Unable to see turn replay

JWalt1276 · #1 September 15th, 2013, 12:15 PM

I could not figure out how to start a new post, so bear with me as I use this one. My problem is replaying a turn. WHY am I unable to see MY artillery fall, and MY planes attacking? This does not happen all the time, but it is CRITICAL to see the planes attack in order to determine whether or not there are too many AA guns in an area. Someone please help. My email addy is [email protected]

Are you playing PBEM? - if so you must have Fast Artillery set to off in order to see replay.

Turn 0 replay can also be problematical for any replay, as 2 players firing is merged there.

Cheers

Yes, I am playing PBEM, AND have fast arty off, and my opponent (my neighbor) is able to see his arty and planes strike on replay, but all I get is a little bit of infantry/vehicle action, I do not see my arty or planes attack. I am in turn 23 of a game now, where I am entrenched against his attack, and it really hurts to not know where the AA fire is coming from, or what my planes have done.

It sounds like your opponent has Fast Artillery ON.

It's your opponent's Fast Artillery setting that affects replay.

Is this something that has occurred like this in the past or just started with this game ?

Is the PBEM secure or not ?

I actually went over to my neighbor and verified that he has his Fast Artillery OFF. So, it is not that! And yes, the PBEM game is secure, requiring a password each turn. Any other ideas guys?

Did he just go into the game and check that Fast Arty was off in Preferences, or did he actually go into Preferences in YOUR PBEM GAME and check Fast Arty was OFF; because I've had more than one opponent swear they had Fast Arty off and then later they discovered it WAS on, they just hadn't realised it.

Apart from that I have no ideas...

Cross,

No...I checked HIS computer with him...he had Fast artillery OFF.

Well = having fast arty ON is the usual case for a PBEM not seeing the arty in the replay.

It could be that he had it that way and then set it the other in between?.

Also - if it was the turn 0 pre-game bombardment then since the game is merging the 2 sides arty, then that causes problems with the replay. Only the one player gets to see any (I forget which one).

Would it be possible and desirable to code Fast Artillery OFF for all PBEM games?

I know it won't solve JWalt's issue, but missing replays has been quite a common problem in my experience. Although it's usually sorted out within a turn or two.
