Cable. Finally got it d/l'ed tonight.
Cable, DSL or dial-up? I had no problems with cable.
It really did take me almost 2 days to download. I got disconnected a couple times. I have 2048/512....in country, and speeds that vary internationally, but are frequently slower than dialup. Maybe I'll seed the patch since I often get better upload than download speeds.
At least PBEM does not work, I tried to open a Windows Warlords 213 save and my Mac Warlords 213 ended. First there was a error message that the save is a protected save to protect my mod directory (okay, there is no really a sense in this message, but it was like this) and after confirming with OK a next message told me that the loading of the save has failed, and the program quits.
That is not surprising if the game was being played in version 2.08. Several key Assets files have been changed as a result of the patch - hence the error message.
Multiplayer games, including PBEM, are typically played with Locked Modified Assets checked in the game setup. This causes the game software to do a CRC sum-check on all the Assets that can affect game-play, to ensure that the current player is using the exact same setup as the other players.
You will need to keep a copy of version 2.08 to use for those Locked Assets games that were started using it.
Let's see if that fixes your problem?
It's still irrelevant![]()
Send me a copy of the latest PBEM filethat doesn't open on your system, and I'll see if I can find a combination of Assets that it will play with. I have the Windows version of Warlords here, so I can check whether it works with that, then see what I have to do the make the Mac version look the same.
Of course, if there's another variable in the mix, such as a German version issue, or even a mod with German language content, then it may be a fool's errand.
