PTW-C3C PBEM problems
Hello all, I'm new on this forum.

A friend and I tries to run a PBEM game but it's not working so we need some help.

He has C3C and I PTW, which should be possible if I understand the FAQ on the official page right. I start a game, make my turn and send him the file. Then he makes his move, saves and send the file back to me. The problem is that I get an error message when I try to open the file. What should I do to solve this?


Quote from the FAQ on the official site:
"Can I play in multiplayer games against Civ III: Play the World owners?
Yes. Owners of Civ-Conquests can participate in Play the World games and matchmaking forums provided that they are running the PTW executable. However, owners of Civ III: Play the World will not be able to participate in multiplayer Conquest games, nor can they take advantage of new civs, units, technologies, wonders, or rules introduced in the Civ Conquests expansion."

I think the 'PTW executable' part of the FAQ refers to a seperate .exe file for playing PTW games. I Imagine it would be supplied with the C3C install.

I already had ptw installed, but he might try looking in his civilization folder for a seperate .exe file. Try putting 'civilization3x.exe' in his search/find program and see what happens.

Its late, I could well be wrong, but good luck.
