Rollback advice please

Find a cheater and get him banned. Someone submitted a .2h file that was generated with pre-rollback turn, so differet unit IDs.

What could someone gain by doing this?

Thanks guys. I get that most rollback experiences are painful memories, but I'm asking for the best road forward from this point.

Will rolling back one turn and deleting all .2h files be enough? The original rollback was two turns ago, but the strangeness started this last turn. Is it possible to roll back 2 turns without creating more problems?

I know it's difficult to talk about, but opening up is the first step to recovery. You may be helping yourself more than us.

You know I think rollbacks can be handled several ways:

1. Not doing em at all.
2. Giving everybody equal chance to resubmit and thus to "cheat" as it were.
3. Only allowing the affected individuals to resubmit (in the case of server issues that cause a stale).

Because of the dishonesty of some players this is what makes it so problematic.

However, with an issue that affects all the players like what you are describing, such as weird things going on, number 2 might be the best way to proceed unless everyone agrees to just deal with it and move on and hope for the best.

This one only works if you are only rolling back a single turn otherwise the game is likely to become fatally corrupted.
