Good question. I figured to finish my games first before I update, but I don't know really. RE: JTCS 2.0 Upgrade is this Mandatory ?? - Crossroads - 02-22-2014 No need to choose when you can have both! Leave 1.04 as-is and just install 2.00 to a parallel directory. A clean 1.00 (original CD / digital download) first then followed by the 2.00 on top of that is our recommendation anyway. Then, if you so choose, uninstall 1.04 at a later time. RE: JTCS 2.0 Upgrade is this Mandatory ?? - berto - 02-22-2014 Both PBEM players have to be on the same page, the same game version, because otherwise the PBEM file formats will differ, and the player with 1.04 won't be able to read the 2.00 player's turn. If in doubt, finish your current game(s) with 1.04. And do a fresh install from original medium, with a different name (e.g., "John Tiller's Campaign Series2.00"), then run the 2.00 update installer on that new installation. With now two independent game installations, you will be all set for new PBEM contests, while still able to finish the old. ... >edit: Petri, we have to stop meeting/simul-posting like this.  I like your answers better. They're shorter.

RE: JTCS 2.0 Upgrade is this Mandatory ?? - Von Earlmann - 02-22-2014 signing off RE: JTCS 2.0 Upgrade is this Mandatory ?? - David G - 02-22-2014 Ok, supposing both players have a 2.00 installation. There is an old 1.04 game sitting with one of the players. Will the 1.04 game open in one of the players' 2.00, and then somehow convert? The thrust of the comments so far that both players must be patched to the same version implies that 2.00 will reject a 1.04 file. (But I am just speculating....) In other words do we, who have 1.04 games going, have to have two versions of the game installed? David RE: JTCS 2.0 Upgrade is this Mandatory ?? - berto - 02-22-2014 It should be the case that 2.00 will read 1.04 files, but not vice versa. So, yes, with 2.00, you should be able to read in 1.04 files, no problem. But then they get converted to the new 2.00 standard when saved anew. That is why your opponent needs to have 2.00 to proceed. Having said that, better safe than sorry? Better to continue playing out your current game(s) with both players remaining on 1.04? I don't want players flaming me if something goes wrong.

That is why your opponent needs to have 2.00 to proceed. Agreed, but I have an opponent who has moved solely to 2.00. And I share the view of another poster that I don't want two installs of the same game. Hard drive capacity isn't an issue these days, but time/hassle are. But thanks for the response, helpful.
