Thought the trade bug was fixed in 1.91

Changing the message don�t seem to cause any problems. Since the trade bug was discovered I have always made sure any diplomacy is the absolutely Last thing I do before hitting F12. Never had any problems since.

Well, it's definitely NOT working and damned if I can figure out why! Yet ANOTHER turn where I have replied "Accept" to give Battle Cruisers to Mark (and get something from him) and yet another turn where the entire trade was completely ignored! Nothing transferred. And believe me, I absolutely stare at the "Accept" button on the trade when I click and read the text it supplies in the message area after the click. It's as if someone turned off tech trading for us

I realize our position looks bleak but this pisses me off!

Maybe we could get Joachim (or Geo) to rerun the turn offline and try to figure out whats going on.

While I'm happy to try, I suggest getting someone who knows what they're doing - ie not me!

Can you trade Primitive?

Then I accept the trade. Then I work on production

Do you accept the trade as the very Last thing in your turn (a few seconds before ending your turn), or do something else after that? It is the only known explanation for the trade bug, and that part of your message worries me a bit. And what about Mark?

I am not sure if the trade bug strike when you accept the trade, when you propose it, or both. I have a hunch it happens at both times; the actual message may be sent fine, but the contents of the trade are lost in the process. At least, that is a theory based on no ground whatsoever, but...

If not, I don't have the slightest clue about what isn't working for you. The closest to hit was what happened in the NGC games, where one player couldn't accept any trade. I am not too sure if this problem had been solved or not; perhaps Ruatha has a better answer about this. But the NGC games are much bigger than our 2vs2 game, and sheer size may be a factor triggering the trade bug.

Joachim.
Well, it needs to be someone who knows the master password

Its really nothing to it. We send you our Last turnfiles (and our passwords) and you run the turn on your computer. If the trade still don�t come through, Slynky can try to redo the turn until it works.

And if we can�t get it to work at all, maybe its better to just nullify the game.

Edit: Forgot; Me and the snickering one trades fine

Happy to try - but no promises!
