Has this happened to any of you?

Has this happened to any of you? and if so what was your solution?

You start to broadcast a game over the internet. All is going well and then, the game loses the connection to the server and attepts to reconnect. Everything is on hold while you wait for it to come back so you can continue the broadcast. But it comes back with a Transfer Error and the only option you are given is "O.K.". So you hit O.K. and the game crashes and you lose the entire game.

I would really like OOTP6.11 to save the game after each play or at least give me an option to do it myself manually, but it doesn't.

Anyone?

I guess not.

I had it happen to me once. It was not my server that was causing the connection, but my cable connection. I can't remember what happened to the game though.

That is a BUG for sure and needs to be fixed. They should have it time out and then return to the game with the LIVE update shut off, not just bomb out.

Live stinks anyhow, as it does not update stolen bases, wild pitches, balks, IBB, pitching changes, defense, pinch hitters, and more.

So, the person watching live all of a sudden see that the runner is on 2nd base or no longer there. It also is not 'live', as the page refreshes at a set time (unchangable), when it should be in a window that checks every few seconds to see if the page changes and then do a refresh there. You actually have to slow down playing the game so people do not miss plays and even then, you don't know if they missed a play or not.

Also, the URL is not active until after the first play, so if you tell them to go to a certain page, they can't go to it until after the first play. A work around on this is to create a page at that location and use meta tag or java to make it automatically refresh.
