I'm back! Very Happy
I played a couple of games on stars autohost in ca 2005, and this Autumn, I met up with another guy on a board game convention here in norway, and we talked about stars and how we and a couple of other Norwegians played a couple of games together some long time ago.
Well, it ended up with us four actually setting up a game again, using Google drive to store the game files, and I myself, not having Windows 7 on my laptop (to play stars in xp mode) but Windows 8, installed good old Windows 3.1 on my dosbox to make it running (ah, the good old days Smile ).
Well, long story short, we have played until 2406, but now when I open the hst-file, I just get a Message saying that "The X are not on the right year" for EVERY player.
I tried copying the hst-file from the backup-directory, but the problem persists.
Anyone who can help us with this problem? I really liked stars back in the days, and I still do (read a lot of threads to brush up on old strategy before this game), so I would really like to play this game through.
When we are finished with this game, and if we don't decide to start another one just after the first, I think I'd like to try another autohost game again, if there are any games starting nowadays, but first we must solve our problems with this game, so that I will not forsake stars altogether...
