major multiplayer bug
 

I was looking at my turn for one PBW game and I loaded up another game using a different mod. Instead of it asking me which empire I was and my password it seemed to go straight to the empire in the second game which had the same number as my first one without asking for a password. I tested it a few time each way and it kept doing the same. This seems to be a way to get a minor advantage because you can look at the other players empire as long as you have a game with the same player number. I apologise for the 2 people whose empires I just inadvertantly looked at. I'm off to work ina few minutes, perhaps I can email Malfador about it there.

Yes, I noticed this in my KOTH game with se5a.
I reported it to Aaron and his response was

"No problem, its already fixed and will be in the next patch.
Aaron"

So good news that it will be fixed shortly...

ok. I would never do anything to cheat but having discovered it I had to test and I did discover one of the empires was next to one of my neighbours. A slight benefit, if unintentional. I'll just excuse it as payment for bug testing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
