Default Re: Player 1 Obat file different or corrupt

1) you cannot "surrender" a PBEM.

2) When you deleted the old installation, you deleted all PBEM info for the game,if you were playing in secure mode or basic. Your PBEM game would not be playable after that point.

3) If you installed the patch, but the PBEM game itself was started was pre-patch, the OOBS are likely to differ, so you will get an OOB error. PBEM games cannot be played after patching. If you applied a patch mid game - that is likely your problem?.

4) If you moved your PBEM game to a new folder, or tried to run it on a different machine (say a laptop), a secure PBEM game is then going to give errors as a secure game needs to be played through in exactly 100% the same environment. Same machine, same folders, same oobs, same game EXE file. Use basic security if you need to play on a remote machine (e.g. a laptop when travelling).

I'd suggest the next time - you select basic PBEM security. It is good enough for opponents you trust. Full security is best for competetive games, with experienced players.

Cheers
Andy
