Onan's Speed-Optimized GMR Game

[EEE_BOY]

@Tabarnak: what would you offer for peace? We will not be unreasonable, but feel we need at least a token to show due respect after your...failed invasion.

@E Boy & Siam: the Romans crave new luxuries. We have therefore chosen to offer incense for furs to Siam, rather than renew our deal with the Egyptians. Egypt, we appreciate our past trading, and look forward to making other deals in the future...perhaps relatively soon!

Sure, Siamese fur and silver are in high demand. Good and old Egypt gold will always be there.

There seems to be a problem with people installing GaK, the file can't load any more. Onan just installed GaK in both games, and the other one after Foffaran is fine with DX9

I was able to play both new G&K games and existing vanilla games with it installed. What error are you getting? Maybe Onan's save is corrupted?

I believe the errors people are seeing yesterday and today are due to changes we're making to GMR. There's a bug right now that will corrupt the save file for some games, and we're actively looking into it. It is due to changes in how GaK does save files and our attempts to understand that and make the necessary changes to GMR

Alright, after further investigation this morning I discovered a bug in our code that would corrupt the submitted save files for some games. Try just reverting the last turn for any game that's not working and see if that clears things up. So sorry for the inconvenience!

 

[Onan]

Turn reverted to me, but I can't play it for another 8 hours or so.

Oh good - 8 more hours before the poor Songhai figure out whether we have built more religious buildings of great import.

 

[Onan]

At least, Is! You do go before me....

E, give that a go, hopefully it's fine now.

Quick question, is it supposed to load the GaK screen when vinella save file is loaded?

Or should I launch vinella civ5 and load the save

Oh, probably I need to un-tick GaK in the DLC screen

Yes, shows G&K screen.

I couldn't find a way to launch vanilla; the usual way to launch civ 5 launched G&K, icon unchanged. I didn't untick G&K in DLC screen.

It all just worked, by simply loading the save normally. Hopefully you've concluded the same by now!

Speed is fine. But KYP's game still has some trouble.

Hey all I'm back! Are you still having game problems EE?

 

[EEE_BOY]

Hey all I'm back! Are you still having game problems EE?

No thanks, they are all going well, thank you for great GMR tech support.

 

[Onan]

Welcome back!

Tab, do you want peace? Make me an offer I can't refuse.

 

[EEE_BOY]

Hey, I'm not sure it's my laptop or the GMR. During this turn, the UI freezes as hell. Can't select units, UI responds like a 80-year old man. Barely finish this turn and have to go to menu and then click the save game button from there.

@ Roman: May Romans have good peace deal from Aztec. Just to let the world know that Egyptian military strength is ranking the 3rd now and two warriors can't upgrade due to the unresponsive UI.

Yeah Onan or Mel needs to revert this back to you. I got your loading screen when I tried to take my turn. Or maybe back to Onan.

 

[Onan]

Reverted to EEE. I didn't have any issues when I played my turn.

Maybe saving via the menu is a no-no.

My G&K game is fine. Only the original ones have UI issues. KYP's game has the similar problem. We may need to contact Mel. They may be doing some experiment with the code.

Edit: it's my laptop's problem

 

[m4stermel]

Hey EEE, I'm glad you were able to figure that out! I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing a similar issue in GMR games, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem. So keep me tuned!

The Songhai mourn the passing of our good friends and trading partners the Indians and condemn in the strongest terms possible the brutality of the Roman Scientific Expeditionary force. We hope that the Aztecs will teach the Romans a lesson in overextending themselves to gobble up helpless neighbors!

Mostly though we regret the passing of the Indians because we have now been exposed as the weakest military in the world, having been surpassed by both the formerly beaten down Russias. We wonder who will attempt to invade our ironless and defenseless lands to take our tents, huts, and large religious buildings.
