MP Game - RewriteHistory - 18civ EARTH map historical start position

[zenspiderz]

ok Indiansmoke is at war. sorry I didn't realise. I will find the recovery file mentioned by whiplash and relaod that ok?

EDIT

Game reloaded beginning of 3425bc turn.

 

[whiplash_CDC]

game is down.

 

[classical_hero]

I can't conect either.

 

[Ulfang]

OK sorry about the server being inaccessible. I assume an ISP problem. Unfortunatly when I checked on it I found that the turn was 3 hours from completion but had probably been inaccessible for 8 hours or more. Lots of you probably couldn't make your turn. Unfortunartly I haven't been savig the game regularly so the last save is the one I made when I noticed I was disconnected from the internet... oops sorry!

So if I reload the turn it will be at the same position as when I noticed it disconnected. So I am disinclined to reload the turn again as it won't help much. Everyone should have queued builds and research so I can't see that anyone has lost anything except a warrior move in not being able to connect. Am I wrong?

Rest assured I have learnt my lesson and from now on I will save the game every time I play my turn or am otherwise connected to internet. ok?

It's a learning process

I can't connect at the moment either but will wait an hour or two and see if it's fixed. Can't be helped.

 

[Provolution]

Yeah, make sure you fix that ISP problem asap, as it may ruin this game!

 

[zenspiderz]

Someone tell me exactly where they fail to connect.

As far as I can tell I now have connectivity. So I don't know why anyone can't connect.

 

[Ulfang]

Mine failt to connect. When I enter the password (game password not my password for the Romans) it tries continously to connect but can't until it times out just like it did when you were having the IPS problems. Maybe the rollback has created a problem? Assuming you've reverted to a previous save already? I tried to log in about 3 mins ago and was the same problem.

 

[zenspiderz]

I think the problem might be with my hamachi networks. So I will delete the BTS-earth networks and make 2 new ones.

BTS-history (password - history)

AND

BTS-history1 (password - history)


Please join one of these two networks then log into directip using the same ip as before

EDIT - this hasn't fixed problem.

So game is temporarily frozen until connectivity issue is resolved

EDIT

Issue may now be fixed but I need someone to test by trying to connect.

Ottoman reporting; connecting via BTS-history works just fine for me.

 

[mikeyia]

Had to rejoin the Himatchi network but the original name BTS-earth didn't exist, used BTS-history as stated by Pexicus, but still connection timed out trying to log in the game. Is there perhaps a new network addy now?

 

[Hercules90]

Same as mikeyia. connection timed out. Also with BTS-history1

 

[adyyc]

I could not connect...

 

[Hoplosternum]

Nor me....

 

[zenspiderz]

pexicus can log in and yet it seems alot of the rest of you can't.

I must say I really do not know what to do... except perhaps ask if someone else could take over as host temporarily.

 

[Elkad]

It took me several tries.

And from other games, browsing, etc, I get the idea the internet is kinda sick today. Random timeouts, lag, etc pretty much all day, no matter what I'm doing.

Restarting the program or your computer often seems to help with pitboss..

 

[whiplash_CDC]

NOGO!

Zen, maybe you should contact your ISP.

 

[Ulfang]

I managed to join BTS-history as a network and joined it (as BTS-earth didn't exist anymore) and tried to log in but get the same problem. Continiously tries to connect after entering the network password in direct connect menu so don't get as far as being able to select my Civ.

 

[IanDC]

I'm also unable to connect.

Re saves - you should get an auto save every time somebody logs in from what I understand, maybe somebody who's run a game can point you to where they hide.

 

[Pexicus]

I'm the only one who managed to connect?

I'll try again today as soon as I get home, I'll test also the other hamachi network.
