AndersJ Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 I'm currently trying to PBEM, but are having a major problem. CPU: P3 450 OS: Win98 Video: Riva 128ZX Sound: ESS Solo-1 DirectX: 6.1 Scenario: Riesberg Side: Allied Turn: 1 Both have set up and given orders. What I get from the other player is a larger pbem file.txt than initially, but probably due to movement. I hit Play to see what my guys are doing. Since it's turn 1, they start advancing on Riesberg. I can view them all, from different cameras. When all are done, I hit Done. Then the computer freezes solid. The only way out is by CAD. No Alt-Tab or Alt-Esc works. I can repeat this problem. I can send a saved file if needed. Is anyone else getting this problem ? tia, Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 This is a bug - BUT you can still play. Before the game froze, it has written a file called PBEM.txt in your CM directory. Try to find it. This is the file that you need to send your opponent. After he views the replay, he will send you his file back and you will be able to issue the next set of orders for turn 2.

Guest Lokesa Posted November 1, 1999 Share Posted November 1, 1999 I have this bug sometimes. That's what seems wierd to me, it's just sometimes. Yesterday before work the pbem worked great after work it would crash after making the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lokesa Posted November 2, 1999 Share Posted November 2, 1999 it is at that point that you send the file to your opponent. I believe the order the file gets passed back and forth is to prevent cheating. Rather then have someone put in orders then watch the video they have one person put in orders and send the file, other person sees it and sends it back without doing anything other than watch it. This makes it so you cant put in orders watch the video and decide you want to reload the original file and put in different orders or simply do the same orders over and over till they suit you.
