Default Re: pbem buuuuuuuuuuuuug

Trying to utilise the same slot for 2 or more simultaneous games is a standard way of creating PBEM hiccups. You cannot share the same PBEM slot for simultaneous games and "swap" the save files in and out betwen turns (unless you use basic security mode).

But some folk do try to do this with full security and then wonder why they get strange results (they are nuking the internal PBEM security registry which is slot based of course )..

I will look at this further. I noticed your save game was in RAR format - rather than the normal ZIP compression format. Is this the compression method you use to swap files?.

Cheers
