recover game state after crash?

[coCoKNIght]

Hi, I was playing a multiplayer game when the game crashed.
Autosave for multiplayer is off by default. Usually I turn it on, but on the current build we were playing it seems I forgot to do that.
Is there a way to recover the game in this situation? Shouldn't multiplayer autosave be turned on by default?

Many thanks!

For practical purposes, no.

Shouldn't multiplayer autosave be turned on by default?

Seems reasonable... I don't see any reason why it should default to off.

It probably was switched to default off because there was a period of time when it wasn't working and would cause a crash. I think that issue has been fixed now, so should be fine to go back to on.

It still has problems; it doesn't work with a Moderator mode game with the auto-turn-advance selected -- I get the error

Code: Select all

You do not control an empire and cannot issue orders.

and the game halts and won't advance any more even if auto-turn-advance is deselected.

I couldn't reproduce that...

I dunno what happened -- I had reproduced that several times before posting, but now I can't either. *sigh*

Ok then, so I'll hijack the thread with a different multiplayer problem I just noticed today which would deserve it's own thread if it didn't now seem at risk of miraculously resolving itself while I post: I can't get the multiplayer Galaxy Setup dropdown boxes for Monster Frequency, Native Frequency, and Max AI Aggression to work. The ones above them work fine, and in the Single Player setup screen they all work fine -- does that happen to you as well or no?

Confirmed for me. My guess is that it's related to this commit: https://sourceforge.net/p/freeorion/code/7267/

Caused by https://sourceforge.net/p/freeorion/code/7270/ ; fixed in https://sourceforge.net/p/freeorion/code/7310/

The parent container were smaller than the area where are the child drop down lists are rendered and therefor not passing any input events to the drop down lists.
