PWHEX Data - What is This? - 11/13/2016 4:26:15 PM

I'm looking for some help as I try to install WitPAE on a new laptop running Windows 10. My current installation is on a desktop PC running Windows 7. My PBEM partner and I are both running WiTPAE patched version of the game. I installed the baseline version of WitPAE on the laptop. I then installed the patch to get to the current version we are using. The program seems to work fine except when I try to read in a game file from my current PBEM game. When I try to read in a previous turn I get the usual message about the file not being an End of Turn file. I then get another message saying:

PWHEX Data Differs
continue?

If I continue I go into the game and everything appears normal. Does anyone know if the PWHEX Data issue is a problem? If so, how do I get around the problem. Please note that I also tried to install the YamatoDamashii_CloudyDay map upgrade, but that involves substituting ART and SOUND folders and I restored the original ART and SOUND folders without fixing the problem.

Thank you for any help that you might be able to provide.

PWHEXDATA is one of the files that defines the map. Look in your game's map folder. Both players need to be using the same file for the game to display correctly.

Thank you for the fast response. My files were different on my desktop and laptop computers. When I copied the file from my desktop to my laptop, the error message went away. I am double checking with my PBEM opponent that we both have the same file. Assuming that we do, then at least I have some time to figure out where the different files come from for future reference.
