[CoFR]Archangel Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 Hello all. I am trying to play a game via email. Opponent sends me start up random game. It's aol,,but tried both zip and non-zip. Both have current versions. Game hangs while loading. I have had no problems with other players either playing via email. It's been really good. Thanks, Archangel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 You may have to have him recreate the file. If the file is zipped (which is the preferred option when sending files through large ISPs like AOL) and it doesn't give you an error upon unzipping, then I can only guess that the file itself has some sort of corruption before it was zipped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CoFR]Archangel Posted July 19, 2001 Author Share Posted July 19, 2001 I did have him recreate it, and it didn't work. Odd though why it would just access my cd player over and over and hang. Archangel 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 I have no idea why that would occur. Create a file yourself and send it to him and see if he can open it. If that doesn't work I'd suggest a clean, new, un-modded installation (to a different directory/folder) patched to 1.12 and then try that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhdeerslayer Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 I've seen some rare problems where an ISP prefers a file be sent as a new E-Mail or forwarded versus a reply. Try that one as a last resort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
