Out of interest do you guys have different game preferences to me? Cause everytime I receive the sav there are animated moves and no music.

The music got old after the first few thousand hours.

@ Kaboth:

Usually I play without music and only battles animated. I've the same problems with destroyed preferences after playing a PBEM-turn.

For this (and one other PBEM) I have a second 1.20 installation. Because I play no other games with this install and use it only for one or two PBEM-turns a week, I don't care about the preferences there. I take what I get from the previous player, and that's what you get from me.

I think there is no solution for this problem because everybody prefers different game preferences.

Or am I misunderstanding something (like it allways seems when I'm posting here )?

I don't know, but I'm willing to explore the possibility. Keep in mind though that this is my first PBEM and I have no idea how we go about that...

Like I said, first PBEM for me, but I have a hunch you're right...

Yeah, I've been getting it with a few preferences that I don't care for, but I figure that the only way to fix it is changing it manually every time I receive the .sav, and I'm much too lazy for that.

Tweedledee, I think you're correct and understanding things perfectly Nobody knows of a way to keep preferences locally?

 

[superslug]

None that I've ever heard of...a second install is as good a way to go as any. I don't mind the animations, but the music pisses me off.

Your quite right tweedledee. I do have 2 installs already actually.

It's a shame the system doesn't save your preferences for PBEM games but I guess we have to put up with it. I suspect though that when the turns get larger with many more units moving, you'll probably turn of animate manual moves anyway. In any case the turns will be long enough to justify changing the preferences on your turn.

Coincidentally, those of you guys who have 2 installs I play from a folder Conquests v1.20 and when I overwrite saves the usual do you wish to overwrite text does not appear. Does this happen to you guys too? I play 1.22 from the Standard "Conquests" folder and I don't get this problem.

Kaboth,
I have the same problem when I try to save over a save. There is no text there, only the little "O" where I can click. My guess is it's just one of those bugs that appeared with the new patch.

Could be if I name the folder Conquests it works correct though. Conquests must be a hard coded folder for the overwriting message or something.

Tweedledee how come I received 3 saves from you?

 

[Tweedledee]

I got two times an error message when I sent the save, so I thought you didn't get it.
