tecumseh Posted April 28, 2001 Share Posted April 28, 2001 My PBEM opponent surrendered, sent the file to me, but i never make it to "loading 3D graphics"...CM does nothing when I open the file. I asked him to resend it and the same thing happened. Anyone had anything like this? I have an imac running 9.1 and CM has had no problems ever before (like, none! big time sotware indeed). Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted April 28, 2001 Share Posted April 28, 2001 Could you be more specific? The program crashes to desktop and so on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecumseh Posted April 28, 2001 Author Share Posted April 28, 2001 Hi kmead I hit 'load email file', find the file, hit OK, and the open file dialog box dissapears, but CM doesn't proceed to 'loading 3D graphics',... instead it just stays on that screen with the email and TCP/IP game buttons, like its rejected the file. There is no crash...CM works fine from that point on. No error message or nuttin. i'll experiment some more and see if I can replicate it with another file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted April 28, 2001 Share Posted April 28, 2001 When you look at the file (in simpletextor word) does it have anything in it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecumseh Posted April 29, 2001 Author Share Posted April 29, 2001 Yeah it looks normal. The intro line is there, and so is the last line. In between is the usual looking giberish. i've just tried surrendering to myself in PBEM in two fake games and it all worked fine. So i think that: a) its a bug its just one of those things where a bit got flipped somewhere along the line that stopped the final email file working correctly. c) my opponent changed some numbers in the file so I could not see the AAR for some reason (he's embarrased, he's using a strat etc) since there hasn't been a sea of people saying "oh that happened to me" then i can safely rule A out...that was the purpose of my post. i'll be positive and go with B. Thanks for yr interest kmead [ 04-28-2001: Message edited by: tecumseh ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted April 29, 2001 Share Posted April 29, 2001 Have your opponent go back to the file you sent him last, resurrender and send you the 'new' version of the surrender file. A surrender is a surrender 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
