Glad you're asking! I just got the first turn email, only to find that steam has sneakily updated my game, so I can't play it Sad

Is there any way to downgrade until the game gets updated?

That would be a good idea, but you'll need to wait until PBW has added v1.63 to the server first.

All the players should do the current turn with v1.58 if they can - but don't let the turn run yet. When PBW adds v1.63, as the host, change the version to v1.63 through the game admin screen. Allow the turn to process and that will "convert" the game to v1.63. After that, all players will need v1.63 to load the game file and play their turn.

If you've auto-updated already to v1.63, you might be out of luck and you'll have to skip your turn.

Check with the other guys in the new game - if they are also playing other games on 1.58, upgrading might be a problem for them

OK well both games are on hold till updating is complete.

what happens if someone uploads a turn from 1.63 before pbw update?? will it error or will it just skip them?

also.
what's the word on the next BM? will it be coming out soon and is it a game breaker? just curious if i should bother starting pbw game or wait till your next patch comes out.

You could also run the turn on your computer if you don't want to wait.
