If I download the patch what will happen to my current PBEM games that are in v 1.1? will my opponent have to upgrade too?

General, if you don't mind me asking, what was his name? I've played a couple people on theblitz that sound like this, but we managed to finish the game (even though he bitched about the TAC AI a lot). I ask because I wish to avoid him. You can email me if you want. BTW, you want a rematch from out St. Lo battle? ------------------ Jeff Abbott Sure I'll tell you who he is. He's at the Blitzkrieg wargaming club. Nickname Major Taktic with email vonwike@mediaone.net Not only did he quit because he said the TAC AI sucks and that we wasn't going to play CM anymore, he's moved up to like 4th in the blitz ladder. Don't play him, he's an admitted quiter, should change his name to Major Asshole.

WOW, I can't believe the response this post got, I can't believe that there are that many "deadbeat" players out there. I honestly thought it was probably my bad luck that a run into these slime balls. This is obviously a serious problem with our game gentlemen and we need to do something about it. The few and empty excuses I saw above about players not responding because of other reasons hold no water. You know a quit when it happens, never happens when you're losing does it? No, it's when you have broken his back or you're just about to, you can feel their frustration. I would gladly accept a cease fire or surrender. But I do not even get the courtesy of such a request. The low lifes that posess this lack of respect should be separated from the rest of us honorable commanders. I saw a post above about having a site where if a player gets two deadbeat reports he makes the black list. That's the answer comrades. It won't take long before these guys make the list and eventually they'll all be playing each other and quiting on each other while the good players are playing each other. This needs to be done because it's getting to a point where you can't win a game anymore because people bail. I play for fun, but just finishing the losses gets old and so does playing the few respectable opponents I've found over and over again (no offense to you comrades of course). I'm going to be sure to report each quitter to the ladder I found them at. I think each ladder out there should keep a list on the site and/or throw these people off the ladder. Even if that is just an inconvience to them by just signing up again under a different name, so be it. But I can't see people just changing their emails over and over. We all need to participate in reporting these scum bags and it needs to be enforced. I really didn't think it was this bad.

Hey I've answered my own question! I deleted the beta 23 patch and then reinstalled (extracted) the 22 patch then I loaded my current PBEM games with the sharpshooter problem and BLAM they got they're ammmo back! So if anyone else is in this situation use the above fix and then we can wait for the 24 patch with full clips in our sniper rifles....keep your heads down Tank Commanders... Maddmatt and BTS, please don't take me the wrong the way from my nitpicking, I use snipers alot and effectively, and I speak on everyone's behalf when I say we love you very much. Go BTS!

I'm in the middle of a couple of PBEMs with the 23 patch where my sharpshooters have lost ammo,is there a way that I can load the game using the patch before this so I can get my ammo back? I made a copy of the .exe file before I got the 23 patch, but now when I try to run that file I get an error message about a missing file. Should I download the TCP/IP patch again and then try loading my current games with that? Any advice is appreciated, please help I have tanks in my sights and I can't shoot them!
