MP Turns Not Loading as Normal

[SimonLancaster]

Yesterday (Tues) and today (Wed) I didn’t have any problems loading my turns.

Having said that, the server sometimes gives this message when the turn has in fact saved correctly. In which case your completed turn will have been saved, despite the message, and the other player will get his turn as normal.

Can this be remedied? It confuses me no end, particularly when, after the message, I am thrown back into the game and it´s completely messed up.

It isn't in fact messed up, it has just reset to the position at the start of your turn - which is what gets saved, along with a list of the actions taken. The actual position at the end of your turn is reconstructed by the replay at the start of the other player's turn.

However, it would be nice if the server could refrain from sometimes sending the could not save code when it has in fact saved. I will raise the issue with the PBEM programmers.

Last time this happened (Monday), it didn´t just go back, but also removed the minimap and all buttons and made me unable to interact with the game (P&S, not FoG2) or even leave it normally. I had to close the app from the desktop.

Thank you for giving the issue a whirl.

I just took turns in two games and there was a long wait to upload the turns. Both took 1 min 40 secs. Server is sluggish today.

Opening my turn in a multiplayer game, I watched the replay of MY previous turn (which in fact was the deployment phase, after force selection) instead of the replay of the enemy's turn.
After the replay was done, I can play the enemy's turn and all of the UI is missing.

So right now I am deploying my opponent's units , it's just 5 cavalry units in an army of 1600 points. Obviously, I can't send his turn as there is no end turn button.


EDIT: FYI, after killing the process and trying again everything worked fine.

Very strange, but glad it sorted itself out.

MP server being very strange today. Playing the new tournament. I am told my move can't be uploaded to the server, but when I cancel it has been uploaded, my opponent plays their turn, then load but it loads my army without the purchased units and then adds the units one by one instead of showing me my already deployed army.

Something clearly went wrong with that upload. As you say, server issue.

I just had this happen in the Rise of Carthage tournament. I was defeated by @Sweetnees101, who is leading, but am given the warning that I am unable to load my turn. I also had this happen in a medieval game with @snugglebunnies. I have never seen this before. I think @Sweetness101 will get the credit for the win if the tourney times out, but not sure. As this effects the top bracket I want to bring it to the communities attention.

According to the tournament scoresheet, the game has officially finished (no asterisk) with a score of 86:14.

Even if it had not officially finished, and you never sent in another turn, he would still get the current score i.e. 86:14. (As it is higher than a bye score, although it is unlikely you played less than 12 turns each).
