Validation required

I am trying to connect to a game that i made and running on another computer.
The problem is, it keeps returning:

Validation required for shape: starter2.fps/data/shapes/game_characters/skeleton/Skeleton_Fireball/skeleton_DTS.dts

and it does this for all my characters

Valadation is when the server computes a CRC for the shape, and when you connect, it requires your installation to do the same, and compares the two. If they don't match you won't be allowed to connect. This insures that there are no inconsistencies between client and server files.

You can control this via a datablock parameter for any object using a dts with the following...

computeCRC = true;
