I just had it happen in a second game now.
I wont send you the files because I havent used the default path for the install.
Starting to feel rather cautious about starting anymore PBEM games now.
Is it really necessary for the game to lock you out after a security breech?
Couldnt it just be set up to alert you and then load the turn anyway...at least then the player could choose to decide "my opponents a cheat I dont want to finish this game" instead of having the game make this decision on the players behalf.

Did you do any of the things I mentioned to your path or file names etc?
if not - perhaps your opponent did (perhaps without realising the side effects ?).
As this particular message ensures that the player cannot load the save game onto a different computer or path and try the turn several times - then it really should stop play, IMHO.
I'd like to get to the bottom of why a very few players seem to be getting this particular message. It would be very nice to find some way to reproduce the error!.
The version in the patch will be dumping a text file with debug info on a PBEM load attempt (including the current path you are trying to play in, and the expected path for both players).
