Still, Alex, your server seems a bit slower to respond than usual.

Mayhap you mistyped it twice or something, and that kicked in a flood protection?

With all the rain we have had this fall, that is probably what happened.

Alex, how do OOS with Pitboss work? In another PTBS game (that I'm hosting), one of the players seems to have gone out of sync, but I can't tell why (and no player for the past 10 turns or so has had any sort of message about different files...)

Also, it doesn't indicate OOS to any of the other players that I've seen, including myself. Only in the PTBS window does it talk about the OOS, and in the one player's game.

Do I need to reload the game, or does simply reconnecting by the offending player fix it?

[alexman]

Ideally OOS should not happen, but if they do, reconnecting by the offending player should fix it.

[snoopy369]

Good to know ... we're not sure why it happened, it's very odd since nothing had indicated any issues with files or whatnot. (I'll see something in the DOS-like window, right, if there are different files?)

Unfortunately there are just a long string of OOS messages in that window right now, the whole box is full of them

GS went down about an hour ago, so the game presumably is down also.

Game is not up yet.

Lord of Emperors is up, though.

Sorry, I will not be able to get to the server for another 12 hours or so.

By the way, why are we continuously hitting the turn timer limit? Is everyone still playing?

[snoopy369]

I have noticed that Tassi doesn't seem to have played a turn in a while, at least that when I log in, he's never asterisked (The Great Event) even a turn or two where I went close to the limit.

[snoopy369]

BTW, is there a way to turn logging on in PTBS (but not in the regular game), or are they linked?

[alexman]

They both use the same .ini file, so they are linked unless you use separate installations of the game.

I certainly am, but I keep forgetting about the game without the reminder mail. So I often plan a few turns ahead (as long as this is still possible) in case I forget to log in again.

I am playing regularly, and have the same observation as snoop. Quick Pm and possible replacement?

While on that subject - if one does want a temproary replacement, can they simply log in under their own ID and play - as long as they have the password for the game and the civ?

[alexman]

Game back up.
