You should rather have waited to upgrade after a turn generation & inform the players, much cleaner.

OK. I guess that should go in the admining FAQ.
I did remember to shut the server down while I upgraded then bring it back up. But some people had already upgraded... To catch it on a hosting I would need to script something to shut down the server right after hosting. Often the Last person making a turn stays connected and is first to make the next turn.

Whatever. I have upgraded to v2.06 in one of my computers while leaving the other in the old Version, and resent my turn file as v2.06. I suggest everybody that already played t17 does the same, and Gandalf should probably make a backup before hosting.

I made a copy of the game dir just now but the server is still running on quick-turn so Im not really going to be able to catch the files right before hosting. Pros and Cons of PBEM I guess. If it were a email game instead of tcp/ip hosting this woul dhave been simpler.
