Artwork - does it matter

[vettim89]

Larry and I have been problmes with the synch bug and other weird things in our game. He decided to do a reinstall and brought up the issue of artwork not being updated. I have never updated all the artwork on my computer. I just figured the turn executed on Larry's computer so what was on mine didn't matter. is this true or have I inadvertantly created a bug?

Don't think the artwork would produce a sync bug, but the reinstall certainly could.

Check this stickied post for more about the sync/replay bug.

EDIT: By artwork - i am referring to ships and aircraft, etc...

i am NOT referring to the map - map differences can definitely produce sync errors.

The map, game version, and pwhex.dat are just about the only things that can cause the "sync" bug.

pwhex.dat is most likely.

Yes I was specifically referring to ship and plane artwork - not the map or version
