Corrupted PBEM files...

When I try to play a PBEM game I am having trouble with the PBEM files. Only 1 out of every 4 or 5 seem to be messed up, so we get a few turns into it and then it is worthless. There was a problem with the installer on some of the copies of CMBB, and I am wondering if this may have anything to do with it? Has anyone else had this problem?

Oh, yeah. I just signed up for the ladder so if anyone wants a ladder game drop me a line. I have both BO and BB and I haven't had any problems with CMBO PBEM yet. If it is BB you want I can only play TCP/IP (but I prefer that anyway).

See the 'Barbarossa in England' post for problems BTS is having with installs. If some of the files failed to install this could be the cause. How did your install go?

Yeah, I had a problem while installing, and I Emailed BTS about it, I should be getting a replacement CD sometime. BB runs fine in 1 player and in an IP game but I can't play any PBEM games and I am wondering if the installation problem is the cause.

It could be getting messed up during the email transfer. Are you zipping the files?

No I am not zipping the files. At the time I was sending them over MSN messenger. However, I have not had any problems sending files over MSN before.

I have not had any problems playing CMBO PBEM either, only CMBB.
