PBEM ++ Missing .dat error

Post by niki_belucci »

Hi,

had to switch to my old gaming laptop to continue a current PBEM++ game. After installing SC:WW1 successfully, logging into PBEM++ and clicking on my turn I get an error message:

Are there any files that are saved/stored locally for PBEM++? How can I recover the current game?

Thanks!

Thanks and please download the missing files from the following link:

https://we.tl/t-YtYeCMTcXy

Place them in the following hidden folder on your end and you should then be good to go:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\My Games\Strategic Command WWI\PBEM++\<matrixusername>

Thankyou but sadly I am now getting more errors but cant write them on here as it gets flagged with being phone numbers. My computer crashed and I had to re-install everything. I am guessing that is part of the problem.

Sorry to hear about the trouble, can you send me the Challenge ID for your game? It should provide this info when you mouse hover over your listed game in the PBEM++ Lobby.

Thanks,

Hubert
