PBEM patch compatibility?

[lumpenklompen]

I trying a PBEM game with a friend, we're having and issue with everying being visible, including enemy base pop-ups and units, and the entire map. This only happened after the first turn, with the save and exit. I'm not sure what this is, does anyone know if it could be due to different patches, it seems we've both upgraded properly. I don't know what else it would be.

thanks.

Here's what I've now gathered. We now have the exact same game patches, but I have SMACX and my partner has normal SMAC.

When we load the hotseat file it's always in scenario editor mode. Is there a way to keep it off? How is it activated in hotseat anyway? I just press Ctrl+K to quickly deactivate it.

I'm also having this problem. It's been this way since the start of the game, very frustrating. Is there any way to fix it, or does anyone have a guide to the file format? If I could puzzle out what bits go where in controlling the scenario editor stuff, I'd happily write a program that disables this effect.
