Well, if neither of you were reloading the game - were either of you trying to "stretch" a PBEM slot to play several games in the same PBEM save game slot simultaneously?. Apparently some download game holders try to do this to stretch the 5 slot limit. Any attempt to do this by either player will mean the counters are meaningless, so do not do this for secure PBEM. The save slot is reserved for the one game only for its entire life, for both players.

Also - any reinstallation or patch update of the game (or conceivably, playing around with mods) in the middle of the secure PBEM game can scramble the pointers, which is why we tell players of secure PBEM to complete games in progress before any patch install.

Cheers
