Want an easy way to play Civ V online? Say hello to Giant Multiplayer Robot! (GMR)

[LostKnight]

The main problem arise when we play hotseat game that are NOT GMR. I usually have at least one ongoing game with a few buddies, and we save often(just in case of crash, power surge and whatnot) and the GMR do close civ even tough it was not a GMR game. I had to disable this feature.

And good ol' Alt-F4 work wonder anyway

Yep, that makes sense. For those playing an actual hotseat game, deciding when the game closes yourself is the only way to go

 

[wuTz]

oy yeah right, i didn't think of this

 

[New Weird Order]

Looking for beginner(ish) MP GMR Ladder games, feel free to send invites on GMR. Would like a duel or two, or an epic adventure. I played very little Civ 4, 1500 hours of SP Civ 5- new to MP entirely. Casually serious player. Can play multiple turns per day. Have G&K and ALL DLC. Send that invite.

I was playing as Japan, and now at games list i appear as random, and cant enter game itself

also - question: If there any possibility to kick player as host?
Thank you.

 

[species.zero]

Thanks for reporting this Slvynn! We've fixed the bug and your game should be functional again.

EDIT: There still may have been another issue. I had to revert one more turn to be sure it would work right.

 

[Slvynn]

[species.zero]

Alright, give it a shot now

 

[m4stermel]

Hey Slvynn, give it a shot now

edit: Sorry, didn't refresh the page for awhile there so I missed species response. lol

 

[Slvynn]

cant do now, i'll check in 20 mins from my pc

 

[Slvynn]

thank you, its working

 

[Onan]

Wacky idea: is there any way you could do a team game where each player could control two civs?

 

[m4stermel]

That's a fascinating idea! Currently we don't allow the same player to join a game more than once, which is something that would be required. But perhaps we could find a good way to change that. Perhaps it could be a preference the host sets when setting up the game

 

[pedroantonio]

¿Is there any problem with the login trough steam? Suddenly i'ts giving me the error below when I try to login to see my gmr profile.


Uh-oh.

If you're seeing this page, then that means something went wrong with the Steam login. Sometimes it goes down, so if you try again in a bit, it might work.
In case you're interested, here's the error:
Web request to 'https://steamcommunity.com/openid/login' failed.


And sometimes a 404 error:

Server Error
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.


The only unusual thing that I did today with steam was linking it to facebook. ¿Could be related?

Don't worry - Facebook is a completely separated thing and can't affect login. The current problems are probably because of the Steam Summer Sale: an unfortunate side-effect of the Steam Summer Sale is that their servers are under extremely heavy load. It appears that their OpenID provider, which allows us to authenticate through them, is currently down.

 

[species.zero]

Logging in appears to have just come back up - but be advised that it will probably go down a couple more times during the Steam Summer Sale.

Same problem here. Haven't been able to get on for a couple hours now.

 

[species.zero]

Yes, the Steam OpenID provider is down again. As this issue is entirely on Steam's end, there's unfortunately nothing we can do but wait for it to come back up. I'll place an advisory on the login error page.

 

[Muscu]

Problem is back, it seems.
I was uploading a save when it crashed and now I can't log in.

 

[m4stermel]

Yep, sorry about that. We just made some changes to the site that took it offline for a minute. Any operations during that brief time would fail. If you're still experiencing problems close and restart the GMR desktop app.
