Are there any know issues when opposing players have different versions of Windows in use, in this instance my opponent is running Windows 7 & I, Windows xp.

We are in the midst of the MAW campaign: Mexican-American War when, a few turns into the 3rd battle,
"Error Reading Battle File" messages begin appearing (either when opening a just-received turn or after closing a completed turn) resulting in an unplayable cpf file.

Any suggestions or solutions that anyone may have would find us both very grateful.

Have you emailed HPS support? Maybe I can get Rich Hamilton on here to answer it...

Thanks, I just did. Had to Email them directly as only 1776 was listed via the Early American Wars, route. I'll post any solutions they provide.

Hi Thomas,

Several things come to mind. There's no Windows issues, but you need to make sure and "Zip" game files when sending them back and forth. Also, the temp files ( ending with .xxx & .yyy) are likely corrupted.

Both players delete the temp files.
Go back to the last good turn file, do not watch the reply
Zip game files when sending

If you do all that you will get back on track. Not watching the replay for the first round ensures any bad data stored there is not loaded - it is discarded with the subsequent turn.

Regards,
Rich

Great!! The trend seems to be that ZIPPING does not matter, but it obviously still can matter in some instances.

I think it does matter for the Campaigns, particularly the EAW series..
