Urgent (game stopper): Spurious "awaiting results&... - 6/4/2008 4:56:51 PM

Our pbem group is getting a spurious "awaiting results from France for battle of Hamberg"
message at the start of the game & it's preventing the Russian player from making
his move. (His army is in Hamberg).

There is NO current battle going on in Hamberg. There were >2< battles in APRIL 1806
one from the French move & one from the Russian. It is now back to the Russian turn
in MAY 1806 (that's probably why the message just started popping up).

Marshall; could you tweek these files to remove whatever the program is looking
for. (& whatever is causing this needs to be put on the next fix list ... most of our players -esp Russia & France - are on 1.02K so this is still a bug )

the game pw for France is "heaven"

Thanks in advance

I should point out that NOT all players were running 1.02K when the dual-battle turn occurred. So, it is possible that the fix pre-dates K.

I do not know if Russia was running K. Gwheelock can tell us if he was running K at the time of last month's battles or not.

Britain (me) was the first person to see the message. I only see it at three times:

When I click on the Hamburg area.
When I click on the La Rochelle area (France and GB fought a battle here in May 1806).
When I load the saved game at the very beginning.

I WAS running K when I got into the battle, and I also was running K when they fought their two battles. I don't know if that's relevant.

Russia was running k. I have been running k since k came out and j before that. I try to stay updated when the patches come out. :)

I haven't tried anything yet to resolve this problem. I will try maybe tonight.

Yes I (France) was running K. I don't know if it could have been due to someone (other than you, me or Russia) not
running k; but anyone other than myself & Russia shouldn't even see anything about battle files (as opposed to the
land-combat summery info).

You might be only seeing this 3 times; but you are not trying to move the army that is IN HAMBERG
(remember - that is his main combat army vs France)

Sorry. I didn't mean "3 times". What I meant was at three EVENTS:

Clicking on Hamburg
Clicking on La Rochelle (this one is no longer happening, though)
Beginning of game load (right after clicking the "resume" button on the main windo)

I tried this, this fixed a problem we had in the past, but this did not work this time, it still says "Awaiting Battle File From France in Hamberg".

I tried putting the last battle file I had with France in Hamberg in the battles folder and that didn't fix the problem either. Even when I clicked "End of Phase", my file directory opened to ...\battles and I manually loaded the battle file and then it just said that "The Battle has not concluded", even though it has and it's been a whole month.

This is some kind of bug.

It looks like that did it - I'm not getting the message anymore.

Many thanks Marshall.

OK, now that's not fair, Marshall. You've got at least two programmers posting to you here: We want to know what the bug was.

C'mon, now, buddy: 'Fess up!

LOL!
I have mandatory wait states in PBEM combat that "should" clear but are/were not. I manually cleared this from my debug build. I do have this fixed in 1.03.

Sweet! Thanks again Marshall for the time and the files, much appreciated!! I'd love to see this game to the end.
