PBEM 'fix'
Posted: Thu Apr 05, 2007 2:06 pm
Greetings all. I'm not sure that this will work for all situations, but I had a Header file load error on a recent game, and was unable to click the Load Secure button after that, so I had to quit the game. Then I got an error message that the game expected the next turn's file, not the one I was trying to load.
So I deleted EVERY file in the SaveEmail folder and subfolders except one file called 'default' after saving all files to a separate folder just in case, and tried to reload the game from the .bfi file I was sent. It worked. My guess is, you can do the same thing if you quit a game in the middle of a turn. Of course you'll lose everything you did for that turn so far, but you'll be able to continue the game.
