MultiPlayer v AI problem

Post by conboy »

The Order of Battle PBEM++ set-up for 2-players vs AI is now set where it requires 3 players, not 2. So nobody can play 2 v AI, unless I don't correctly understand this. Please to fix and set where 2 v AI works.

I initiated the game cowboy is trying to play, and have frustratingly had two other games stop me from playing by a. waiting for a third player when only 2 plus AI was required & b. telling me their is a wrong number of sides when joining as a third player. Cancelling out of these games doesn't seem to be an option either? What have I done to jinx it??

I started a thread a couple weeks back for the very same issue; no response from devs whatsoever. :(

I am having this problem as well.
I am trying to play the double dragon coop scenario but we need a 3rd player and I don't think people are able to join.

Well theres good news, the game where i joined a 2 player vs AI as the 3rd player has kicked off.
Probably not so good news for the player that thought they were playing a co-op game against an AI, who now finds it is a defence against 2 players?
I am really happy the multiplayer is playable (even if it's a little dysfunctional) on my iMac! It has been a long road from early Order of Battle Pacific days, when even single player campaigns were plagued with unexpected shut downs, to the game I now promote to my friends.

Oh so the 2 vs AI games have been changed to a 2 vs 1 game now?

Best75,
Not really, because it's not letting me upload my force deployment, so it's really 3 vs (fill in the blank). I let devs know yesterday on this forum. 2vAI used to work just fine until last v release...

I spoke too soon perhaps, the one game that somehow allowed me to deploy with two other players isn't progressing so I guess it is as busted as all the other 2P vs AI games.

Copy that best75 I did try joining your 2p vs AI scenario but got the wrong number of sides message...so weird we got one loading with 3 players. Can you deploy or not conboy?
Fixing the PBEM 2players vs AI would be great, but I suspect they have priorities ; just keeping the standard player vs player gaming happening, while the game is still growing. I would be happy if they just made more scenarios to choose from.
