Question: PBEM Fail Problem

[DRG]

Yes, knowing right from the start he was trying to use multiple machines for secure PBEM would have been GOOD TO KNOW.......

From the GG

Basic PBEM security was designed for people who, for one reason or the other, cannot complete a PBEM game without something causing a game halt be it altered OOB's or trying to play on two different machines

Secure PBEM must be played on only one machine, using the same OOB's as the opponent and in the same PBEM save slot

Ask whoever it is you are playing to decide which machine he wants to use or move to basic security

Also from the GG

if you want ( or need ) to be able to play on two machines ........then BASIC security may be for you.
