Gen_Dumitrescu Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi I've start playing CMFI over PBEM. We both have the base game with GL and patch V112. Been playing several smaller scenarios for weeks now, everything been working fine with file transfer via DropBox etc. One particular large scenario in GL called Cesaro has stopped working after we've played for 2 weeks or so. Incoming file V049 comes in at 32Mb , transfers OK, I copy the file in my Incoming Folder yet the file is "invisible" for the game ! I can see the 047 file ok, can load and replay w/o any issues. The 047 file is at 28Mb size. I've restarted the game several time, re boot computer, re installed the DBFI , GL and the two patches. Asked my game partner to re-play m re load the file (keep browser open , check internet connection etc) Still no luck. This 049 file is invisible for some reason. I am using Win8.1 , 16Mb RAM with an AMD 64 processor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. GD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud Backer Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 In PBEM files will only be visible if they have the .ema extension. You might check and see that the file doesn't have a .btt extension, which will not show in game (ie: invisible). If it has the .btt extension then the game is working correctly, as your opponent has not finished his turn. He needs to load that turn and click the end turn button and let the game autosave. If the file has the .ema extension then you need a helpdesk ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Do you perhaps mean .bts? The file extension .btt is a scenario and the file extension .bts is a saved game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen_Dumitrescu Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 All files have .ema extension. Previous file in my incoming folder of 28Mb with rev 047 works fine. subsequent file of 32Mb with rev 049 does is invisible. Root causing by elimination ... what if the file size is the problem ?! I am going to try an experiment ... will ask my game partner to export several "offshoots" of different size from my 048 file that I have sent. (limit the moves to generate different sizes etc). Should this be an internet uploading problem ? can the files get corrupted during DropBox transfer process ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, yeah, that was what I meant, but from the subsequent post, I'm barking up the wrong tree anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size will not be the issue by itself - I have games that are getting close the 100mb that are loading fine. And I have not seen a file corrupted by Dropbox but it is worth a try to see if the different versions all fail to show up or not. Just making sure here have you verified that both of you are playing with the same version of the game? The version number is on the home screen near the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen_Dumitrescu Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Tried this very file with another gaming partner ... working just fine there. I was able to pick it right where we've left it at 050 The issue resides with gaming partner #1 Somehow this large file gets corrupted. We are playing several scenarios in parallel , everything is good with smaller files (several Mb's in size). Next step : figuring out where the file gets corrupted in the transfer process ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Do you use email to transfer the files? IIRC when I played my first games by email (before using dropbox) that happened sometimes. If you don't already start using dropbox. Much better than email for this purpose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
