PBEM PATCH NEEDED ASAP
My friend Blue exposed a serious flaw with the pbem in JTCS. I have tried numerous times to notify Talonsoft and then Matrix but no patch fixed this. I am certain this has been know by some players a long time. Ever seem like your opponent just knows where you are out of los or has all the right moves?
For the integrity of the game and to finally force Matrix hand, I will expose the flaw.
When you receive the pbem file from your opponent go to AI in top menu. Which ever side your opponent is (axis/ allies) highlight that side and hit manual. Boom. You know everywhere your opponent is like God mode.
Exit, relaunch, and your opponent will never know. I have known about this flaw and I am certain it has been used to advantage by players on ladders for years. I was skeptical but sure enough, Blue was right. People this goes back to the Talonsoft EFII days and no one knew? lol ya right. Win % over 90 for years....really?
I stopped playing since Talonsoft / Matrix wont patch this flaw. Now its out there. The parties over.
Bet some players are gonna hate this. Win percentages will come down to realistic levels if they fix this long standing flaw in a patch. Until then I wont play any pbem. Head to Head is only option.
Sorry for the bad news but I want fair play for all players. No way this has not been noticed before. Haters gonna hate. Please fix this in a patch asap. The game depends on it and I love Campaign Series. Best computer war game ever.
