If there is a fix coming for this, excellent.
I will post at The Blitz to just ignore the error messages when using Basic Security and that there is a fix on the way.

I think the confusion started with your paragraph

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.

Which looks like you already knew about the basic mode PBEM workaround published in the post at http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=44539 ( "Games set up using Basic Security can be played by just ignoring the messages").

The highlighted part makes it seem as if you were having a similar brand-new and unreported OOB checksum problem with secure mode. And that is why Don and I were debugging secure mode (which works fine) and not basic mode.

The basic PBEM mode security OOB mismatch error is already known and reported in the forums - and has already been fixed for MBT and WW2. The WW2 EXE with the fix will be released some time after the MBT patch which we are currently working on is out the door.
