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

I have noticed significant increase in save file size, several games save files were around 800-900kB, but after the patch, they become 2-3MB just next turn. It may cause submission to take longer and for slower Internet it is worse. The server may time out somehow?

Also it takes longer to save the game and replace existing file. If someone switches the windows and load the save file in the middle of the copying, CiV then crashes.

Hmm The Big Gamble seems to be CTD as well.

 

[Islandia]

Wow Terra Incognita as well CTD. Sorry if I'm being a report spammer

 

[Tabarnak]

What means CTD?

 

[BlueCollar]

For Luciferkid's WOTAW game I have gotten email spam that it is my turn. In the app I am unable to play the turn. Later I logged on an was able to hit play but now it has a runtime error when it tries to load the game.

I know another player is having the runtime error for Gods and Kings Huge GMR.

CTD means "Crash To Desktop". The save files are significantly bigger after the latest CiV patch than they were before it and that has brought to light a bug in GMR that is causing some save files to not get completely uploaded to the website. I've been making several updates to the website, trying to find a solution.

In the meantime if your game gets to a turn where it crashes CiV, just revert a turn and try it again. Most of the time it will work.

Still get the same problem on the *sail the seven sea*
This time I have included the save at the end of my turn, just before I click *end turn* I tried it on a different machine, and I still get a CTD everytime I end my turn

I reverted a round of turns back to see if it helps.

My Into the Renaissance game simply won't let me open my turn. It refuses to initialize.

Don't worry, I have reverted the turn, but the server may be down for now.

Mkay. The other question was about Islandia - he doesn't seem to be around/playing? Any idea what happened to him?

Seems I'm getting this error again when I try to log-in.

When I try to log-in on the site I'm given the following error:
"This message has a timestamp of 6/13/2012 8:07:34 PM, which is beyond the allowable clock skew for in the future."

Maybe this is an issue with Steam, I was able to get on for a bit earlier in the day. I'm guessing it has to do with localised time (I'm in Ireland).

EDIT:
Seems to be fixed now, grma.

He is travelling a lot lately but he is around with us. The glitch won't get us far anyway.

Same problem for the *sail the seven sea* Tough this time its for the PREVIOUS turn(which was fine the 1st time around)

So the problem might be from my side, but I have no idea why I can play any of my 20+ games but not this specific one

I revert further to previous turn. Maybe try manually download and play the turn? Try close any program that is downloading or uploading. And restart CiV for that game.

(It must the scary navy of Tab's causing this problem)

 

[LostKnight]

I can play the turn no problem, But I cannot end the turn. Instead of processing and going to the next player, the game grind to a halt then freeze and I ave to close it trough the task manager.

Revert once again, this time to myself, and the turn is played fine, submitted fine. Let's see if this helps.

 

[Islandia]

Not sure if this is the place to post but The Big Gamble may need to be reverted twice. It's still CTD for me.

Missed a few turns due to timer but as far as I know I'm still in all my games. Sorry!

 

[Islandia]

GMR game into the Rennaissance is also running into this CTD issue. If this is something on my end please let me know.
