Gustra Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 I just played a TCP/IP game and encountered the old (CM:BO) 'Prisoner bug' which forced us to switch to PBEM. The game freezes half-way through the calculation and exits when I press a key. We tried reopening the next turn via TCP/IP but it still froze. Have anybody else encountered this and reported it?

Madmatt Posted October 17, 2002 Share Posted October 17, 2002 Which game was this? CMBB? Do you have a copy of the autosave that can reliably replicate this issue? We tested the Bejesus outa this one and could never get it to reoccur in CMBB. You could be seeing a different crash though. v1.01 fixes a lot of very odd and rather hard to have happen crashes. This may be one of them. Send me that autosave though if you can. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustra Posted October 17, 2002 Author Share Posted October 17, 2002 That was a quick reply! Just read your info about 1.01 and the scenario we played was "A Battle of Minors". I suppose any save file should be o.k since they show the problem? My opponent has the autosave and I might get it later unless it was overwritten.

I was always able to reopen the turn and continue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustra Posted October 18, 2002 Author Share Posted October 18, 2002 We were not able to continue. We hade an odd setup, though. He had to host since I am behind a firewall, but the turn was computed on my computer while it died. IIRC, since he had to reload the Autosave, none of my orders were saved and I did not get an oppertunity to add any. That solved itself since we had to move to PBEM :\ Gustra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 It is not a prisoner bug, but a bug found and fixed in the 1.01 patch. Matt has it listed in the bug fix list. Rune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
