What Does This Message Mean

OldGamer · #1 December 19th, 2011, 06:37 PM

My friend and I are currently playing a game by PBEM. When I tried to load his latest move the following message came up:

Security - Player 2 - Path to Game has Changed!

Can anyone tell me what this means or what the problem may be? Thanks.

Player 2 has moved the game from its original folder or perhaps to a different machine, which is not allowed in secure mode PBEM.

It's also possible that he has the free demo and is trying to swap different games in and out of the same PBEM slot to try to have more than 5 concurrent games going - another no-no.

NB - if it is not a competition game, just a friendly, then the BASIC security mode is probably all the security you need.

Game Guide->Playing by Email (PBEM) -> final paragraph ("Basic Secure PBEM")

Cheers

Most of the time when i get that msg,
It's b/c the wrong files (another slot) were sent,not uncomman when playing multi pbem games.

When extracting or loading, check if file #'s are the same as the slot you are playing,also make sure they are loaded in the correct game ie;WW2,MBT.

Simple way to not get confused.is to title your return msg and files, with battle and and slot number and whether it's WW2 or MBT
