Main reasons for the update were these:
(April 18th, 2021, 16:10)Charriu Wrote: - Do no longer write non active player combat odds into combat log
- Fix server error, when fights between barbs and humans occur
The first one gave more information to other players, even those not in contact with each other. The second one is just for safety.

Hi all, I just woke up to message from Jowy that his internet is broken. Apparently workmen broke the cable while doing something else. So he thinks it could be anywhere from a day to a few days apparently. Not sure what we should do in the meantime, pause?

can you ask him if he would be ok with a lurker playing for him?

I can, but without internet I think the responses will be few and far between. But I’ll let you guys know.

If he can turn his phone into a hotspot, civ 4 multiplayer takes almost no data. I was very pleasantly surprised (both that I could finally get connection at my inlaws last time I needed and that it didn't drain all my data).

Yup. It's just the size of the save file (just a few MB), and then a few crumbs of data.
But then basically any online game is similar.

Yep, just sent that too. We’ll see what happens. I just realised he’s probably asleep, given time zones. I wake up pretty much as Europeans go to bed now with DST. So either way it’ll probably be a while before we hear back, maybe we should short term pause while we figure something out?

I've added a big chunk of time (30 hours) so we don't need to pause and only need to wait until Jowy is back online. That way we also see, who is camping the timer. :P

Re: the update, I downloaded the UserSettings folder and put it in the mod folder. I was able to log in and play my turn, but the game gave me an error that I would crash upon login since the mod versions were different. (A different error from my usual "you files don't match the host" one.) But everything seemed to work ok. 
There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.

Is there no way some lurker (there should be a one or two) can take Jowy's turn? That's how it was done in previous big games apparently.
@nafraugar: Tried the auto-update? That worked for me.
