Doomed Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Has anybody been able to start a new CMFI PBEM since the latest patch? For us it either crashes or loads to 5% and then bites the dust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 yes, just ran one a few turns. I'd doublecheck to be absolutely certain you both are at 2.01 and have the same modules etc. If you do, then contact the helpdesk. Can you run a pbem just using your own machine? Moving the files between outgoing and incoming folders? Can your partner? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveNoMore Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I can't get past the password screen. It sits there and then boots me back to the desktop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 We're both at 2.01 and we've both tried running the PBEM on our own machines and it doesn't work (Same error). Both have the same modules and it was working fine before the patch. A quick battle with the same settings works fine in single player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Similar problem now with CMRT - CMFB and CMBN working OK 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) I get the same problem in a FI QB. Can start the same one (Map, settings) local but once my oppo tries to load his first save it crashes to desktop. Both are pathced and have the same modules. We have played PBEM before in FI and it worked flawlessly. Haven't tried any of the other games yet. I doubt moving files seperately will help as CM Helper identifies the files and prompts that it is your turn. And the file turns up in the Saved Files to be loaded. Update: Can't get BN to work either. Edited May 8, 2019 by rocketman 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heirloom_Tomato Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Is it map specific or are all maps affected? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domfluff Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Interesting. I'm in two CMFI PBEM games at the moment, one of which has just started. We've been passing turns back and forth, and haven't seen an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a couple of different maps and different forces. I've got a ticket open with the helpdesk so they are looking into it at the moment. Oddly for CMRT it lets my opponent process the first file but then it crashes at 5% when they return it to me. It does work for CMBN and CMFB Edited May 8, 2019 by Doomed Thought of something else 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkEzra Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) @ PBEM Players with problems: Mac? PC? Both Mac? Both PC? May be important info for bug testing I tested a CMFB PBEM on my PC. All setup and game turns play as expected. Edited May 10, 2019 by MarkEzra 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a CMBN pbem on it's 21st file turn with someone else who just patched up so it isn't uniform. Has to be something specific. Might be helpful if everyone who is having an issue post their machine specs. Also post on the battle itself - is it generated from a QB or a scenario, if scenario is it stock or one created?

Doomed Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm progressing this with the help desk. It appears to be an issue with the QB Force Selection screen as if you let the computer choose forces it works fine. So in my case its a QB, PC to PC both with NVidia GTX970 video cards 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I got a FB QB started that works. Note that my problem is only with new QB PBEM and not regular battles. Can play the exact same QB as single player without problems.

Schrullenhaft Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 So this appears to possibly be an issue with 'Human Player' unit selection. Does this happen if either or both are selected for Human Player selection or will just one side with this selection do it ? This sounds like a bug that had been quashed a couple of patches/updates back with CMBN or CMFI (can't remember which had it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomed Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 I've done some brief experiments just moving files between my Outgoing and Incoming folders. I chose the attacker in both cases as the originator of the game Attacker Automatic, Defender Choice - crashes after password prompt for defender Attacker Choice Defender Automatic - defender enters password and generates new file. Attacker crashes at 5% loading 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automatic selection and solo play are not affected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf65 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I will find out later today or tomorrow because I have two PBEM CMFI "Quick Battles" ready to go. Just waiting for my opponent to send me the files. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
