hello all - just a noobish question
Is it normal that after upgrading my pbem game from patch 1 to patch 2 I get a "pwhex data differs. continue Y/N" message while loading the save (before the player password)? the sticky doesn't mention this

PS: some more info - I'm the Axis player. I processed the turn with patch 1, then saved, quit, patched and am now trying to open the (japanese turn) save with patch 2. I am trying to open the savefile on a different computer than the one I processed the turn on, I copied the whole "save" directory to the "new" computer

This sticky gives you the directions to update properly. I suspect your foe upgraded out of order.

i don't think so, an error on my side is far more likely
anyway, can you confirm that on a proper update procedure I shouldn't be getting that message on step 6? (i mean step 6 in the sticky)

Hi,

I'm the foe. I have a pre-patch and a post-patch install. My file is from the pre-patch (shows up in that save game directory). If I try to open my pre-end-of turn-save with the post-patch install, I get the same message.

The patch made some minor changes to the map. That makes the old and new pwhex files different.

so this is normal behavior and I should just click "yes"?
