CMRT doesn't recognize incoming email file - OpenIceHit - 06-05-2020

Good afternoon,

I'm running into a problem with CMRT. When I drop the file into my incoming email folder, CM doesn't recognize the file for some reason. I placed it in the saved game folder just incase and nothing there. When I create a game, the file shows up perfect in the outgoing folder. In the past, I've played a ton of CM2 games without experiencing this problem. Its been a few years since I last played, but I don't think my folder structure / install of CM2 has changed. I have V4 of the CM engine so that should be good. Don't know what to make of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I used to have a similar problem years ago with CMx1 pbem games, it was caused when a file was sent as an attachment but wasn't zipped. My email provider caused some sort of corruption with the file....i solved it by always zipping a file up before email. No idea if this is the same problem with CMx2 titles though.

Thanks for the reply! I'll definitely keep that in mind. However, I failed to state that I downloaded the file from the dropbox website. The DB app is giving me no end of trouble getting it to work. I can't even uninstall it, to reinstall. The uninstall hangs. I apologize also for posting this in the CM1 forum. I was looking for my post in the CM2 forum for replies and I couldn't see my post then realized I probably posted in wrong spot < head slap >. Thanks again. I"ll ask my opponent to email the file to me and see if that makes a difference.
