Hey,

Running v.1.806. Two PBEM games, one as Allies, one as Japan and still early in the war.

I run a combat save (as allies) or run the latest turn (as japan) and watch the combat replay. However, throughout the replay there are absolutely no combat animations (they go straight to the combat summaries) and when the turn ends absolutely none of the reports are recorded for review (combat report, operations report, etc). No doubt it's an annoyance but because of this it's becoming harder to run the war as it get more complicated, since I can't remember every single thing that happens in the replay..

I've checked all my settings and preferences and it's set to play combat animations and write combat reports. In fact I think these two settings have been turned off automatically several times after running the combat saves.

Animations and saved reports are working fine when it's not PBEM...

Any ideas on how to fix this?

First: What scenario are you playing (and what mod if any)??

Second: When is the last time you rebooted? Prolonged periods between reboots can lead to unpredictable results - and failure to boot before running a turn result (WITP001.PWS file) can lead to sync errors and other problems.

Third: Please show a screenshot of your preferences screen... this will go a long way to figuring out what is going on without a lot of flummoxing.
