Hubert Cater Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Could you send me the contents of your PBEM directory, including the name of offending file as well as the password so I can take a look and see what the problem might be, thanks! Zipping it all up will be fine. Send to support@furysoftware.com Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 As there was a similar issue reported in another thread I'm going to guess it may be the same problem. The problem was that the PBEM file was set to 'read-only'. My guess is that this was caused by either e-mail program as they may be automatically doing this to protect users from potentially malicious files. In this case I suggest zipping the PBEM files before sending as it usually eliminates 99% of these problems. Hope this helps, Hubert 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disorder Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 i am apparently the "carrier" in the two BLACKOUT cases you mention! my guess is it occurs when i zip the pbem file from a re-writable disc. does this sound plausible?. i work between 2 pc's. i have no automatic zips involved with the e-mail, so if it is on the outgoing end (mine) it must be this. the game mess-up with xediel happened when i forgot to zip before putting the pbem to disc, and then i created a winzip file from the .sav on the disc. all the other turns were ok, but that one messed up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
