Hi,
Tired of guessing what's going on and came here. There is a problem in my PBEM game: when my opponent sends me the turn, and I'm trying to load it, it asks for opponent's password. I'm sure he do all the nessesary actions and the gamesave he sends me is fine. So the problem should be on my side. Tried to open it on three different computers - still the same. Last turn when it happend I asked him to re-process the turn and on a second attempt it worked. But now I got new save and the same problem. Am I missing something? Just run out of thoughts on how it can happen this way...
Game version is 1.60.
Alex.
I ran into this same sort of thing when I first began doing PBEM. From the sounds of it, you've already played a couple of turns so what you're dealing with is most likely your opponent forgetting one step.
When either of you complete your moves after viewing the combat round, you need to ADVANCE the turn by hitting the red triangle button on the task bar (just left of the middle on the top of the screen). This key will take the player to the save game screen and exits the game so it can be emailed.
If you save and exit, WITP assumes you still have moves to make and the player that sent you the file still hasn't completed his/her turn.
Try and have them ensure that button is toggled before emailing you the save. Then you should be fine.
Also, if this is your first turn and either you or the Japanese player hit "historical first turn", there is no moves to make. You both will go immediately to save the game and email it back and forth. However the above step I mentioned (turn advance) is critical. Without it, the turns don't move and you have no game.
Hope that helps.
