Upload turn in PBEM but doesn't register.

Post by sakura0022 »

Hi all,

I had a look through the forums and couldn't find anything related to this.

At the moment for me when I upload my turn on some PBEM scenarios it doesn't register when I get back to the server menu. It always says it is my turn.
Also, for the scenarios this doesn't happen to, those scenarios are stuck at the loading screen.

Any ideas anyone?

Any help is very welcome!

Hello,
I have a similar problem. When I launch Multiplayer and login I get a PBEM error.

I’ve never had any problems with this, but I’ll try to help.
Are you running any mods while doing this?
Have you modified any game files yourself?
Does this happen to any other scenarios, or just PBEM?

Probably network issues due to increased internet access, streaming (NetFlix etc) , people using vpn-tunnels to login to work from home etc.
Blame it on the corona virus.

This is only happening with PBEM. What is happening when I get the attached error code and click retry, nothing happens for a period of time and then eventually I get logged in. I have not modified the game nor I am running any mods.I am running Mac OS 10.9.5.

Are you eventually able to get it to work?

It might have to do with software. If that’s the case, then I won’t be of much use.

Yes, eventually I can log in. Puzzling why all of a sudden this is happening. I was away for a month. My computer was fine before I left and when I returned started having these issues. I did not load any new software so it is puzzling.

Is your game completely updated to the latest version? That’s the only thing I can think of...

I've had that issue manifest on rare occasions myself. Pretty sure it's related to wonky internet pipes (my router going on the fritz for example). Just crossing my fingers it doesn't happen with my current Russia Campaign game, since a single turn takes more than an hour!

On the topic of multiplayer, I may have mentioned this before as it's an issue which comes and goes but I can't boot inactive players. I wait for more than seven days to pass, and when I try kicking them I just get stuck on the loading screen. Not anything major, but a bit aggravating nonetheless.

Only that long! :wink: Turn just sent. No problem, this time.

Hee hee, yeah turns take forever in the Russia campaign. Part of the fun! It's a little shorter if you play as Germany I think, since Russia has what feels like an infinite amount of cannon fodder clogging up railways. I was planning to take on Dzin (who consistently destroys me in Dubno) in The Road To Moscow, but for some reason I can't get that scenario to work at all. It's not what happened before where extracting created a folder within a folder, all the files look fine. Maybe I should try downloading it again in case it was corrupted somehow, which I've heard occasionally happens.

Hello,
Thanks for trying to help. I'm not running any mods, haven't modified any games. This is only a problem in Multiplayer.

Not only is PBEM refusing to let me connect now, but earlier when I could get on it wouldn't let upload my turn. I've had one issue or the other but never both on the same day. The servers are haunted!
