Interesting note on the saved game. I'll look into that. Also I thought I had guards in place to stop bad mods from loading but apparently that needs a bit more work as well.

Hey Guy,

Where are you saving the games? Are they going to the /my documents/PocketWar Data folder or do you have it set for nosync so they will go to the /metalshard/PocketWar Data folder?

I have started a bunch of new games using the settings you set and they all load and save quickly, so there must be something else going on.

Go into settings->general->more and switch on trace mode then stop pocket war and start it up again. Create a new game with the settings you are having problems with. save it. Then exit pocket war and send me the mtrace.txt file in the / directory of your pocket pc. That should tell me what is going on. Dont forget after that to go back into settings->General->more and turn trace mode back off.

If you could do that it would be a big help.

Tully, here you have the mtrace.txt created as you wished, with the saved file (pw5). Suprisely this time the file saves normally. In revenge, opening the saved game takes an eternity. (more then 2 minutes). Very strange. Other games saved without mtrace seem to have the same problem today.

Pocketwar is set to nosync and the saved files go to the /my documents/PocketWar Data folder. I have no /metalshard/PocketWar Data folder.

Something else I noticed in V1.56 is that the < pausing after this turn > doesn't appear when tapping the screen but only a fraction of a second before actually ending the turn.(see saved file pw3). Used to appear immediately after tapping.

In the earlyer versions one could easily see what side owned a base by its color. Now I can't easily see it anymore. Is there a reason for that? For example the shipyard isn't coloured once you capture it. I prefered the brightly coloured bases.

Other players thinking the same?

Thanks.

Its not just the cities its some of the units as well. They need to have a larger area that changes color with the team that owns them. I'll adjust this some before the final release.

I just put 1.5 RC2 out there guy. Can you grab that and see if games load and save faster. WARNING - it will not load game from 1.56. I had to change the loading and saving code which make it incompatable.
