Possible fix for simult hang

[Alexander's Horse]

As some would know, simult has a tendency to hang on the Ai turns. Tonight this happened and I was hosting so had a look for a key in the top menus that might perform like "enter". I hit "move pieces" in the view menu and the game moved on. Could be co-incidence but I thought it worth mentioning.

I still think it was Deity forgetting to press enter that was holding us up . He is very Old you know.

oh ok , in what way, some people like a bit of buggery now and then,....

[War4ever]

does anyone have problems with not moving all units each turn....seems sometimes i cn't move units on a particular turn and with saving at the end of a turn or when someone drops.... if the save is through.... and all your units havnt' moved , you lose the movepoints

[Alexander's Horse]

Yes, before saving you should move all your units otherwise you lose their movement.

So then once the whole team is done moving a save should be declared at that point..... the person who drops is out of luck then i guess?

[Alexander's Horse]

You have 2 choices, go back to an earlier save or yes, the person who dropped loses a turn. Sometimes people who dropped can't get back in. We have found playing another turn fixes that, but of course that means the player misses 2 turns.

I've only played simultaneous MP a few times, and I didn't notice any additional lag problems... just BTW...

[War4ever]

The annoying thing about simul in my mind is when someone drops.... it takes forever to get everyone connected back in the game again..... often 10 -15 min.

without connection probs ..... simul rocks..... but with them....
