At least for the Slitherine Versions. I have issues with the Matrix Version PBeM - Firepower John or Iain McNeil, Can either of you tell me why this is so? I've tried to play 2 Matrix guys and no-can-do. Thanks for the input.

As far as I know you shouldn't be able to play 1.06 vs 1.07 but Johan is the coder so he will know the details.

The problem is that I can't get 1.06 and 1.07 to work on the same system at the same time. Whenever I reinstall or duplicate the files, the "new" version gives me a serial number error when I go to start it. I have the matrix version, so maybe I should post this thread over there...

It shoud be the same serial you got when purchasing the game from them. Matrix do not use the same installer as Slitherine version so they can help you better

I think by trying to run the same version on the machine you will have conflicts - try virtualizing one of the versions, this can be done by using InstallFree or Thinapp.

Well - I've now got two PBeM games going and both opponents are 1.06 Slitherene, and I am 1.07 Slitherene - It's working so far.

If you load a 1.06 save with 1.07 game then you should get a popup saying you cannot load a save from a previous version.

Humm Johan - That does happen, if it is 1.06 Matrix - Which I just found out. But with Slitherine versions it seems to accept them. Actually, Not a bad thing!

Sigh - I guess my PBeM partner must be on 1.07 beta - Cause I could not get a guy with 1.06 to read my file I sent him. Oh well...
