No...ok did anyone here had any problems while PBEM with CHS... I mean loading games...


in the word of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: DON'T PANIC!!!

Yes, i've noticed more problems with loading games since going to CHS - the other day, it took 8 attempts - but it is problem with downloading!

it took 8 attempts, but i downloaded the same file each time, and eventually it loaded!! Many times it takes 2-3 attempts for a good download.

First - DELETE ANY OLD FILE that you might be overwriting.
Second - REBOOT before downloading. Seems to help for some reason.

This does the trick (usually)... Some people have stated about 3% of game files are corrupted in transmission, so there is always that chance, but try again before getting a retransmission.
