Sending Multiplayer Turns

Since Wite is using the Slitherine muliplayer servers I am sending this question here (that and the fact I cannot get on the Matrix Forum- it validates my ID sends me a new password and then says I did not complete registration!?) I have completed my first turn and saved to PBEM, but it does not seem to have been sent to the other player. When I click on the game involved it acts like I have not taken a turn.

I think this is related to an issue we have spotted with the WitE client. The PBEM button relates to traditional PBEM, not server based PBEM. If you have this button pressed you actually start a traditional PBEM game even though you are matched with someone on the server. This is not supposed to happen and is a top priority to fix. 2 bby 3 are working on a fix for this which will be in the first update.

As you have a username/password for the forum, these are the details you should use to log in to the PBEM server.

I do not have the button pushed on the PBEM part of the menu and I am still experiencing problems. I use my logon information to try to access the Matrix forums and I am told I am not registered. Please get back to me on redownloading FOG as promised.

The issue is related to the WitE client so we're going to pass it on to the 2by3 team and work with them to find out what the issues is.

Did you create this game yourself, or did the other player create it? We had a known problem that if a game was created while the PBEM box was checked, then it would think it was a PBEM game and not save to the server. This has been fixed in the beta patch. If you created the game and are sure you did not have the PBEM box checked when you created the game, then it must be something else. If you want to run a test, please create a new game challenge with a password and send the info on the game and the password to me at 2by3@2by3games.com. I will accept the challenge and we can see if you can get through a turn with me (just make one attack and end your turn).

I have a similar issue. I issued a challenge -- Road to Smolensk -- as the Russians. The PBEM was not checked. I received two e-mails: (1) to acknowledge the challenge and (2) an e-mail indicating it is my turn.

I went to the Multiplayer screen, the turn was waiting. When I highlighted the game and clicked on PLAY, the system stated that it was not my turn.

I am using WitE v1.01.

Thoughts on resolving this issue?

There was a bug in comparing your username for the purposes of determining whose turn it was. It had to do with case sensitivity. You could be signed into multiplayer with a different username from an upper/lower case point of view than your slitherine account name. We've fixed this bug in the 1.02 beta. If case sensitivity could be the cause of your problem, I suggest you try the 1.02 beta which you can get at the Matrix Games forum.

Thanks for the quick response and discussion of the issue.

I tried to change my ID in WitE Multiplayer to match my Slitherine ID. It worked, the file became available and I completed my turn.
