Thanks Morge!

So it is just me then...I had a weird number of errors when I started a multiplayer for a Sealion battle yesterday, I wonder if that had something to do with it?

I'll look around for some troubleshooting ideas...hope to get back on soon!

Good Luck! I just finished our turn without problems. Hope it is nothing serious. :)

Well...as you know, I got back on. Had to do a reinstall (actually, a restart then reinstall. When I just tried to do a reinstall it told me that BA was running?!).

Unfortunately, I went to play my Sealion battle again (Dunes) and got a number of 'missing file' messages that were related to Sealion. After clicking through all of those, I got a message about a mismatch in our scripts...so I abandoned the battle.

Not sure why this is suddenly an issue?

Please advise...

Can you please post the exact messages. It does sound like an installation problem.

Cheers

It only happened when I played multiplayer Sealion (no errors on the single player campaign).

It was a series of errors...is there a log where I can find those? I had to click through about 15 of them.

I haven't had problems with multi Sealion before?

You can take a look at error.log in My Documents/My Games/BBCBA to see if they are listed there, though it depends on the type of error.

Thanks Pip, but no, they aren't listed there (well, not in English anyway! LOL!).

Could it have been an error with my opponents version? Maybe I should try a game and see if it works? (again, single player works fine, it was just a multiplayer that gave me the error).

Was it a custom game?

Nope, it was the Sealion MP - Dunes

Connection Failed means that the game was not able to connect to the internet at all. My guess is firewall interference.

Thanks Pip,

Seemed a reboot took care of it.
