FFH II PBEM I Tech Issues Thread

Yeah agree with novice, try to avoid overwriting saves.

If it starts doing it automatically, then I guess try to keep the saves in different folders?

[Selrahc]

No luck yet?

[Bobchillingworth]

Was this ever resolved? I've never heard of any similar problem before... is the game not generating a save file for whoever follows you, or what?

Went out this evening.

Deleting the old save fixed it. I loaded it and it asked me for the pass for Auric.

I sent it on.

[Selrahc]

That sorted it.

Okay, turn passed on to Cull.

Just to be clear for anyone else reading this:

I think the problem we're having is related to there being no date in the FFH2 mod. Only T0, T1, T2 etc.
As such, each save is getting called AD001, and hence it's trying to overwrite.

So can I suggest either renaming or deleting a save once you've passed it on.
They're typically located in My Documents>My Games>Beyond The Sword>Saves>PBEM>FFH PBEM folder.

Hope I'm wrong and the game starts realising that each turn is different, but that's all I can think of for now.
Suggest you guys try reloading a save before you pass it on also, to see whose turn the game thinks is up next.

Hey Cull, I'm going to turn off my computer for the night soon, but if you play the turn and pass it on to me like in the next 5-10 minutes I can still get mine in

My save auto-generated to AD002, so hopefully it has started incrementing correctly. I loaded the save and made sure it was directed correctly before shipping it along.

[TheArchduke]

Works like a charm now.

I will rename myself next turn as well. Forgot that.

Turn 3 sent on.

[pocketbeetle]

That was smooth

Passed on to Cull!
