Cannot get Game to start in Multi-Play

Post by Zemke »

I accepted a game a day or so. I got an e-mail from Slitherine telling me he had completed his turn, (pretty cool). I followed the instructions, opened multi-play, clicked on the game/my name, clicked play and nothing. What am I missing now? I have yet to get this multi-play thing to ever work for me.

Is it possible we have different versions? I am using 1.03beta

Hi Zemke, sorry you are having problems. This is a game specific issue which we need to refer you to the developer on. It shoudl just work but without knowing exactly how the game behaves its hard to know what you migth be doing wrong.

If you have problems downloading or ordering your game please post here or mail info@slitherine.co.uk with your order details.

For any technical issues with the installer or the game, please visit the Matrix forums, where the development team will be able to help http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=695

Sorry you are having problems but can you try the developers forum. We're not really qualified to help on these type of issues.

How did you get the multiplayer to work? It says login authorization failed and I have the physical disk and everything, not sure if its due to last patch 1.05 etc.


Slitherine, can you make the forum easier to find an opponent instead of scrolling for each member by one in the bottom of the page?

To find an opponent use the PBEM server in the game. It lists everyone around the world who wants a game. Could not really be easier, but you do need to be able to log in to see that! Sometimes the issue is the firewall, sometimes Internet explorer blocking the cookies needed to communicate with the server. Are you abel to play other server games?
