I'd imagine it's something to do with the screen resolutions being different, detecting a different set.
I've tried to change both to resolution set 12 in UnofficialVersionConfig.txt but they won't "re-compile" the exe after the change. How can I force them to use the same config and therefore have matching exe files?
Thanks I hope that makes sense.
Did you copy files from the "Unofficial Patch Files\EnabledUP15Units" folder? (Default in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\Empire Earth II\). If yes, you will have to reinstall Unofficial Patch 1.5. If not - try to launch the game as an administrator (Click the right mouse button on EE2/EE2X.exe, and select: "Run as administrator" from the list.
It must be the problem on one of the computers that "Checksum in-RAM replacing system (so people with different executables are able to join each other in MP games)," doesn't work.
If you did some copy/paste with files, I'd recommend to reinstall the patch and see how it works. But first try to launch as administrator. If you need to launch game as administrator everytime you launch EE2, click with the right mouse button on EE2.exe (or EE2X.exe), select "Properties", then "Compatiblity" tab and find "Always run this program as an administrator" (or something like this).

I found you in my logs:
