Bug in play Movement log

[geoschmo]

Questions:

Have you used the turn replay succesfully in previous turns?

Are you playing your turns on different computers? Like one turn at work, and the next turn at home, that sort of thing?

The Turn replay will not work upless you played the previous turn on the same machine. It's very wierd, I haven't pinned down exactly what's happeneing, but I know that much to be correct. But normally you don't get an access violation, you get a "Turn cannot be opened" error message, so something different may be happening to you.

Thanks Dave. That does explain what I was trying to figure out all these months. Just goes to prove that no matter how long you play this game there is always sommething new to learn.

I only use 1 Computer and allways the same gamepath for the same game (Have a seperate game directory for every PBW game I play).

The movement replay is so quirky that I almost never use it, but have you tried the one-day-at-a-time button rather than the complete replay?

In a PBW Game I curent play I want to see the Movement off all my ships. After the day 30 is reached it begins again at day 1 witout stoping and this continues until I get the Error Message:
Access violation at adress 00403D54 in modul 'SE4.EXE'. Read of adress 20726F64. After I klick Ok the Movment of the ships continues again http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
