IMPORTANT MESSAGE for PBW players and owners regarding 1.84.

[geoschmo]

If you have a game started in 1.78 that you are converting to 1.84 it's very important that you do things in the correct order or the AI will be taking your turn for you. It's more critical then past Versions, and I will explain why.

WARNING
You as a player are able to take a .gam file processed in 1.78 and open it using 1.84 and play your turn. You will not get an error doing so, BUT DO NOT DO THIS. If you do this when the host (PBW) tries to process the turn using 1.84 it will reject your .plr files because they were not created using the same Version of the game as the .gam file.

With previous patches if you opened a .gam file created under the eralier Version you got an error message. You do not get that with this Version. This might lead you to believe it is ok to play your turn using 1.84. This is incorrect.

You have to play your turn using the Version that the host (PBW) used for the LAST turn (the one just processed), not the next turn (the one about to process).
