    Yeah... All those guys have been nice so he took a trip from his workshop at Korvatunturi, Finland, and gave lots of gifts to the Persian troops.

          Yes it is. Not sure what happened. PC has been running fine. Other apps are OK. But pitboss shot down. Reloaded - but now everyone has to replay 3960 - and I can't even log in.

          OK got in - but indeed - we have lost a turn. Any ideas? snoop or pinchak?

          Gotta hate pitboss!!

            To be clear - the 3960 turn has reset to 24 hours - and if you had already played the turn - it looks like you will need to replay. My humble apologies. Not suer what happened. Just confirmed all my firewall exceptions - and everything seems copacetic.

              The game is no longer in the list. I give up. The pitboss appears to be running fine - no the timer has stopped after 10 minutes.

                And now gamespyid will not accept my id and password. I give up. I'm crashing (as in going to sleep) soon. Will work on this tomorrow. Sorry folks.

                  But the game screen will accept my alternate ID (BetaACS) and password. Go figure.

                    Changed my password on gamespy and it will still not let me in. Really - I'm going to bed now.

                      I think you need to log into gamespy with a different account from the one you used to set the pittboss game up.

                      For instance... I use osha7677 login to set up pittboss, but as you all know i use pinchak as my "playing" login.

                      Don't get too frustrated Beta... I had alot of problems when i first started it, but anymore it usually runs fine (unless gamespy reboots).

                      Just as a side note... If pittboss crashed but that manager window was still avaliable you could have saved the turns played. I have personally overlooked that in my rage when the thing craps out and i just start closing everything in frustration.

                        Gamespy more than likely crashed at some point.

                        1. Save the PTBS turn every so often. Any time you check it to see who's played, go ahead and hit save. Just in case

                        2. The login you use to start a PTBS server game gets 'defaulted' to your Civ4 name, so it's very easy to accidentally use that instead.

                        3. Gamespy is not very good at playing with names and passwords.

                        4. You can always get a DirectIP game up and then publish your IP (or go to dyndns.org and get a free DNS entry if you prefer to keep your ip itself private to the extent that you can ever do that) ... even if it's just for a turn, just because GS seems to be crappy for an hour or two, it keeps the game up

                              OK - finally got to the root of the problem. Somehow, the firewall exceptions list had 'changed' and blocked the pitboss.exe program, as well as civ stats.

                              Any thoughts?

                              Game is back up. We need to replay the second turn- 3960. Clock is reset at 24 hrs. My humble apologies and thanks for your patience.
