Given you have been a playtester IDK HOW you could even SUGGEST we don't take things like this "seriously" Give me a break

player one obat has changed

just to be clear. You have one game going with stock v4.0 OOB and another entirley different install of the game with the three altered OOB's

Correct ??

What you don't tell me is which nations you are playing with for this test game ( yes it's relevant ) and you don't tell me if both you and your test opponent have installed the corrected OOB's into the default OOB folder as well as the main OOB folder.

I also don't know if the bulk of these reports started before or after the OOB fix was released and given the fix and the patch were close together the possibility of one side or the other not having upgraded their game before starting a PBEM is high.

So far what I have is one confirmed report that two stock ver4 OOB games are working OK without a problem and no reports on this forum of any unusual PBEM problems.

Hi
Perhaps I can preempt some other questions.

I have not changed anything about my computer hardware, nor general software between v3.5 and v4.0.

I patched up in exactly the same way I have successfully patched up ever other patch you have released. Exactly.

I have one game going in v4.0 which has shown no error messages.
I have had error message since then using that same install.

I have a second install of v4.0 that has the OOB fix.
It has shown obat error for each game I have tested on it. Two different players so far.

Cheers
Jason

I'd like a copy of the actual OOBS that you both are using for the testing. That should rule out whether or not someone has a different set. (Plus allied OOBs if someone bought foreign troops).

Also - a note of the game version number as shown on the main screen for each player. (It is at the centre of the bottom of the screen).

I have just tried that save game - which gave a player 1 OOB problem.

As a test, I set up ANZAC v Japan in 42 and tried a left hand v right hand PBEM, and with no problems.

Therefore I am tending to lean towards an OOB mismatch in this case as a first guess.
