Orders posted for the dual monarchy.

Last ord file arrived; I'm going to process it tomorrow, tonight the game graphic continue to crash, perhaps some conflict with a program load in memory; i'd need to restart the PC.

[poweraxe]

Sure Mitra, let us know if it worked alright.

[Mitra]

Save file posted; ord files also if you want verify the sync.

I replayed the turn twice and my Austrians didn't move. Very odd. Did either France or russia see that ?

[poweraxe]

Ran the turn (France), Austrian armies moved (major battle in Belgrade which lasted 10 rounds, with a lot of losses). What I saw seems to match the results in the latest turn Mitra sent (Belgians retreat, French V army intercepts and wins the battle in the Ardennes region, Russians advance into Eastern Prussia and the Austrians and Serbians battle in Belgrade).

[calvinus]

Mmmhh... I think I should spend some time investigating about this no-move issue, as this could explain the loss of synch in the old PBEM mode...

You say that Austrians didn't move... to Belgrade, right? So I guess the cause could be the passing of Danube, large river that makes a die is rolled to check additional losses and successful crossing. If the random seed is not synched before that roll, this explains the bug!

[Mitra]

Poweraxe description matchs with what happened. Let continue with this parallel test, this sure will help Calvinus very much.

[calvinus]

Well, next update of 1.08Q will contain the following change:
- Large river crossing tests (performed during movements) are now automatically successful because they caused loss of synchronization in PBEM or Multiplayer mode

[RGA]

Next order posted. I can take those losses, the Serbs can't.

[poweraxe]

French orders posted in the shared folder.

[Mitra]

Guys, i found only 1 ord file in the directory

[RGA]

Think I put mine in the wrong folder. Should be there now.

[poweraxe]

Waiting for Russia's orders.

[RGA]

Has anyone heard from the Russian player ?

[poweraxe]

Not in a while :/

[powcarrot27]

I'll post turn tomorrow. I came across a nasty virus, and I just got my computer back up and running again.

[powcarrot27]

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but I have no messages showing what happened on the previous turn.

[Mitra]

Yes is normal; you can process your tunr using the backup of ord files I place in the backup directory, before use my host.sav turn. I'm trying to process the next turn, I received a crash durign the combat processing, and because there is many fights is very long restart

[calvinus]

Use latest patch 1.08Q as it fixes the battle crashes.

[Mitra]

thanks Calvinus; file is up guys, with the bak files for verify the replay. Big battles this turn.

[Mitra]

guys, any of you played the turn?
