Wolfpack Posted June 1, 2002 Share Posted June 1, 2002 I'm trying to play a PBEM with Grimlord, but we're encountering a myriad of problems. First off, he was using Yahoo, which apparently won't recognize the attachments, because none came through. Then he switched to Hotmail, and now the files he's sending are crashing the game. Anyone had this problem? Is it Hotmail, or just a somehow corrupted file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted June 1, 2002 Author Share Posted June 1, 2002 Okay, tracked down one problem, for some reason his PBEM file is coming over at only 4.9kb instead of the normal 240kb or so. Any clues out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Yes i had that problem with another player once. The file's should always be over 1-200 kb those smaller files are corrupted. It was only off the one player i had that problem and i couldnt l;oad my game up,you have to delete the file from the pbem folder and the game should load normally. But we had a few tries and it just didt work with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Guys, Two words for you: File Compression I have a Yahoo! account and compressed files come and go freely. Also, they are only 40 KB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
