Version 2.02 questions

[berto]

So, opponents also have to have 2.02 installed as well to play pbem ?

Yes, mixing different game engine versions will likely lead into problems.

I can't recall if there's actual code check in place nowadays, where a PBEM game saved by a newer version can't be opened by an older version anymore. We talked about this at least at some stage.

Yes, definitely a code check in place. Older, pre-2.02 EXEs will definitely choke on PBEM save games made under 2.02. 2.02 has backward compatibility with older scenarios. 2.01 & before do not have forward compatibility with 2.02 scenarios & saves!

PBEM partners should be running the same common game version, no doubt about it.
