1.04 won't load 1.03 PBEM

[Fuerte]

This makes updating impossible at the moment.

Reading the read-me file might be an idea. Just a thought. It states clearly that the PBEM formats are incompatible. You will have to keep 1.03 or re-download it. It is also not recommended to upgrade PBEMs in progress, b/c of changes to arty accounting.

But somebody from Battlefront said that it is possible, just not recommended. The game we are playing does not have any artillery.

load the file using 1.03

save game

exit CM

upgrade to 1.04

start CM

select play game

find the game you saved in the scenario listings

select the game

select email

type in your password

continue playing the game using the new 1.04

Theres no reason why you cant rename 1.03 exe "old combat mission exe " and install temporarily both exe's in the game folder.Make a named shortcut ikon on the desk top to each and install 1.03 for all unfinished pbems and 1.04 for everything else

Where can a download of the 1.03 version be had? I had 2 old games going and upgraded before I knew the effects on these games. I'd

like to recover them if I can but don't have the 1.03 version of "Combat Mision.exe.

TIA
