Treespider sent a PM to his PBEM opponents and a thought occurred to me. Here's a copy of his PM and my reply. Would some energetic Japanese players with multiple games running test this with their opponents and see if it is in fact the wp.prfs file that’s getting overwritten that causes the problems?

Andrew, The synch problem is: The witp001.pws file that I send you when replayed does not correspond to the combat that the japanese player sees. Nor will it mesh with the combatreport.txt file. I believe the work around will be to send my wp.prfs file with each zip, for each game, every time. I noticed that my wp.prfs file seems to update each time I run a turn from a different game. Forest My reply: quote:
I suspect this is the culprit then, each time you run a different saved game, a new set of die rolls gets generated and that's why we are seeing different results on the allied side, we are using die rolls for a different games turn during our replays. The in game results don't actually change because the game has its own save slot, but the replay does because all your email games share this same file. So try not running more than one game between emails. Do your turn and pack up the turn and send it off. That may fix the problem without having to do multiple installs of the game. Whatever you do don't let the wp.prfs file get overwritten with a new save games rolls till you send off that players turn. Jim
