just managed to fix this in our code, but it will take a while until we will be able to upload new builds.

I understand you don't want to lose the match and there is one solution that I can provide you and let's hope it works. I can revert your opponent moves, so he has to do them again. In patch 1.06 we have changed some movement rules as they were not 100% according to the manual, so this will work only if your last move respected the manual rules. And one more thing, this will work only if your opponent will perform the breakthrough without using any Undo.

So, are you able to reach your opponent and inform him of this?

Hi,

I had only contact over the game chat, but I think as we are in the middle of the game he would like to redo his turn so we can go on.

Since this is the only solution for this, let me know your PBEM name, your opponent's name and the last move time of your game. This is so I can see exactly which game we are talking about here.

Is it vbeyer vs heinlager, and the last change date has 21:35 at the end?

Thanks!

[vbeyer]

Hi,

yes thats the game.

Thanks in advance!

[manthril]

No worries vbeyer! It is heinlager turn's again now. I hope this fixes your issue as this is the only solution we have. I am working on the next patch right now, and you should have this fixed in the future.

I have 1 question, though. Was the game stuck when your opponent tried to make a breakthrough move?

[vbeyer]

Yes, it was a breakthrough move. I had this issue in some other games. Just some trurns after so start, so I did resign...

I'll hope heinlager is still awake in new zealand and we can move on

[manthril]

Thanks a lot for your feedback and understanding, vbeyer! The issue with breakthrough has been fixed yesterday in our version. We will update the game as soon as possible so that you can play your online games peacefully.

[manthril]

I am sorry that you are having issues.

We already fixed all the problems that were reported by the community. As I said in other posts, it will take a while to make the new version available for everyone.
