trying to pm a MP player

Post by operating »

I've tried to find my new MP opponent in a CTGW match, but cannot locate/pm them on either Matrix or Slitherine forums. At the end of my turn (1) the MP match CTDs (several times). I have the most current update V1.66, however I would like to get a message to my opponent to check and see if they are updated to v1.66, for I feel he has v1.60 or less. Where I am hosting, both players should have the same version. Can anybody or a moderator help in finding a member?

Thank you..

I'm sorry but we don't contact players on behalf of other players.

Just completed a turn with another player and it went OK..

But this other game with a new player just keeps on crashing at turn's end, so to me, he has to have a different game version, or at least a possibility. Hate to surrender the match without my opponent knowing why.. :(

Also do not understand why I cannot pm him at the Slitherine membership listing, where it's a Slitherine server being used? If I am not mistaken: You have to be a Slitherine member in order to use a Slitherine server... :?

If he had a different version I believe he couldn't even play. PBEM++ system usually don't allow players playing multiplayer games without having the game last version installed.

That's right, it's the same Slitherine forum username.
Have you found his username in the Member's list?

Regarding your game issue, maybe the problem is related with the server glitches we have experienced during the weekend. It's possible that the last save is corrupted.
We could restore the game back to the previous turn.

I'll give the match another go to see if it is viable, if not I'll check out the site you suggested, if that does not result in a connection, I'll get back in touch with you. Thanks..

FYI The turn still CTD.. However found that I had made a spelling mistake :oops: in opponent's name, once corrected was able to send a pm. Waiting for a response, hopefully we can reset the match ourselves. Again Thank you... :)
