C3C PBEM Tournament : Game # 1

[predesad]

why dont you guys get a replacement and continue this game without me until you do decide to patch? just ask for a temp replacement, i dont want to hold up the game over something trivial like this, surgery, hospital stays, short trips out of town are one thing, but this is just a stupid delay IMHO.

I haven't kept an eye on the other games... how much have they played? Are they getting ahead of us?

Nothing too bad in PBEM. I think we could use 1.20 if predesad hasnt already upgraded to 1.22 ? (hm BtW, are 1.20 and 1.22 saves compatible both ways - note to self - go and check)

MP games had problems loading, thats why the quick fix. Sure, there are some small glitches it PBEM too, but nothing severe.

So, if you could get 1.20 working, ADG, i think we could get the game rolling again

I checked few days ago, and nope, closest ones were somewhere around 1500 BC. So we are not the ones lagging back

1.20 and 1.22 PBEM saves are compatible both ways

I loaded 1.20 started PBEM game in 1.22, saved the turn and continued in 1.20. No problems.

So - if ADG gets 1.20 working, we can continue the game even others would use 1.22 (or 1.20, no matter )

HM.

Now i tested again, and loading failed with data error

So, i cant be sure about the compatibility of 120 and 122

Going to test some more.

More testing seems to reveal that games started with 1.20 dont load on 1.22 at all

But, old games that are started in earlier versions, load ok in 1.22. You can even switch back and forth 1.20/1.22 with these games.

So, we should be safe to use either 1.20 or 1.22 in this game because of its started before 1.20.

C3C 1.20 Bug Thread , page 2

Alexmans post explaining the issue

Seems like its the mod thats causing this. Damn, shoud read more and test less on my own. But still, we should be safe in this game either way. Tried to load my latest turn with 1.22 and no problem.

Ha - i'm spamming this thread again

If ADG has fixed exe, what are we waiting for - christmas (old joke, i know )

Send the game forward

The fix ADG is referring to (1.22) is primarily for the online MP problems. ADG's CD bug is probably not significant enough to register on Firaxis's RADAR. How long did it take for the no-CD crack for 1.15 to appear? Was it from a third party?

I think one other game (#3?) has a chance of passing us up soon. With game #5, I think we can wait around for the summer patch from Firaxis and still stay ahead of them.

Aha I tought he was referring to no-cd. They are sometimes referred as 'fixed exe'

No-CD's came pretty fast back in PtW days when i had similar CD problems with the first versions of PtW. It took only few days, a week max to find one with edonkey, imesh or such program.

Propably less demand for C3C ones, or then its harder to make one - dont know.

I have to get a temp replacement for all my PBEM games

My power-supply 'burned' my graphics card yesterday, and I just got a different computer, though at the moment it can only surf the web... I can't even get into WinXP, so I'm using Win Me at the moment
I have no idea when (if) I get my normal computer up 'n' running again, but I doubt it'll be within a week

I'll create a "search for temp replacement thread" soon...

[Adagio]

Or wait... did we agree that if we only needed a temp replacement, then Oct X would take over? Right?

I'm offering to set up the second tournament like this, but I don't believe we said anything like that for this one. Considering how long it takes him to make a map, I'd say its a long shot, but you can always ask...

Conq and pred, are you both set to go with 1.22 if we find a sub? I've read a few comments about old saves not working under 1.22, but I can't tell if this is just a game of Chinese telephone or a serious problem.

Yaeh, set up and ready.

There really is a problem with old games and 1.22, but it should not bother our game. Atleast i managed to load my turn properly in 1.22.

So, we are quite ready, if sub is found, i imagine. I even managed to found no-cd patch for ADG, but unfortunately his computer broke If anyone is in need for one, PM me.
