Found the culprit, having different resolutions for desktop and the Civ 5 game causes GMR Desktop Client to shutdown while the computer is switching between resolutions.

looks like the site is down :(

I am still unable to use the GMR Desktop Client on my Windows 10 machine, it continues to shut down etiher by itself or when the I save a game which then was supposed to take me to the GMR Desktop Client to prompt me with "Submit Turn" dialog...

We are looking for a player to take over Germany.

Germany is #2 in score, still quite behind the Aztecs who have conquered all of Morocco and most of America. Germany has not been in any wars yet. We are at turn 124, quick speed.

Looking for 1 more player for an Unofficial GMR League Theme 03 game, 4FFA Inland Sea. (https://civilizationleague.org/themes/)

Johann453 is hosting, ZigZagZen7 and Scrattlebeard already joined, just need 1 more player (I am not playing, just helping with the recruitment).

The challenge is open ONLY to NEW members of the League:
if you have previously signed up for the League but have not yet played any games, you qualify :)
if you have not yet signed up for the League, just sign up now and you qualify :)

Recently upgraded my Windows machine from 8.1 to 10. Today it was the 1st time I used that machine to play my GMR games and unfortuantely as soon as I save my file (clicking next turn in Civ 5, getting the save dialog, clicking save), GMR desktop client crashes without any errors, instead of prompting me to upload the save file as usual.

I tried uninstalling and re-installing GMR Desktop Client, did not help.

I tried launching GMR Desktop Client with "run as administrator" through the start menu, r-click on "Gİant Multiplayer Robot", more, run as administartor; but this failed even launching the GMR Desktop Client.

(BTW, the GMR Desktop Client shortcut on my desktop is now showing "Application reference" as the type of file, instead of "Shortcut" and therefore it does not show where the "target file" is and any search for "giant" or "gmr" did not find me where the executable is; I was looking for it to be able directly launch from the exe and run as an administrator to check if that would help the issue.)

Anyway, in summary I am unable to use the GMR Desktop Client on my Windows 10 machine. Any ideas how to make it work?

I just surrendered without any problems in a game that was completed. I was the only remaining player and therefore the host. Hopefully, the OP is also no longer experiencing a problem.

The most ambitious game I have ever seen on GMR

"XXL | 43 Players World Map" (mentioned in post #1 above) has now started, in case you want to join.

Players have decided to start the game without waiting to reach 43 players, but we have 23 players and I am sure more will join :)

Thanks Kepos, it started working for me too.

is the site down again? I am getting this when I check from another site:
