Password for PBEM

Post by tocaff »

In my PBEM with Steve we've run into a problem as follows:

I run my turn as the Allied player, save and then email the file to hi. He tries to open the file and it asks for Player 2 password. Seeing as he's Player 1 we have a problem. I check and sure enough on my machine the turn save file asks for Player 1 password. What gives? He resent his turn, I ran my turn again and guess what? Yep, same problem.

Anybody had this problem and if so how do we fix it?

I never thought that doing an AAR would be so time consuming and difficult.

Sure you're sending the right file and is he sure he's opening the correct file ? I'd double check it all, especially if you have multi-installations - dropping things in the right place can be a problem...
Check the time/date stamp etc ... Otherwise, send to me and I'll look at it for you
