"Add Existing" Problem with PBW

[Jherig]

Has anyone had this problem, and it may just be me.

I'm brand new to PBW and just created a new game on the site Last night for a bunch of friends of mine to get together and play. However, while play-testing my technique, I'm trying to load the empires into SEIV for the 1st time and the "Add Existing" button is greyed-out.

I am currently still running the Demo Version, so I'm not sure is this is the problem or not, but I didn't see anything in the "upgrade" promo material stating this would be an added feature for the full Version.

Or.. is there some idiosyncrasy that I'm missing and some flag I need to flip to let me load the player empires?

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks in advance.

Isn't this a limitation of the demo where you can't load existing empire files?

Correct, the demo does not allow you to add exsisting empires. PBW does support games using the demo Version, but they have to be set up a little differently. The game owner has to create all the empires when he sets up the first turn. This means all the players will have to tell you by email how they want their empire setup.
