Capt. Toleran Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 My specs -- Win 98 1.3 GHZ AMD Problem -- I've installed the patch (several times). Everything works ok, when I turn it on, the version is 1.01 on the startup screen. However, once I try to open a PBEM game saved in either version, it gives me the standard "Not the right version" message. This is deeply disappointing to me, as I only play PBEM games. Without PBEM, CMBB is worthless to me. It's ironic that the patch should actually strip my gameplaying away from me (and that there's still no Grille models! :mad: ) Has anyone else had this problem, and can you provide a solution? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk-vfa201 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Similar: I load the PBEM fine, get to the password panel, enter my password and CTD with error type = 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted November 30, 2002 Author Share Posted November 30, 2002 Hi -- Would anyone from BTC mind answering my question? I assumed this is the tech support forum, but if it isn't, I can always post it to the CMBB forum and waste everyone's time. The product is worthless to me as is right now with this problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Is this a legacy PBEM? If so, what phase was that PBEM saved in? Can you generate a new PBEM file and use it? Are you certain you downloaded the correct patch? WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Yes, one game was legacy PBEM. Other games were either: 1.0 games not converted or 1.1 games started from scratch Nothing works, and I downloaded the correct patch. Also, the installation occurred correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk-vfa201 Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Same with me: patch installs without problem, the own generated PBEM loads fine (after second installation of patch though), PBEM makes CMBB crash after I enter my password after PBEM loading has finished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Mine doesn't crash -- It gives me the "You or your opponent needs to upgrade" message. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 This is the first I have heard of anyone having this issue. Let me get one thing clear. You are saying that if you start a NEW PBEM game and save that file, you cant open it either? Do me a favor and send me, via email, your PBEM files and let me know which version of the game they were created in and I will see what they do for me.

Madmatt Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 I got the PBEM files and tested them and they opened fine for me without crashing so we will now pursue this issue via email for the time being and see if the fault may lie with something on your system.

Seahawk-vfa201 Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 thanks Madmatt I hope it is not due to the video card as I have a Voodoo 5500 which - we all know - they are no more in business :-{ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
