Its posted elsewhere, but the issue is that when stars write a .x file it stamps it with two hashes: the computer used and the serial used. The host stars then goes and checks that each serial is only used on one computer. There a problem tho: the computer hash is stamped when the file is created but the serial hash is stamped whenever the file is updated(or maybe when its "submitted"?) thus if you create a .x file on one computer and continue the turn on the computer of another player in the same game(who must be using a different serial)the result will be a .x file with the computer hash of the first computer and the serial hash of the second which from the host point of view will conflict with the turn naturally produced on the second computer.
The solution is to open the turn, delete the .x file and save (and submit) the turn to correct the computer hash in the .x file
You only need to do this once, just before you upload you turn to the host(SAH)
The other situation that calls for this is when you make changes after you submit your turn, otherwise orders will sometimes be ignored by the host.
