Also, it might be worth giving this a look: viewtopic.php?p=116716#116716trulster wrote:Started two PBEMs which work fine, but when starting a third my opponent got the same error message, what to do? Both have Gold 1.12 + GS.
Tried also this way... but it does not work anyway.rkr1958 wrote:Also, it might be worth giving this a look: viewtopic.php?p=116716#116716trulster wrote:Started two PBEMs which work fine, but when starting a third my opponent got the same error message, what to do? Both have Gold 1.12 + GS.
Just a shot in the dark but is it possible that the game was started with the standard version of the game (i.e., MH 1.12) and you're trying to load it with the GS expansion? Or vise versa? A simple check would be to try to load the game with both versions.alessiomarocchi wrote:Tried also this way... but it does not work anyway.rkr1958 wrote:Also, it might be worth giving this a look: viewtopic.php?p=116716#116716trulster wrote:Started two PBEMs which work fine, but when starting a third my opponent got the same error message, what to do?

Have you taken a look at this? viewtopic.php?p=116716#116716usaRocks wrote:I have the same issue. I have had 2 different people trying to start a PBEM. When I try to load the saved game they sent (in the .data format), I get the cannot load due to previous version of the game message. I have v1.12 with the latest patches (I think). My 2nd opponent had the GS update which I didnt. I just loaded the GS update and still get the same message. Any advice on what I should do?

To reinforce what Borger is saying lets say you start a PBEM game and save it under the name MyGame. Unless you type PBEM MyGame.data you will get the "game saved in a previous version" error, which seems to be a catchall for all errors when trying to load the game. In this case, the actual error is that MyGame or MyGame.data does not exist. The game name is, "PBEM MyGame.data" (without the quotes). If this is a hotseat game then the when you type MyGame it's saved as "Hotseat MyGame.data" (again, without the quotes).Stauffenberg wrote:Did you select the file name from the list presented to you or did you type in the file name in the dialog box yourself? If you did the former you automatically get .data after the file name. If you do the latter you have to type .data yourself. If you fail to do that then you get the error message you've experienced.
I've made a fix to this in game.class and sent it to Ronnie for distribution, because this is definitely a vanilla game bug. But it would be interesting to know if your reported bug is this one or a different one. Just try and check the actual file name before you hit the Load button. If it ends with .data and you still have a problem then it's a different. If you don't see .data at the end then type it yourself or pick the file from the list of save games.
This is a standard game then. If you were playing the expansion then the splash screen would show CEAW v1.12 GS 1.00.usaRocks wrote:Hey guys,
- Start game under 'standard play'
- Game loads the red splash screen with the CEAW v1.12
- Load Multi-player
- PBEM
- Then I select a game sent to me saved in the saved game folder using the drop down menu. I do not type in the game name in by hand. Exact saved name is 'PBEM_FJvsUSARocks.data'. I then get the catch all error message about previous version
- Also have a turn sent to me by a different player which I try to load the same way exept I do have this game in the PBEM folder. Game name is 'PBEM_ray_scott.data'
- As an unrelated side note I did update my pc to sp3.
Also I thought I was using BJR mod? Any help again is greatly appreciated.
