Hi
Im having a bit of a problem setting up a multiplayer game and would really appreciate it if anyone could shed a bit of light the situation. Im not a very experienced internet user so I could of done anything wrong but this is what Ive tried.

Im trying to set up a simultaneous multiuplayer game across an internet connection with a friend and seem to be unable to send the game turn file to the player from the host. We are using a TCP/IP connection and have set up a Hamachi network thing. We have managed to connect the player and host and loaded the empires. I then clicked the 'process turn' button, then it hangs a little, and a progress bar about player placement comes up briefly (but doesnt seem to complete) and then nothing happens. On the player screen it just says "waiting for game turn from host" and nothing seems to happen.

Hi,

I was wondering if the Unnamed Mod 1.10 is working with version 1.74 of the stock game. I checked the forum, and I found references to 1.71 only...

So, can I use Unnamed Mod 1.10 with stock version 1.74?

thanks

I emailed to Malfador directly about this just before the v1.74 patch came out. I'm finding the same problem with v1.74 as I started to encounter with v1.71. I'm using Balance Mod v1.14b with the SE v1.74 patch.

It started showing up at about turn 35 with v1.71, in an ongoing single player game spanning the last 4 or 5 patches. The game is using a large map and has 15 AI 'regular' and neutral players. Sometimes during turns when I'm invading several planets each in a few systems, the ground combat phase occurs normally for some invasions, but not all. I seem to be having trouble especially with one particular system but not exclusively, as it did happen in 1 or 2 other systems in previous turns.

I am hosting SEV on PBW, v1.74 + Balance Mod v1.14b. My unarmed scout entered a wormhole. On the other side were my opponent's fighters. I received a combat report, but it would not load. And, all fighters were killed! My scout went on its merry way without a scratch. Is there any conceivable explanation for this? If not, then is there anything I can do, as host, to address this? Can I re-run the turn on PBW? What, in general, is the best policy for dealing with bugs? I hate to re-run turns, and even if I do, this may not cure the problem. But, if I were the other player, I would be very frustrated to be the victim of this bug.

Hi,

I am upgrading at present and want to move my SV5 saved games and updates to another PC. 2 Questions:

Firstly, the new PC is 64bit CPU and OS (vista ultimate) - any issues with SV5?

Secondly, can I install the stock game on the new PC then overwrite the directory with the SV5 data from my old PC.

Cheers
