Anybody knows how long are the games kept on the PBEM++ server? I left my last game I think in November - my opponent had to recover psychologically after I pulled off successful landings in the UK. Now when he regained his metal balance, we wanted to resume the game, but we no longer see it in the lobby. We had a period of 2-3 months of inactivity.

Games that are completed or abandoned are typically removed after 2 weeks. However, I'm not sure how long before the server marks a game as abandoned, from inactivity, though.

Thank you Hubert. Seems like the game was definitely removed after over two months of inactivity. It may be a good idea to introduce back classic PBEM, as an option for that reason. I also find the server unstable at times and taking ages to load.

If it took over 2 months to recover, he probably hasn't really recovered. Best to just start over with a fresh mindset, being a little wiser.

Dear Hubert,
I think that accidently also happened to us. We had a Campaign running (currently into the end of 1942) when my friend due to private and Business reasons found no time to make his Allied turn since mid of January. As he is now available again since this week, we found that our game is grayed out and marked as completed. We did not know that there is a time limit for game turns.

Challenge number is: 114528

Could you please somehow make the game active again?

Thank you very much in advance,
Hanno
