Micheal Wittman Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Well here's the problem, i'm playing a couple of pbems and everthing is working fine. We all have the right versions(latest update), but after about 10 turns in I load the movie turn I get and this is what happens.. The clock/timer shows instead of 60/secs, it shows 234354 secs I quess. I play the movie and fast forward it for a couple of minutes. Well I do that, troops well walk right off the map, tanks will keep going around in circles. If I load the turn on another computer is works fine. I have tried deleting CMBB and getting rid of everthing I could in the registry and reinstalling CMBB, including the patches 1 through to 3. Load the turn in again and the same thing happens. I even tried loading in a map and buying units to place on the map.. When I preview the map with the units on it, all the troop units are standing at attention instead on the normal /crouched/ type pose they have. I had my oppenents resend the turns but the problem still ocurs. I had been playing a number of games prior to this with no problems till now.

Schrullenhaft Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 You don't perchance happening to be running this PBEM on a Dell or Sony computer are you ? There's a problem with the "UPTIMER" function on a number of these computers. Here's a thread about it (though I can't recall if there's a solution or not). Some possible solutions involve updating the motherboard BIOS (if there is an update) and/or leaving your computer on for 45 minutes or more before attempting to play a PBEM round. Neither of these answers is a surefire way to solve the problem, but it has worked for some people.
