  • Ouestions abour pbem

    I can't email turns using the game. It fails every time. I noticed that when I change the smtp in reverts to the wrong one when I click "ok". I watch as the games changes it back to the wrong smtp. When I change the eamil address to one I know works with the smtp the game insists on, it fails also.

    Questions:

    1) Is there a way to stop the email pop up at the end of the turn? Since it will never work I would like to avoid the pop up and email the turns manually.

    2) is there a way to get the game to accept the right smtp info with out changing it?

    Not even starting a new game will change the smtp. It appears the I have an smtp for life. The game just changes it to smtp.comcast.net. It does not matter what I put in the box, the game just changes it to smtp.comcast.net. Even if I change the email address to one that uses smtp.comcast.net, it fails to send the turn.

    What's up with that? I don't get it. The guy I am playing can send turns with the game.

    Have you tried editing the ini file manually? It might be that file is set to read-only for some reason and the game can't change it.

    It can be found in
    (XP) My Documents\My Games\<Civ4 Version>
    or
    (Vista) Documents\My Games\<Civ4 Version>

    Replace <Civ 4 Version> with the version you are playing (Civilization IV, Warlords, or Beyond the Sword).

      I did this edit, it made no difference. Though I found no smtp setting.
