Mercury Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I've yet to play CM:SF as a PBEM but I've been sent a file to start a QB for the first time, yet whenever I try to download it my laptop says it is a .LNK file and won't let me download...any suggestion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Typically CMSF will give the files an .ema extension. Do you know what email client and/or service your opponent is using ? It or your email client/service is renaming the files and I'm guessing your anti-virus or email client is objecting to the .lnk extension. Depending on what sort of email client/service or anti-virus you're using, you could configure it to download the .lnk file(s). Some are harder than others to reconfigure in this regard (such as Microsoft Outlook, which some versions require registry editing to change this behavior). Another, and perhaps better, option is to have your opponent .zip/compress the file and send it to you. While this probably won't save any space/size on the file, it should keep it intact (including its name). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
