I am playing a PBEM game with some friends, and from time to time, we are having a problem with savegame files.
Say that it is player A's turn and he saves his game. He copies the file into a shared dropbox folder and player B opens it and plays. Well, when player B opens the file, Civ4 sometimes ask him for the password of A, just like if the file were intended to player A to play. Of course, we have double checked that the file is theorically for player B and it is named like this:
Version of the game: Civ4 BtS with patch 3.19

A weird workaround seems to be deleting the previous files in "My Games\Beyond the Sword\saves\pbem\[Game Admin]'s game", but this is still an annoyance and quite absurd.
