When I tried to reload the game it said- Player 2 path to game changed?

What's going on exactly?

One of the players has tried to play a secure PBEM game in a different path from where it was started, or on a different machine, or perhaps is swapping slots (trying to use the free game to run several games in the same slot because of the 5 game slots limitation of the free demo).

Those are all no-nos for the secure PBEM system.

If one of you need to do that sort of thing then you should be using normal PBEM security, which is fine for non-competitive games.

Also - if someone has reinstalled the game (e.g. had a crash and so had to install the game and windows from scratch), that will of course trash a secure PBEM mode game too.
