Game is underway. English Turn 1 taken.

Game saved and Passed to Pggar as "DoT-Pgarr, 4000BC.SAV"

Remember Guys: I am unable to take my turns this week from Wednesday night, thru to Saturday Morning - I am away visiting family. I am negotiating with a friend to substitute while I am away, but if he cannot, the game will stall for a few days.

EDIT: Franses has agreed to sub for me while I am away. The game continues !!!

I'm having trouble with the save you sent me Col.

When I try to load it, I get an "Load Error" message: Not a valid save file.

I have the patch 1.14f.

After you have checked the save, try zipping it and sending it to me once again.

[ColDark]

I loaded you up the save that I sent you with no problems. I have resent it in zipped and unzipped form.

Opens with a screen mentioning me first, then when you click the next screen it opens with a prompt for you to enter a password.

If you can't load game directly (from the load game selection) then try this

At the PTW welcome screen Double Click Multiplayer
Click location until "Local Games" is selected->(this can take a few seconds)
select Host
On the Multiplayer Setting Screen
select Game Type > PBEM
select Game Mode > Load Game
Navigate to your .SAV file

[Pggar]

I already tried opening the file through mp lob, and it didn't work. The worst thing is it crashed my game right after the message of not valid save file.

I'll try this. I'll start a game and the I'll send it to you. If it crashes there, there's a version incompatibility.

Do you have any instant messenger so we can speed up this process?

Edit: The last file you sent worked. It was bigger than the others.
BTW, the level when I loaded is chieftain. I guess that's the famous bug. Lets hope the real ai level is different form the one marked.

[ColDark]

Pggar. I have emailed you with my MSN Messenger details to help sort this out.

[Pggar]

Indians turn 1 finished.
The game should be in Panzer's email box by now.

The mispelling is funny. Pgarr, sounds like a cat. Grrr.
But no problems there.

I'll get home later, and we might be able to play more turns today.

Later.

It seems I have a problem with my mail. Generally my provider solves that quickly but not this time it seems. Since it is evening a solution might take 12 hours or so. Sorry about that.
