TeAcH Posted March 13, 2000 Share Posted March 13, 2000 Why is it that in a PBEM game, some PBEM files you receive dont work. Sometimes, after I select the newly received PBEM.txt file, the game "dings" at the PW entry screen and everytime thereafter when any key is pressed. Is it a bug or game cheating? I mean, could your opponent, who doesnt like the outcome of the turn, cause the file to mess up so you send him the turn again?

Fionn Posted March 13, 2000 Share Posted March 13, 2000 bug. Not a result of cheating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeAcH Posted March 13, 2000 Author Share Posted March 13, 2000 Thank Fionn. I didn't like the prospect of the later. TeAcH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted March 13, 2000 Share Posted March 13, 2000 No problems. There are a few bugs like this in the beta demo to do with locking up or a "ding" being created when you try to access the file which are purely the result of the game being early beta (and thus having undiscovered bugs).

foxhole Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 Just wondering doe it happen every time or only some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dschugaschwili Posted March 15, 2000 Share Posted March 15, 2000 I sometimes have this problem too. In my case it happens every time I try to load the file. When I look back to my windows desktop, there is an error message saying something like "unhandled exception at 24605", and when I click OK, the game ends with an "invalid page error". The point is, I'm not even sure if it's a bug in the game, because the file loads fine on the computer of a friend of mine. At the moment I'm suspecting a hardware error in my computer being responsible for this behavior (similar things happen in other programs too).

foxhole Posted March 16, 2000 Share Posted March 16, 2000 I had the same problem until I made my partner send the file not as an attachment but made him cut and paste it right on the e-mail. If it sometimes loades and sometimes doesn't I don't know what it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
