Game II - pitboss, entry open

PMBMaker · July 16, 2010, 18:20

Turn done, only 1 player missing....

14 players would have been too much?

As Evalds had earlier posted he was only looking for 12 players (probably to keep the map size large instead of huge) and he had already extended that number to 13.

If your friend is still looking for a game, there is another new game starting up at:

I am also sure that someone will eventually need a sub or replacement in this game so your friend could make the first alternate.

PMBMaker · July 16, 2010, 21:37

Its not a drama but at least a post saying something like you did in yours...

We're sorry but we think another player would make the game less playable for everybody.

But all is cool

Can someone post when turn 2 is up?

Thanks,

I seem to be having a problem logging in the game this evening. I've tried multiple (6 or 7) times over an 8 or so hour period. I have to try twice to join the game (where the civ select screen is up) and on the second I connect. Then I pick my civ and enter my password and it "transfers data" or whatever it says and once it actually starts to load the game CIV just shuts down.

Any ideas about this sudden switch? I logged in multiple times this morning (up until 12 or 1pm) and had no problems then the above started happening. Have any settings been changed by the host or something like that?

I just logged on fine with no problems. Not sure what is causing the problems you're having, FierceFighter.

There is 6 hours, 45 minutes left. So far all players have finished their turn except for Joao II of Portugal.

Fiercefighter4 · July 17, 2010, 10:12

Hmm, I don't know what it is. The turn should have time so if it isn't any better by this evening I'll try a fresh install and see if that fixes it. Ideas are much appreciated.

I do not have a specific answer to your problem but here are some basic troubleshooting ideas (these may be overtly obvious and you have probably already tried them).

1) Restart your computer and try again. There may be a crashed process that is interfering with your civ install.

2) Try logging into another pitboss game. (If you are not playing in any other game see if someone you know will let you attempt logging into their game), This will help isolate whether the problem is with your civ installation in general or specific to this game.

3) Make sure no mods are being loaded.

4) Shut down your firewall and see if you can join the game. If so then the problem is in your firewall settings.

5) Shut down all other programs to ensure none of them are causing a conflict.

6) Try the reinstall you mentioned.

I think someone asked that it be posted when the turn rolls. The turn has rolled, although Joao II of Portugal did not take his turn.

marcuspeddle · July 17, 2010, 12:18

Thanks. ^^

marcuspeddle · July 17, 2010, 12:26

Grrr. It is asking me to choose a civilisation again. And then the game crashes when it is initialising. Anyone else having a problem on their second turn?

2metraninja · July 17, 2010, 13:38

PMBMaker, is your friend who did not get to this game interested in replacing someone in a game already running, but still in the 1000's year?
If so, let me know.

2metraninja · July 17, 2010, 16:37

For me it was smooth process - logged, played my turn, log out.

Worked fine for me. My turn has been played.

Actually, I had a thought. With all the new players there may be one or more players who do not have their firewall set properly, in which case anyone trying to login while they are logged in would get an error.

onemoreturnmike · July 17, 2010, 20:36

ok so far. played second turn. How are you guys able to tell who hasn't played their turn? I logged in this morning about 2 hours before the clock clicked over, and I wasnt sure if the 1 player had gone yet..so I logged back off. Is there a way to tell?

trev · July 17, 2010, 23:12

If all players have played their turn, it immediately moves to a new turn. As a player ends their turn, an asterisk appears by the players name in the game. So any players name with no asterisk by their name are still to play a turn.

marcuspeddle · July 18, 2010, 00:01

Crash again. I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this game. I don't want to hold up other people so you may as well set my civ to AI.

Will try to talk to him today.

PMBMaker, you should see if your friend is willing to takeover MarcusPeddle's civ since we seem to have our first alternate requirement.

Rakird · July 18, 2010, 11:50

I´ve it up and running now.

I can take over the MarcusPeddle's civ, but i will need the password for it

email me with it pls:

Email sent. Enjoy the game.

Fiercefighter4 · July 18, 2010, 12:54

I've tried everything but still no luck :/

Rakird · July 18, 2010, 14:55

Alright

Thank you!

onemoreturnmike · July 18, 2010, 18:17

played 3rd turn

2metraninja · July 19, 2010, 03:58

I Don't want to hijack the thread or players, but here are a lot of pitbossers and some of you realtively new, so not in so many games already and I want to announce that we are looking for a permanent substitute in one of our games.

If interested, you will take control of England on Big&Small map in the year 1220 with good position on powergraph and score board and will have one neighbor on a peaceful continent with space for more expanding. We are 7 players in this pitboss and it goes on good speed.

People interested, please send me a message.

Sorry for delay, I added CivStats link & password in the main post.

Thank you. Makes it a lot easier for me.

Should we be looking for another replacement or has FierceFighter4 resolved his problem?

Looking at civstats, I assume Fiercefighter4 is Cjreynol. Looks like he was able to login to the game for a minute yesterday but didn't finish his turn which I assume is because of the error he is having causing him to crash on load.

Hercules · July 20, 2010, 19:11

I am no expert at all. But if Fiercefighter4 clears his cache, might that help?

onemoreturnmike · July 21, 2010, 08:13

Checked in, looks like we are waiting for the cjreynol and are at -2 hours on the countdown...(over by 2 hours on the 30 hour count if Im understanding things right...) what is the protocol for this kinda thing...
