I have posted at The Blitz (before I posted here) to all players that there was a new patch (v4.0) and also an OOB fix.
I linked to this site (where the files live)and also cut and pasted the installing instructions into the post at the Blitz.

Short of going to everyone's house and holding their hand while they install I do not know what more I can do.

Please take this seriously, it's not due to negligence on my, or our players, behalf.

Since I made the earlier post, I have been collecting data.

Since the v4.0 patch came out, there have been many mentions of error messages re. OOB...player one obat has changed and similar.

I have only one v4.0 (with no OOB fix) game going and as far as I know, there are no error messages. However, my opponent is a Spanish speaker and our communications are limited.

I have also run a test with a long time PBEM player. We have both v4.0 and v4.0+OOB fix installed.
I started both battles, made it to P1 T1 with no error...but just got the files back from Vesku and he is saying that both games are showing this message
player one obat has changed

EDIT: On opening my T2, there are error messages in both v4.0 and v4.0+OOB fix that P1 has a 'changed OOB'or similar.
When I opened T1 previously, there were no error messages.
It only seems to happen after P2 has opened their T1 (as opposed to the initial file swap and setting up of PW etc)

I know for a fact that I have changed nothing in my OOB (I always use stock OOBs) since v3.5
For both games to be showing the error shows that it is not just to do with the OOB fix.

There seems to be some sort of...dare I say it...bug here somewhere.

Games set up using Basic Security can be played by just ignoring the messages...but if the players wish to use Full Security...then they are stuck.

I attach both save game files.
My p/w for these games is axel

If you need Vesku's p/w...let me know and I will get it to you.

I hope that I provided enough info to prompt to you to have a look and see what is going on.
Please note that this is not some snafu due to the incompetence of the gamers...you know that I have been playing this game PBEM for years, and so have most of the guys that are recording these issues.
