Hi,

My brother and I are trying to play a PBEM game. I am player 1 - he is player 2. We got the game set up and played through our first turn. He emailed the finished turn back to me. I moved my old turn out of the PBEM folder, put in the new turn and loaded up the game. Everything was working correctly. I did my moves and hit end turn and the game crashed. Below is the consoleout text so that you may let me know what I am doing wrong. We are all patched up to 1.70 Hotfix.

Thank you,

Brian

Normally I just overwrite the game folder in PBEM with the one my opponent sent me. I notice you have "turn one" in the game name, but the folder is the same the whole game long. I think your problem is related to that folder name.

Make sure you are not changing that name in any way from the one you selected when you set up the PBEM game. The name of the game, and the folder name must stay the same.

That makes sense. Thanks Chuck for the advice!
