MP Game - on Mosehansen - Cradle of Uncivilization (Port 2280)

Do you have the latest patch? If you have not patched the game, you won't be able to download your .trn, even though you were able to login. Are you the mysterious unnamed Jotunheimian who got in at the Last minute?

There isn't a Luke registered for the game. That's the first thing.

What nation did you think you were? And what port / game?

But probably, as Norfleet said, you haven't installed the latest patch.

(And no, he isn't Jotunheim, which is there because Regen uploaded two pretenders, and the kick anonymous didn't kick it.)

Well, until a few minutes ago, Luke was the name claimed as Jotunheim, when I checked. Now it's empty again. Meh. Maybe he'll claim or not claim the slot when he gets in the game with the new patch, I dunno.

Weird - just created another account on mosehansen with a different browser, and even with that - Cradle of Uncivilization, on 2280, has always shown up with Jotunheim as Anonymous. You looking at the right game?

Plus, Regen said he'd uploaded two - and kicking the anonymous _never_ removed the original Jotunheim, meaning it almost certainly isn't Luke's, since mosehansen doesn't let you overwrite pretenders now.

Well, if not Jotunheim, then who's Luke? Is he not in our game in the first place, then? Guess he can be Jotunheim anyway.

I did download the newest patch (2.12) before trying to take my turn. I was trying to play as the Jotunheim but, I got out of the game after trying about twelve times to take my turn because I thought I was probably slowing you all down from starting the game. Thank you all for the help.

Okay - I sent a note to Luke, giving a little advice that might help him join the game (suggested uninstalling, doing a fresh install and patch, clearing the Windows temp and windows\temp directories).

Hopefully he can join and play Jotunheim; if not, tomorrow morning before the game turn runs, I'll set it to AI, and we can go with proper quickhosting.
