If I don't have my email written down in the email box, I will have to relog every time I access the multiplayer. @BFCElvis @ALBY can you try this and see if it takes care of the issue for you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuya Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 (edited) For some reason I currently only have one side of the battles turns being sent to me, @imported_TREAD_HEAD I believe we are up against each other and I am only getting my US turns showing in my PBEM folder in game I don't know if you have both sides turns showing up correctly or not? Currently I have turn 3 available to play for US and still no Soviet turn showing. I only managed to do the first round due to my PC dying in round 2 but didn't have this issue with the holiday tourney last time not sure if anyone else has the same issue.

Something I've discovered that can cause confusion. If you load a game up and just quit (no saving or clicking Go). The game will auto-create a save game anyway in your "Saved Games & PBEM" list. Thus giving the player the impression these are the files to play. Which they are not. Double check that you are loading the files from the Automated PBEM++ In Progress list. These will go through. If you play the files from the other saved games list then they go no where. I just made this mistake myself with my Soviet setup in the CMRT tourney. Checked this with CMBN and it behaves the same way. Also and Im a bit fuzzy on this, @BFCElvis help me out here, this also means these tourneys do not support save a turn and finish later. So save games generated either from quitting (auto saves described above) or player created saves wont get sent. I vaguely remember hearing this in the past. I just so rarely see this as once I load a battle I play it without quitting or saving it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALBY Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 im discording with my oppo who said he completed turns but they did not show in my folder and I am troubleshooting with him now. thank you to artkin and elvis. my email has always been there. ill keep an eye on behavior and see if i stay connected in this round. what i suspect now is that if you have any break in connection while playing a turn, you are hosed. thanks to our perennial champ for the instructions above. however, this is obviously an issue for both old and new players and a more specific set of play instructions needs to be issued to support PBEM++ tournament play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzuya Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Yep joining through the PBEM++ menu and have played through a couple of my US turns now no issue i just don't have the Soviet side of the battle in my menu only my US and the previous Holiday tourney rounds which i checked just in case one of them was my Soviet side mislabled but nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then this should probably be part of the tourney info/instructions. Just a reminder that save and finish later isn’t supported. And to ignore any tourney files that show up in the saved games & PBEM list. I know trying to keep it short and sweet to avoid TLDR! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdeath Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Have the same problem like some others, only playing "half" the battle in CMCW (US side). In CMBN and CMRT both battles are showing up and turns (and bullets in CMBN) are exchanged! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the CMCW is because my opponent didn't read the "please read" instructions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurian52 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Ok, I think I've finally got this figured out. I made sure to include my email on the login screen. Now I'm not getting logged out after clicking ok on the password screen, and as a bonus the turn (I'm still only recieving one turn) no longer appears in the PBEM In Progress folder (which I assume means that it's been sent to my opponent). To my opponent (I believe it's BennySouthSt), sorry it took me this long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having never fought a human opponent before, I expect to do poorly. It should be fun nonetheless. I have never played in a tournament before and may be interest next round. I was looking at the scoring on Matrix’s site and was curious as to how that is determined? I attached screenshots for reference. If someone could pick one of the scores from that image and explain to me how that score is calculated that would be much appreciated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is determined by who got most kills for that turn. It’s kinda meaningless since the scores get reverted in the end to the in-game score. Win or lose you get far more points for finishing the battles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Kulin Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 If you have more kills in a turn you get 3 points and your opponent gets 1 point. If nothing happens it is 0-0. Presume it is same 0-0 for a tie in kills which might be rare if they score kills based on values of units (e.g., tank vs. X soldiers). I always thought it an odd way to score and figure it would be more logical to do it the soccer way. 3-0 for a win, 1-1 for a tie, and for CM 0-0 if no casualties in a turn. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurian52 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Is there any way to contact my opponent? They may have gotten discouraged by how long it took me to send the first turn. It would be nice to get this battle started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probus Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I had a late start also. My username is the infamous gkersh (#1 with 0 points), so we had to get that sorted. Now I'm rarin' to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannon Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 I wish I had seen this tournament before today. Are these announced somewhere I could monitor? BTW, I just completed a PBEM of Valley of Ashes and it was one of my most enjoyable battles yet. A whole lotta dying occurred on both sides! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Battlefront and Matrix announce them on our forums about 2 weeks before the tournaments start.
