Multiplayer crash - "black" map but options panel visible

Post by General_Rzuff »

Hello,

I have a problem with multiplayer scenario (1941) playing with friend.
We are around round 22 out of 99. He send the game back to me, and when I logged in and choose our game, such screen occured (attached photo).

The map is all black, pressing any option button does nothing, when I put cursor on any place in black map it indicates some terrain there (information only written on right side on options panel).
What is more - turn counter is now 00/99, prestige is 0000 and there is no weather icons.

Anything can be done to repair it ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I doubt it... maybe your friend can play his turn again

We had a similar event a few times while testing my mod. It happened when one of us tried to download a turn from the server while using an earlier version of Panzercorps.exe than the one with which the turn was uploaded.

So for example if one player uploaded the game to the server with the Panzercorps v.1.31 and the other tried to download the same turn with Panzercorps v1.30. Same black tactical screen and missing/blank weather report symbols in the top right corner. And the same happens in single player / hotseat games if you try to load a save game with an earlier version of the program than the one it was saved with. So maybe your opponent now uses a higher version number or something like that.

We are playing the same version, everything here was OK.
The problem occured when I pressed ESC button, as didn't have time to end turn in one go, then something happened.

The issue was fixed by support - they rewind the game one turn back, my friend just needed to repeat his turn, and from that time luckily is OK.

However I get feedback from Support that user made scenarios sometimes can crash, especially those with huge maps and "enormous" units numbers - as they claim that game's engine was not designed for such amount of units to cope with, therefore crashes can happen :)
