    New MR: Instructions for the new Windows App

    The new Windows app has a streamlined interface, and automatically downloads and uploads your saves. This means the process for playing your turns is a little different. Here's how it goes: When it's your turn, you'll get a notification in Windows. At this point, your turn is already...

    New MR: Instructions for submitting turns in your browser

    We're trying to get some help from the community for making Mac and Linux apps. However, in the meantime, we've significantly improved playing turns via the website. Here's how to do it: Navigate to the game overview page for any game where it's your turn and click the giant "Play Turn"...

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    Sorry for the late reply. I'm not familiar with anyway to launch CiV without BnW, but it might still be an issue with something else in the games, or your installation of CiV. Could you email me one of the save files that you're unable to load, along with the GMR game# for it? Just send it to...

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    What you're describing should work. Even if you have BnW, GnK, and all the DLC you should be able to load a save file created with any combination of those, even vanilla saves. If the game is crashing after the "Configuring game data. Please wait..." phase that suggests another problem. Are...

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    Sorry but no, it's not possible to play as multiple civs in one game on GMR. It's something we're considering adding, but would have many technical implications and challenges given how our system is designed. We have had several requests for this feature though and will likely tackle it at some...

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    Yeah sorry guys, our server is getting hammered at the moment. It may have something to do with PC Gamer releasing a bit on us just a few hours ago, I'm not sure. Whatever the case we apparently weren't set up properly to handle this many web requests. So that's something we're trying to...

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    Hey CB, what game version do you see at the bottom of the Main Menu in CiV? After yesterday's small patch on Steam I'm seeing 1.0.3.18. I've gone through about 6 GMR games today and 4 worked without a hitch. The other 2 were stuck waiting on some players when I tried to end my turn so I just...

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    I made the replacement for you. I really need to just implement a method for game hosts to kick players already. It's a little complicated to do, but would make GMR games much easier to manage! :)

    Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

    Hey Gamer, is this happening through the GMR Client? If so, does it help if you completely close and re-open the GMR Client and then try to play the turn for that game first? I've tested downloading that save file from the website and it seems to work fine.

    Sorry for the late response Zubrin! Are you still having trouble with this game? It looks like the turns in it have been progressing since you posted here.

    It turns out your game wasn't actually being bloated, but was instead growing a legitimate amount during the first turn. I've modified our algorithm for detecting bloated save files to better handle this case.
