RSW

my RSW client is not working correctly. I have the new update but every game is real slow in updating changes and constantly crashes and loses all my orders. Any ideas? My apologies, something in the new update seems to have corrupted some players' game databases. Please reset the game database (se...

The latest client patch, 1.0.7.3, should fix Arioch's bug, a crash when trying to send a message. Other players have reported general problems similar to somnos, where the client is generally sluggish or fails to respond correctly. The solution in these cases seems to be to reset the game database. ...

Ah, my apologies; there was indeed a bug in the client. I've made a fix and published the updated client as version 1.0.7.2; once you have installed the update, if it still doesn't work, you may need to delete laughed5k from your games list (right-click on it and select "Delete game") and ...

I'm on it. It's a tricky one to track down, but hopefully I should have it cleared up soon. Edit: OK, found it. The problem was a deadlock in the code supporting santos6u, formerly santos6t. I put in a code fix and restarted the game (for the third time). Let's see if the new santos6v manages to avo...

I have heard people complain about the maps available under the "Advanced" map set selection. It is true that some of these maps are indeed quite complex and difficult to arrange. I am willing to consider removing these complex map choices from the mainstream offerings.

Another idea is this one: http://www.pcmag.com/review/351556/lenovo-ideapad-110s I'm not finding anything in the sub-100 Euro range, though. If that's your pricepoint, you might need to go with a Linux-based laptop, which you could probably get for under 100 Euros. This kind of machine would be theo...

Some research on the internet seems to suggest that finding a tablet that can do this is unlikely. So, I'm sorry to report, you probably won't be able to buy a Windows 10 tablet that can run the RSW client directly. However, there are some really inexpensive (and lightweight) notebooks that should d...

No, my apologies. This is a terrible bug. Somehow the server has confused the map between turn 1 and turn 2. I have reset this game and it has now restarted as servers5a.

Hmm, I don't know. I have little experience with Windows tablets. It would have to be capable of running an x86 executable compiled for Windows desktop. It's possible, but this would be a question for the tablet salesperson. Does anyone else on these forums have experience with these kinds of tablet...

Yeah, sorry about that. I just deleted the recent spam. This spammer is particularly persistent; this time they actually did create some burner email addresses on yahoo.com to register their fake accounts.

Sorry, I don't have any plan to do this. I agree it'd be a swell thing to have, though.

As many of you have no doubt noticed by now, the downtime was considerably more than 20 minutes--my server was down for over 24 hours. Please accept my apologies. I'm starting to investigate alternate server providers now.

Heads up players, I just got this email from my server's hosting provider. Confusingly, I received it on 11/16/16, but it says the downtime will be "tonight, 11/17/16". So I guess it will be down either tonight or tomorrow. Mostly this shouldn't affect players unless your game turn happens...

I've just instituted a new policy to attempt to cut down on the recent spate of obnoxious spam: now, users need to associate a valid email address with their account before being allow to post in the forums. I'm pretty sure that won't adversely impact anyone here, and it should do a lot to discourag...

Ah, good news! Well, I'll keep the Mac version online then, as it is, even though it's such a nuisance to install.
