Upgrade 4.0 and Current PBEM Game


Recommended Posts

First, copy (not move) your install to a "safe" location. Then, you can install the upgrade over the original and have two installs: the old (in whatever "safe" location you copied it to) and the new. You can play BOTH versions.

As to your game, save a replay. You can use that to start a new turn under v4 to create a command turn. Any execution done under v4 will need to continue in v4.

Best rule of thumb is to save a couple turns. That way if there is an issue, you can try the earlier save. (Again, it's a matter of replay vs. command saves.)

Both of you need to be on the same version.

Ken has covered the how, excellent. I'll just add I've been playing PBEM since the beginning and there was one game after one patch that my opponent and I could not successfully update. Every other time things have gone smoothly (and other games that update worked too). With one patch an air plane sound played for the first turn and recently existing smoke textures were a little odd looking. Both issues cleared up after the next minute of play.
