Problem report: unable to exit game
« on: October 23, 2009, 09:35:51 am »

     This is going to be a tough one to fix, as it will probably require at least some major refactoring and revision of almost all of the core mechanics, but I've found that in many cases it is extremely difficult for the player to quit AI War.  This seems to happen in almost any situation, even when it has gotten very late and it's time to go to bed, which can make it very difficult to get up for work the next day.  I don't have a savegame on hand at the moment, but it's easy to reproduce - just run the game and start playing.

Here's a quick workaround until a real solution comes: just quit work, getting rid of the need to go sleep or stop playing.

This topic had freaked me out when I saw it, but now I realize that it's just one of those "known issues" that keeps popping up. ;)
Have ideas or bug reports for one of our games?  Mantis for Suggestions and Bug Reports. Thanks for helping to make our games better!

Stop playing?!? I think that's a bit too of an extreme reaction to such a minor "flaw" in the game! :)

Well it may be a while before a fix is implemented for this, but in the mean time I have a quick workaround. Caffeine seems to prolong the problem from popping up, but it can't help forever, so use it as a temporary fix until something more permanent comes around.
