Error reading file!

Error reading replay is something completely different.
Windows just got confused while writting the preview.
Not something that is easy to duplicate but you will have more chances of it happening if you.

- rarely reboot your PC.
- Play open and leave open two or more Tiller Games at the same time
- Play two (or more) game turns of the same Tile with different opponents in one session. IE best to open your Bulge game - play your PBEM turn - close the game and open it again when you open the next Bulge turn with a different opponent.
- don't keep doing File saves, and reopen at earlier points in the file and redo part of the turn.

** this later one has more impact than the others.

The bottom line is this.
If you COLD Booted your PC,
opened your game file and played the turn without saving and restarting
DIdn't open any other apps that used any memory and could contribute to Windows gettign confused, and
End your turn and booted your PC again
... you would never see this happen.

As soon as Windows gets confused through any number of cause, it writes crap to the file from memory. When Tillers code reads crap that is illogical it simply abort and skips to the end of the file.'

I'd ask your opponent to replay the turn I think as the problem was with end where the replay was recorded.
