I will place a subdirectory with the ord files, so if you want see the replay with your sav file, before use my sav file, you can.

[Altaris]

ok, so carrot Russia,poweraxe France, Altaris do you want Germany? for me is the same.

I am not signed up for this game. Wasn't RGA your other player?

[Mitra]

Yes sorry I did a mistake writing

[RGA]

What's happening ? Are we ok to start ?

[Mitra]

Waiting the other two ord files

[Mitra]

still missing one

[Mitra]

placed the saved game of first turn in the directory; in the backup directory you find the ord turn if you want test the processed turn with your save game, before use mine.

[RGA]

Seemed to go ok. The only thing for France and Russia to note is to make the adjustment to the host.sav file so they can draw their events.

Change EventsDrawn to equal No. I posted this in the main forumn and Calvinus is taking a look to put a fix in

I will work on the fix mentioned by RGA as soon as possible, I'm currently deadly busy after the return to work...

[RGA]

How is everyone doing ?

[poweraxe]

Orders posted, thanks for the head up about the events, the draw went just fine after applying the fix.

[powcarrot27]

where is the new fix at?

[RGA]

You have to apply the fix yourself for the moment. In the following section of the host.sav file change 'EventsDrawn=Yes' to 'EventsDrawn=No' before loading the save game.

Calvinus has fixed this issue and will be updating the latest patch asap.

[calvinus]

The fix will work so:

a) Game is loaded
b) If no ORD file of the local/active player is present in the SaveGame folder for the current turn/phase, that means that player is loading the game file for the first time, so the EventsDrawn param is automatically set to false.

[RGA]

Where are we with our game ? Just Russia to post orders ?

[poweraxe]

Think so....

[Mitra]

Carrot what about your turn?

[powcarrot27]

turn posted

[Mitra]

turn processed, new save file in the directory; please guys try to process at least one turn for week

[RGA]

Just waiting on France.

[poweraxe]

Orders posted (France). You're right Mitra, we should try to post a bit faster from now on, otherwise the game wont progress very quickly. There's still one order file missing if I'm right?

[RGA]

The missing one is the German one but Mitra doesn't put this in the dropbox.

[Mitra]

Turn 4 in the directory.

[Mitra]

If someone of you have time, I suggest before use my save game file, to try to process the bak files with how save and the bak files I put in the backup directory, and after to verify the differences between the two situation (better always close the game before load a new save file, remember). THis will help Calvinus with the desync cases.

[poweraxe]

k, I'll see if I can do that.

[poweraxe]

Well, I ran the diplomatic phase using the files in the backup folder, and after that loaded your save (of the military turn). In both situations Romania joins the Entente and Turkey joins the Centrals. Also, the battlecruiser went to Pola, did that happen in your turn as well?

[Mitra]

yes

[poweraxe]

K, so there's no desync for now.

[RGA]

I saw the same. Rumania and Turkey join the war and Goeben went to Pola (nice for me) .

[poweraxe]

Posted orders for the military turn (France has no armies to move).
