pvthudson01 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Can you load PBEM from a person using different mods than you? Also if the other person is not patched will that cause the PBEM to no load and crash the game? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curry Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I dont believe you can play the game if you both dont have the same patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Different versions/patches: You can play PBEM (and TCP/IP) with different SC versions. At least with 1.06 and 1.07(+1.07b) this is possible. It only displays a message/warning that your opponent has a different version, but in the game it seems there is no negative effect. I am not sure, but I guess it uses the settings/changes from the player with the newest version (or probably it changes each turn (the settings of the current player are active) but this has the same effect in the end for 1.06-1.07). It is also possible to play with different language versions (e.g. english vs german). Then you receive the report at the start of your turn in your opponents language, but thats no problem - if you can read german . Different mods: No problem. The host loads the scenario and the data will be sent to the other player. So the second player doesnt need to have the scenario/mod, only the host.

SeaMonkey Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Hey Terif, what's with this 1.07b. Are you refering to the other (not US) versions or do you know something that us other forum members don't?....besides how to win at SC 99% of the time.

kurt88 Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 1.07b is the patch players of the German version need to install if they want to multiplayer against US version 1.07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terif Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 1.07b is patch 1.07 beta for the original version. It has been released after 1.06 to test the changes before the release of the official patch but free for download for everyone. It then became patch 1.07 final. Nothing mysterious .
