There are a number of OOB changes in the CD version so the OOB's will differ. We had originally planned to issue a patch to upgrade the DL version OOB etc the day the CD was issued but the patch has now grown considerably and is still growing. When it is issued it will upgrade EVERYONE'S game ( DL and CD )

The workaround for PBEM is simple. ( so yes, you CAN PBEM between the two versions )

Decide who's OOB's you are going to use with your opponent.
Zip them up and when you get them unzip them open up the game folders and look for the "Custom OOBS" folder that can be found in WinSPMBT\Game Data\OOBs\Custom OOBS. Build a new folder ( call it katana_PBEM for example ) then unzip the OOB's there. You can then load those OOB's into your game using the "Manage OOB's" feature found under the "Utilities" tab of the gameoptions program that starts before the game.

With that you or your opponent can reload your original OOB's anytime AND load the PBEM OOB's whenever you play.

This may sound complicated the first time but if you do it once you'll see it's not too big a problem. An alternative if to zip up all the CD OOB's and send them to your opponent and have him install them in his OOB folder and Default OOB folder or in a custom folder named CD OOB's and he can load then when he plays

The downside for you ATM is you will have to start this PBEM over becasue your opponent built his side with the DL OOB's and you built yours with the CD OOB's

One simple and probably stupid question:

There is the PBEMRegistry-file in the PBEM Games directory. Shall I include it to the zip-package with DAT and CMT files I am sending to my opponent?

No, that file is not in the list of files to be sent mentioned in the manual.

You only send the CMT and DAT file pair.

It was added in for an idea that we didn't end up using but may someday
