"For Whom the Bell Tolls" PBEM Discussion/Update Thread

[Pocus]

Ok, so some misunderstanding on my side...

It's a Beta version, so it runs PBEMs on a Beta server. This means that our current game remains in 1.00 for now. It also means that to play it, you'll need to hop on/hop off the beta, so to speak. If you want to play the Beta, you need to access the game properties on Steam, then select the option to switch to Beta. If you check the MP lobby, you won't see our current game because you will be viewing the beta server.

And when you want to play a new turn, you need to opt out of the beta, so that Steam updates and shows you the regular 1.00 server.

So our little manipulation is pushed to the moment when we officially switch to 1.01...

tl;dr: PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR NEW TURN AS USUAL.

Kewl!!! do you have a patch list we can drool over while we wait for the update?

[Nepos96]

Played my last turn on 1.00 and waiting for 1.01

[trex1983]

[Silkow]

Ok! Understood!

[Pocus]

Can someone who has not done his new turn yet post this, I misclicked and submitted my turn without my message sent (you can ctrl-C ctrl-v)

From Pocus:
We are continuing with version 1.00 contrary to what I previously said, as the Public Beta (1.01) has its own server. Only when we move to the official version will we make the switch.

[Surt]

Sorry done mine, very exciting.

[Oxlorne]

I took my turn already also, sorry. It was a little confusing but I think everyone will figure it out.

[Joch1955]

to everyone, Byzantine empire is alive and well and not AI controlled. I think I was screwing up my in game chats, but hopefully all should now be well.

[choppinlt]

Great to hear you are alive and well! The in game chats take some getting used to as you have to send them prior to doing a final send for the turn. I would know because it took me a few times to get that issue figured out.

[Oxlorne]

Any issues with 1.02? I jumped on this morning and all the columns except Game Name are empty. Hopefully no issues here. I have the game purchased on Steam and auto-updates enabled so I'm on 1.02 already.

Same here, i'll wait before jumping in on a game with v1.02.02 for now...

[Surt]

Just made the play with Bells, seems OK.

[Oxlorne]

I did the same and submitted my turn. Besides the game listing everything seems fine.

[Surt]

Yeah but its still irritating to not be able to see, how many have done their move, what nation you play, and then the timeout is ... can we haz a 1.02.02 with fixed MP text?

[Pocus]

It's in the tooltip though

[Joch1955]

Has the Court expenses mechanism been changed in 1.02? All of sudden, I seem to have a lot of cash…not that I’m complaining.

[Surt]

You can only see when the last turn started, not when time is up.
