Hi Mark!

Thank you for your continued investigation into this and with your last test and being able to attempt to connect and join your partner's game I believe I have found the issue as I was able to repeat this error you have discovered. I'll investigate further now that I can see what is happening in my code, once I attempt to join, and will report back my findings shortly.

Hubert

So I can confirm it is because your opponent has that space in his username that it was causing problems for the code and the PBEM++ server when sending the required network commands. I've fixed this on my end to properly handle this going forward.

Send me an email at support@furysoftware.com and I can try and get you an updated EXE so that both you and your partner can play your games until we have an official patch for this.

Giob,

That sounds like a different issue than Hanno and I were having - you might consider starting a new thread to make sure your issue is not lost in this thread.

Hubert,

We're playing along fine with the "fixed" .exe file you sent to us - but I think I've stumbled onto a similar/related issue.

When I try to resign from an earlier game (leftover from before your fix), so I can clear it off my game list, I get the connection error -5 again.
It isn't a stopper, I just can't resign which is not an issue in the short run.

Same here (Amadeus vs Fafnir ID 98890). Download is OK but Upload impossible. So what shall we do now?

The screen said Upload was OK but it was not!

To echo Hubert
Apologies for the frustration and our IT support team are investigating - to be honest I don't think we will get to it tonight (24th) I'm afraid
