Loads Quits Fails? - Iwo Jim - 05-05-2009 I don't know id this has been addressed before or not but I have a game going where we are on turn 3 and yet I'm showing 003 loads 102 quits 503 fails (even thow I haven't reloaded one time) my opponent 202 loads 302 quits 002 fails, my opponent, shall we was curious about this, I know I've seen the counters go screwey before but its never been an issue what causes this anyone know? :conf: RE: Loads Quits Fails? - Fokkov - 05-05-2009 I've seem it once when i had extracted the files but didn't play the turn , not even opened the turn . And next day extracted them again . Nbrs went off the scale. Had a very understanding opponent :bow: RE: Loads Quits Fails? - Weasel - 05-05-2009 that can easily happen. If I run REGCURE (cleans out all the crap left by programs and surfing in the registry) it nukes the SP counter and I get this. If I run Window Washer it does this. If I extract the game and don't play it, and accidentally extract again lets say the next day it happens. The security feature is nice, but until it is fool proof it is rather moot. It is not any evidence of cheating at all. Same as in TOAW, if you open a report file of the previous turns battle to read what happens it flashes an "opponent may have reloaded" message to your opponent, yet reading the file is part of the game. RE: Loads Quits Fails? - klanx171 - 05-05-2009 often it can happen if you have a problem with the game and it crashes, or also if you accidentally turns off the computer, anything which shuts the prog down. I can show if your opp is cheating but the numbers useually have to be waay out for that. it would only be if one player was showing all sorts of strange counter numbers. RE: Loads Quits Fails? - GUNSLNGR - 05-08-2009 I believe that I have also seen this when playing an opponent with a different version than me. RE: Loads Quits Fails? - RightDeve - 05-09-2009 Well, is that will also happen if I change the computer running WinSPWW2? I mean I want to change the machine to run WinSPWW2 but currently have a PBeM game going... So I have to back-up all the PBeM files then install WinSPWW2 to the new computer, will anything happen? RE: Loads Quits Fails? - animal mother - 05-09-2009 RightDeve Wrote:Well, is that will also happen if I change the computer running WinSPWW2? It deppends on the Security level of the game. If You have chosen None or BASIC PBEM Security, then You can reinstall WinSPWW2 or change puters etc. However, if FULL PBEM Security has been set, then there could be problems, like the Fail counter going up or even refusing to load the turn, as far as I know. Could somebody confirm this? I am not 100% sure. Cheers Michael RE: Loads Quits Fails? - Vesku - 05-09-2009 Full security will not allow you to change computers or installs. RE: Loads Quits Fails? - Weasel - 05-09-2009 Vesku is right, even a format on a full security game will kill the game even if you back up the files before hand. Trust me, it has happened to me at least twice now. If basic security then you can format, change computers etc and carry on. RE: Loads Quits Fails? - RightDeve - 05-09-2009 Unbelievable! Now, what should I do to continue playing PBeM? For some really serious reasons I should leave the computer I'm using currently for playing PBeM. And that can't be changed! Now what the hell should I do? I can not just give up the game, can I? Oh, what a problem.... Well, maybe someone can tell If the effect won't be so serious. I mean what if I still can be able to play the game though minor errors occured? |
