Simultaneous movement buggier than turnbased?

Randallw, storing the zips in the \savegame\gamename\ folder is fine to keep things clean and organized. BUT, are you unzipping EVERYTHING into the root savegame folder and playing it from there, or just the .cmb file like you specifically mentioned here in your post. If you leave the other files in the savegame\gamename\ folders and play it from there, that is why your movement replay is not working. All those files have to be in the root save game folder together while you play your turn. You can actually browse to the gamename filder and play the turn in the subfolder, but the turn replay will not work. (I think the combat replay wont work either, but I am not positive about that. The game may be smart enough to look for the .cmb file in the same folder with the .gam file.)

Also, there is a Space Empires IV\Temp\ folder that has to have a file in it frm the Last turn you played. That is what Fyron was alluding to when he said you need to play all the turns on teh same pc. You mentioned you do, but if you are deleting the files out of that folder you will not be able to play the turn replay either. I don't think that is your problem though because when that file is wrong the error you get is slightly different then the one you are reporting. It doesn't say the turn is unavailable, it says the replay is not for the correct turn or something like that.
