Just FYI I got some error dialog box messages at the end of my turn in PBEM which have apparently resolved.

First message game impossible to upload
second message PBEM error wrong turn
Game appears to have been saved on PBEM server however as it has my opponent listed under 'turn to player' and nearly the time/date I got the upload error.

More PBEM errors with the same game. Another game is working fine so it appears to be game file transfer related to this specific game. This game is on turn 116 with lots of units in play. As its been getting harder and harder to upload (delays and needed retrys increasing) I may be approaching some kind of limit.

Was unable to upload several times and the game turn 'replayed' which is not really fair for my opponent ( I tried to do pretty much the same thing. ) At this point it is pretty much moot as while I can play a turn with some error messages I can no longer upload the PBEM back to the server.

Play is pretty much at a standstill, will try the turn in a day or so but it burns time to make the move then it fails....

This my depend how busy is the server at the time you are trying to upload.

Playing two PBEM games at at about the same time. This one consistently fails (again today) the other one is experiencing no problems. Both are fairly far along but this one (Game of Balance) is the longest game I have played on PBEM to date 115 turns. The other game is on turn 71. Its anecdotal but it appears based on the errors I have seen that the longer a game runs the more errors uploading PBEM you encounter.

Low turn count games are pretty much error free. After 50 turns errors are encountered but infrequent. After 100 turns errors are much more frequent (my opponent BattleVonWar confirms he is getting errors recently as well) At turn 116 I have come to a complete standstill game has failed to upload after repeating the turns (all allied turns) four times in a row. (during the same period and in one case between attempts I made a turns (with a couple of minor glitches where the upload hung for a bit) in the shorter game.

I assume the save files are on the server see screenshot
