I am playing 3 PBEM games and I installed the 8.01 patch after they we started them. My opponent has not installed 8.01. When he sent his last turn I get a secruity violation. Did I just mess up our game?
If so is there any thing I can do to fix this. I do not know what the patch changed. If this will work, could someone email my the original 8.0d files so we can finish these battles?

You will often get that security error if your pc wasn't the one that set the game up. Especially noticeable if there are several players on one side. Can you just chose to ignore it and continue?

No you have not messed up your pbems, I believe.
The security violation message is ok, since you two are now playing with two different sets of oobs.
But you can just ignore the message, and go on playing.
The only annoying thing it could happen, is that your opponent will go on disabling your tanks' tracks with MGs fire, while you don't, since this what the 8.01 patch fixed

Great... So then if he also installs the patch then the error should go away?

Actually, no. The result will be that both players will recieve an OOB violation warning since now, both players are playing with OOB's that were modified after the start of the game.

lol... well... bottom line is that we can both patch and play with the same OOBs! We just might have to hit Y and continue past the violation error.
