Trouble upgrading a PBW game to BM 1.09pbw |
Two player game. We've been playing SEV version 1.35, BM 1.08, up until the latest turn.
We had the PBW admins upgrade us to SEV 1.58/BM 1.09pbw, and we both submitted our turns under the old versions.
I unzipped the BM 1.09pbs zip file, and let it overwrite the existing files in the BM 1.05+ directory.
The subsequent turn file, when highlighted in the "Load Game" menu of SEV, indicates SEV 1.58 and BM version 1.05. However upon loading, I got the error message indicating that the data files I have do not match the data files the game was created with.
Then, I tried completely deleting the BM directory and just doing a fresh unzipping of the BM 1.09pbw zip file. Now, when I try to load the game, it flat out just says it cannot load the .gam file.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated. This is a long game, past turn 130, and we'd really like to continue playing it. However at the moment, we are totally unable to load the game.
Do I need a "normal" BM 1.09 zip file to unzip first, and THEN unzip/overwrite using the 1.09pbw file? If so, where can I get the BM 1.09 zip file?
Thanks!
