Re: Cheats find another way...
One workaround to this problem, which is infuriating, is to replay from the turn prior to the error. So long as your email saves outgoing mail, your opponent will have a copy of it to resend and you can try to replay it from there.
Not sure if that will eventually result in problems, but its an option ...
Actually -- if Andy or Don knows whether that approach will eventually fail I'd like to know now to scrap 2 games I have in progress, one where I accidentally tried to open game on wrong install and one where my opponent (I won't mention who embis, so as to preserve your privacy! =) did.
Here is the work-around I've used: Just take the last "good" save that you accidentally tried to play out of wrong installation, and reinstall that same file in the correct slot and go from there. I figure the correct install doesn't know what happened on the incorrect install, and unless the security system uses some kind of quantum-physics-esque "i know whats going on over there" string-theory type of knowledge, the game should be none the wiser.
