Any date for patching, Esben?

"Orania - DO Not START" game can not be restarted. The game has stopped for some reason, and will not start back up.

Could it be that when people with different patch levels submit their turns, the game hangs? Maybe someone should wipe all the orders for the next turn clear, or something?

That seems to be the case, as two games exhibit this problem, both of which are down with somebody still connected.

Personally, I'd code something to automatically detect this and delete the offending file. I'd probably give harsher penalties after repeated incidents from the same person, but I'm also a big fan of draconian punishments.

No 'seeming' about it, it is the case.

That's what happens when people who shall remain
unnamed patch someone else's PC, watch the
unsuspecting patsy crash the game on lunch break,
and then go and post 'guesses' on public forums.

;-)

Yeah. If you connect with a patched client to
an unpatched game on Mosehansen's server, you
will stop the game. I guess no game will be
running in a few hours.

Holy Mose, save us!

Our Urgaria game did not take any of our Last orders when the game hosted. At least not for me and Peter.

I got a message saying that "Your 2H file was from another saved game. You have not given any new orders this Last turn."

I have not touched the patch on any of my computers.

Thy prayers have been head, and your wish granted. The games will still crash, though now they can be restarted. They could be preemptively restarted, if you prefer.
