PBEM -- Error Reading Units fom object save file - 8/3/2014 2:53:25 PM

Status: offline 		I have three ongoing PBEM++ games. Last nigh I played turns in all three with no problem. This morning, the two that I had turns awaiting for me wouldn't load. I got an "Error reading Units object from save file" for both games. The error is unrecoverable and I have to go into Task Managers to close out FPCRS.

I'm running 2.03a and these PBEMs have been going on for quite a few turns. Not sure if my opponents updated to 2.04 but I emailed one and asked.

I haven't heard back from him.

I am now 0 for 3 on PBEMs I can play, and I have no way to contact the other two through the PBEM++ system.

The battles are against:

Ringking

If I click OK, I get repeated errors of the above.

Not yet. I don't want to have to try to roll it back. But I'll give it a shot.

Status: offline 		The good news is that two of them worked.

The bad news is that it seems I've "lost" one of the PBEMs. When I selected it, I got a duplicate turn for one of my other PBEMs. Now it shows that one as "Waiting" for me even though I never played it.

So 2 for 3, but the problem with #3 is on the server.

Good Hunting.

I agree completely. That's a huge downside of Slitherine's PBEM++ system.

For example, I started a game with a guy back in April over PBEM++. After setup, I never got another turn. Then a couple weeks ago I finally got a turn with him. He said (through in-game messaging, available only if you successfully send a new turn) that his system had crashed and that he'd just gotten FPCRS up and running again. But through PBEM++ he had no way at all to contact me.

And now? That's the 1 game of 3 that just got "lost" somehow.
