The Pitboss connection thread

[snoopy369]

Oddly enough, it seems that the BTSDG app itself was eating my bandwidth... I had limited/no connectivity last night, so made backup saves; rebooting router did nothing; but shutting the game down this morning restored my connectivity instantly

Back up with a bit over 27 hours on the timer.

Thanks snoopy.

Thanks, snoopy!

Just a heads up, but it's been brought to my attention that there is a small bug in the system that requires a reload to the start of this turn. I'll pm snoopy about it and ask him to reload from the autosave.

What is the status of the reload?

[sooooo]

According to civstats there are 46 hours left on the turn so it looks like it has been restarted.

[snoopy369]

Yep, I reloaded at Krill's request to SOT early this AM.

While I was online just now (7 pm ish EDT) I got a message saying that I had lost my connection to the Pitboss and exiting me to the main menu.

I reconnected and it popped up a message saying "player 5 has a different version of the game components (or something similar). Verify that this is a trusted player"

I do not play MP at all and have no idea if these are common messages, or if I did anything "wrong".

But I thought I'd mention it just in case....

My computer BSOD'ed a few minutes ago; reloaded to a RealmsBeyond autosave from half an hour or so ago.

The connection timed out before we could complete our turn and 26 minutes before the end of the turn 124.

Hmm, I could log in just fine right now.
Try again.

I took the game down (and shut my computer off) for today, something in my PTBS games was causing my internet connection to be highly fragmentary. Herc, I can probably reset you guys to your autosave, IFF you did not try to log in again after the connection failed you; if not it may not be possible. I can only say, you all have 48 hours to play your turn, no reason to put it to the last half hour If I am able to do so, there's not a terribly large window for you to play it in; and I'm not resetting it at 4am (my time). What time in the mid to late evening US time (say between 8pm and 12am CDT which is BST -6, or I think GMT -5) is best to restart it at (ie, can you play at)?

Anyhow, I'm letting my PC (and my modem) rest for the day, and will reset tonight.

With absolutely no disrespect intended to Templars, I must say I concur with these sentiments.

[sooooo]

Reloading from the previous turn would undo a religion spread to one of RB's cities, so we would be against a reload (again, nothing personal against templars or any other teams that choose to play during the 48th hour).
