Two games in 1.84, both which have just turned over have an aborted trade or gift.

In one game, a player offered to trade tecnology, I accepted and no trade! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif It was a massive trade, so I made sure I accepted it.

In another game, a player offered me a gift, I accepted and no gift! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif The gift was valuable, so I made sure I accepted it.

I have not had any problems with trades or gifts till now.

I understand the following is what takes place,

Turn X......Offer of trade or gift
Turn X+1..Acceptance of trade or gift
Turn X+2..Execution of trade or gift.

Has anybody else experienced a problem with trades or gifts.

I've had no problems so far with 1.84 and trades.

No probs in 1.84 for me, but I have experienced this in PBW "take over" slots... but not since v. 1.49.

Or is it something that is only applicable to 1.49?

If for example one player joins in an empty slot in a current game, that is a take over slot.
So if those who traded with you both were new in the game thay had recently taken a "take over slot"

For some reason I believe that Messages never get to the other player is sending the message is among the first things I do during the turn, but they do when they are one of the Last things I do.

I used to replay all Messages before anything else in the turn, and most Messages never got to the other player.
Now I send all Messages at the end (writing them in notepad and copying them if necessary) and don't see that bug so often.
