Turn 109 (175 BC) to Andydog.

[Andydog]

Can't open the save. Had this with all my Civ4 and Warlords PBEMs so far.

[Andydog]

Okay, apparently here is the fix.

The saves are the same.. it is just that the patch version gets embedded into locked games.. and since most pbem games use an admin password, they are locked..

What you need to do is open the game in unpatched (well, patched to 1.61 / 2.08 ) game, remove the admin password.. patch.. and then open the save again and readd the admin password

- open game to where you can play
- hit shift-alt-d
- enter the admin password, press ok
- delete all the **** in the password field
- press ok
- save game
- patch up game
- load the last saved game
- hit shift-alt-d
- put the admin password back into the password field
- press ok
(- save if you like)
- end turn

So Keygen, you need to patch the game to the previous version and follow the above steps.

Good luck!

So what's happening about this game then. Keygen, are you around?

Andy - I presume th admin for each game does this - or we pass the admin password to some lucky volunteer.

I am asking because most other pbems are also now tied up.
