Sgt Colon Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Have just been playing an interesting TCP/IP scenario, named above, got to a really tense situation at turn 17 when the connection was lost, tried the autosave file, crashed at the same point, tried saving the file under a different name, crashed at the same point, tried loading from opponents end, same result. An interesting scenario, but a disappointing result.Ideas anyone? Does this happen often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Glad you like the battle, and things will get more tense if anything. It sounds like you are experiencing the dreaded ding-crash, killer of CMBO tcp games. What happens is one of the computers plays thru the file while the other crashes and there is a little synchronization error. To fix it, figure out which player saw thru the file, then load that one as a PBEM or hotseat, depending on proximity to your opponent, play the turn, then fire the TCP back up. See a rather long thread in the Tech Support forum (do a search there for Ding Crash in the last 3 months) and there are more detailed instructions and explanations.
