Playing online games:
Hey guys,
Ich made a comment offline which I wanted to share:
They said that the game server hung after they hit end turn. Seems like they use to play their turns directly online, which is not advised to do. They should do turns offline and connect to the game server again when they're done to upload them
This is true; there is a FAQ on this exact point, and how (and why) to do it. Can someone please locate the faq and post the link here?
But I can tell you from personal experience, that if I connect directly to a hosted server and you disconnect, crash, or even just quit without saving - the host will still treat it as if you had submitted a turn.
Essentially, the preferred way of doing it is connecting until you see the nations icons, then quitting, and play an existing game. When you are finished with your turn, you then go back to the network, connect, and upload your turn.
The exact step by step instructions are in the FAQ.
Best,
Chris
