Security - Player 2 has already played this turn?

[Stian]

My opponent and I almost never use the resume feature and Im sure it was not used in this game as it was only turn 1.

We use the PBEM Helper to take care of save locations and unzipping files to the correct folders and I'm pretty sure it works like it should, i.e. unzips the savefiles to the 'PBEM Games' folder. Anyhow, if the game tried to load the last finished turn would it not just ask for the next players password instead of refusing to load at all?

I've also noticed when pressing '1' that the number of saves/fails for player 2 is *way* off, I can't remember the exact numbers but something like 300 loads, fails and exits ... could this be related?

If this happens to you again using "PBEM Helper" try not using it

As you were player 2 I assume you'd remember starting and stopping 300 times . Right now this sounds like a corrupted DAT file for some reason. I know whe've never seen the saves and loads like that before

Ok,
I ve seen these strange numbers many times while playing SP-variants.
I have seen numbers like 12,456,397 load/quit etc... LOL
Most of the times the problem is connected with big maps and very small intervals between the save/end turn and zip process... I know its sounds weird (again) but the only protection is to wait 3 seconds before doing anything after you press the end turn... (I speak by experience)

cheers,

I have seen it (500 quits) in winMBt game I am playing right now.

Also had 'security' problems exactly same as stated above, but not in win ver yet. usually fresh install helped.

Send me a copy of the game with your passwords if you can. When you start another one next time try what Pyros suggests and give the game a few seconds extra before zipping up the turn. You might also try not running PBEM Helper for a game

Will do, sir. Just let me kow where to.
Also, I dont archive turns, so I will send last turn I have.
BTW I NEVER use PBEM helpers, so it is not the cause. And besides funny number of loads/quits game behaves as it should.
