WF Problem (Help)

[Hattius Rattius]

Just wondering if somebody could help, got a problem with a WF scenario Gabr Saleh.

I'm playing the first move then I end the move in the normal way and zip up and send to my opponent.

When my opponent sends me his move I get the following error

Application not lobbied and then a further error message of Error initializing direct play.

I've checked that I'm running the same version 1.04.

I'm not having any problems with any other WF scenarios I'm playing at the moment and neither is my opponent.

Any ideas anybody?

What was the problem ? (you can PM me if you feel embarrased !).

The problem was with naming the file. I normally put a prefix of !! in front of the file. For some strange reason when I got the file back from my opponent it changed to a prefix of -- which caused the error message.

To fix the problem I just renamed the prefix back to !! which worked fine.

Not sure why the file is changing its prefix though!

I'm still having to rename the file when I receive it from my opponent.

Strange....

But its working which is the main thing. :)

might be a vista thingy

Well, I have vista 64-bit and I’ve never had any problems with CS (Matrix version of course).

I'm using xp but not sure what my opponent is running.
