test game for 1.20 patch - need a player

[Rommel2D]

Yeah, the first line is just a disclaimer. Loading old saves should work, but we shouldn't be upset with an occasional problem. SabreWolf verified this with a quote from Jesse in another thread. The (1.15) Napoleon save Paddy sent me also loaded and ran fine. There doesn't seem to be any PBEM specific problems, so far.

3500 to PtS.

I did reload 3550 first by accident. I tripped a barbhut first thing just like I did the previous turn, only I received Bronze Working instead of three barbarians, so the preserve random seed feature doesn't appear to work... :-(

[Paddy]

3450 to you Sir

yes I have looked at turns several times after sending them

things are not all the same, my hut went freom a settlement to a tech

[Rommel2D]

3450

Have I been knighted? Or am I just starting to sound as cynical as Sir Ralph? :-P

[Paddy]

cynical

no way at all...

a polite is all

[Paddy]

3400BC to you

Is there anything that still works?

[Paddy]

the troops still wander correctly... so far that is...

very disapointed with the city city rioting - zoom in feature, when you 1st open the save...

you zoom into a city rioting, and you can only see the city border, the shields, gold etc. the rest is all black, so you need to go back into the city later in your turn to sort out the work force etc.

I will try to orgaize a pic, possibly better than my description...

[Paddy]

ahhh back to Rommel2D

[Paddy]

back to you

[Rommel2D]

What turn are we on?

[Rommel2D]

I've sent 3350, but don't have 3300 yet...

[edit: I've upgraded to 1.22, but didn't have any problems with the .biq file stuff yet...]

[Paddy]

Ok, I have sent you 3300BC

I am updating to 1.22 in the coming hours

[Rommel2D]

3300 Padward

1.22 doesn't seem to be 'taking' in the PBEM community...? I saw GhengisFarb mention 1.15 games crashing eventually after upgrading. Heard anything about this?

[Paddy]

no I have not heard of these hassles

so I have just grabbed a stack of old 1.15 saves and they are not opning in 1.22 all very weird

[Andydog]

Paddy, did you try opening the old 1.15 savs in 1.20, playing and saving, and then opening the new 1.20 savs in 1.22?

judging from the readme, this may be the way to go.
