You may install, but copy the old PtW installation to another folder so you can use both versions, like me, i have 3 different civ versions in hard disk, lined up nicely at the desktop

Thx for the link... though I don't think I'll be using the new version anyway, since I only play PBEM games...

[Ananias]

so . . . where's the turn now?

[Conqueror]

I was wondering the same thing. Usually this game goes round extremely fast.

ADG/Dissident ? Who has the turn

Diss got the wrong turn. Whoever sent it to him should resend.

[Adagio]

Isn't it Ananias' turn? Isn't he the player just before Dissident? And dissident got a wrong save...

[Ananias]

try again

I did resend the turn, I just sent it a third time. I'm posting it here too.

In the future, please, please, please PM or e-mail me. Problems get solved a lot quicker that way.

game played under 1.14f

Yeah, it helps to send an email... I never check this thread, for anything else than posting the "sent..." post

[Dis]

I got the 1100 BC turn resent.

I already have one of those on my hard drive, and I believe I sent it off

edit: actually that should work. I was able to save it before. Just had a problem opening it.

[Dis]

well this is weird. this is the same problem I had before.

I save it in the folder. But when I go to load the game, the file doesn't show up- even though I saved it successfuly.

I tried loading from the main menu and the multiplayer menu.

Dissident, maybe forward your turn to someone else (e.g. ADG or someone you trust), give him the password and instructions on how to complete the turn ?

I had similar problem in another PBEM game, i couldnt get one turn loaded no matter what i did - and the person whom i asked to play the turn for me had no problems. Maybe try this out ?

[Ananias]

I'm sorry guys, I'm bailing.

I apologize because I know its a pain to find somebody else, but my life is unexpectadly a lot busier than it was 4 months ago and its something I'd rather be doing than spending my time trying to figure out patches and .sav files.

I've sent an email to jshelr (the player right before me) giving him my password so he can make my turn for me so the game can keep moving.

Again, I apologize, but the days are getting prettier and the game is getting cumbersome.

Maybe it would be better to send the turn + PW to someone not playing this game... try to check out the other PBEM threads, and ask there...
