Me too ... also, it seems that it might be good to do away with the feature where GMR automatically closes CiV upon turn saving, now that CiV allows us to go to the menu from the password screen.
ditto on the thanks for GMR

Yeah. What is going to happen to GMR games in progress? While it might be a bit of a pain for the guy chosen to do it, I'd very much prefer to a) try for a 30 min live session to get up to speed fast on a map that's modded resource wise to look the same, or b) have someone mod up a map with the current state of play, would not take overly long, than a TOTAL restart. Its been 2 months!
Don't worry, GMR admin got it ready. The patch comes overnight so it takes time to launch the new GMR version.
Excellent! So we are under the new rules? *looks at very long list*
Yep, the new patch changed part of the header of Civ V save files, causing them to fail the validation on GMR. I've just published a fix for it though on both the website and the desktop app, so everyone should be working again. Please let me know if you continue to experience any problems

Oh and you can disable the auto-closing of CiV by the GMR desktop app under the app's settings, which you can find by clicking on your avatar in the top-right corner
Is there a way to use this new feature to download, take turn and upload turn to GMR for multiple games without closing and restarting Civ?
As he said, you can 'disable' auto closing by clicking your icon in the GMR application at the top right now.
After clicking 'save' the turn (down right), click 'main menu' (down left), the use 'alt-tab' to switch to GMR application, 'submit' your turn.
then select any other game that is your turn, 'play turn now!' will try to start CiV, but it tells you CiV already running. now the new save has been downloaded and the old '(GMR) play this one!' save file was overwrite. That's how I take turns after the patch, very quick, no restart.

5? Oh happy days. I get on and there is usualy 12 or more. I've gone overboard with my games. Dont get more than 20. Its not worth it. Its cutting in to my swtor time.
On another note. I have a game that says its my turn on the GMR site but it doesnt show up in the app. Now I could take my turn by dl the save and I probably will, but I thought I should warn you if it shows up somewhere else.
The game is: http://multiplayerrobot.com/Game/Details/1651

Im on 17 games now, but with Sandy doing a nasty on the east coast(I am truly saddened by all the losses of lifes 
) it has slowed down a bit.
And regarding SWTOR, is the game better now? I played quite a lot but I got quite bored after a while.

Hoooooray!!! Very glad this was ready pre-patch, so we can enjoy it already. Still waiting on my first queue of games though.
I'm still experiencing similar game load / fail to load issues as before. I'll send in my recent logs when I get a chance, in case it's helpful. One day I spent about 30 minutes unable to load a single save, with five different ones to try. This represented about six attempts (error message) and aborted attempts (taking longer than it should, manually close the app and restart). It occurred to me my son watching videos on the wireless might be clogging our 'pipe', however once I stopped that, still got an error. But when I came back a couple hours later, was able to launch turns fine.
Off topic, but yes its better. Wait until it goes free to play before you try again.
About my previous message. It seems to be working now, but it took a few hours before it showed up in the app.
I will revert the turn as the host.
