PBEM: what if I hit "next turn" by mistake?

Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:19 pm

Say I'm playing a pbem game as the non-host. I receive my TRN file, process my orders and hit "save" as usual. Then, by mistake, I hit "next turn". Will this corrupt the new ORD file or have other negative consequences? If so, is there a way to repair the damage - apart from scrapping the ORD file and re-doing my turn?

Just choose the load game option from the main menu screen, put the cursor over the line showing your turn and press the 'Home' key. This will restore the scenario to the previous turn in the state it was just before you pressed 'Next Turn'.

Cheers, Chris

Hi

I have always found that the if I accidentally press the next turn button and there is no ORD file, a message box pops up asking if you want the AI to take over, it gives you a yes or no option :)

I've found that to be the case as host. Does the message box appear if not hosting?

No not if I am the host, I have clicked the turn button accidentally when I'm not the host and nothing happens.....

If you are not the host, nothing adverse will happen.
