Picked up a Redux challenge today (Meeting Engagement) and when it was my turn to select forces the opening screen gave me the "Objective Failed"...then game over. FYI (full version 2.0.4 Mac)

Hmmm - that isn't good. Can you tell me who you were playing so I can grab the files and take a look.

No problem Pip, it was DAVICO. He initiated the game and I picked up the challenge.

Thanks.

Same thing happen to me. I challenged and had axis so was going second. Playing against gortwillsaveus - game shows a June 23, 2012 11:18 time tag - meeting engagement redux. One thing I did that I thought may have contributed is that, after initially finished selecting forces, I declined to upload and went back to the selection screen so i could review my forces one more time. I made no changes and then tried to upload. I thought the game may have forgot my selections for the upload even though it showed them when I returned. PC version on Windows 98.

Hmmmm - interesting. Thanks for the detail - I wonder if that makes a difference.

Second time I tried the same scenario, same axis side, and probably the same force selection. This time I accepted the upload at the confirmation screen. No problem this time. If you want to run an experiment, I would try that. Second player, select forces, start upload, decline at the confirmation screen, start upload again.

I thought I saw this pattern once when uploading and cancelling and redoing force selection but tried to repeat 10 times and could not repeat and decided I had used a bad saved game from an old version.

Did you try not changing anything in the force selection? I seem to remember that I looked and decided it was ok so hit the button again. IIRC, also, I may have not gotten to the confirmation screen. I was surprised by how quickly it abandoned the game and, at the time, something else seemed wrong. What happens in force selection if you don't select any forces and try to upload?

Sorry if I'm trying to hard here - I was a SW Manager/System Engineer/ part time developer/tester before I retired - as the manager I always ended up helping integration testing - it's force of habit when I find a bug.

I think I have found and fixed the issue. It was moving ahead the deployment phase before actually being sure that the turn was being sent. Thanks for all the info - very helpful!

Cheers
