Starting Online Game Problem

Post by enric_herrera »

We are trying to start a online game but after successfully join and begin the game we get an #83 error OOB error.
We have the same 8.4 version. At first, we though maybe we have a different scenario version so
I've send the three files SCEN00x.dat, SCEN00x.tex and SCEN00x.cmt but the problem persist, ¿any idea?.
We have tried different scenarios and got the same error.

one of you send the other his set of oobs
obviously something is different, even changing a sound file in the editor will give you that message

Alby,

what exactly means by "set of oob"
Look in your spwaw Main folder, you will see some files called oobs
they go from oob09 to oob91
these are your Orders of battle or your units to simplify it
one of you has one or more of these that are not the same.
both players OOBS must match or you will get the message you described.

Enric: To add to Albys reply....all oobs (both sets) must have the same dates ie: Oob09 .........9/5/2005 and all the way down the line dates MUST be the same. His dates must match your dates.
