I have a problem in SMAC when playing multiplayer (over serial). When I am speaking to a computer controlled faction during my human opponents turn and I finish talking, but only get back as far as the final saying goodbye page when my friend finishes, the program will hang.
This is because when I click the 'OK' to acknowledge that it is my turn, the 'OK' bar on the diplomacy screen vanishes, but the screen itself does not. No amount of frantic 'Enter' or any other button pushing makes it go away.
p.s. How do I reload a serial multiplayer game. When I try to reload it, the game changes to a hotseat/play by email game.

We fixed many of these in v2.0, and we think all in v3.0. So, try v2.0 if you haven't, and v3.0 will be out shortly. To load a MP save, host a game of the same type as the save, and on the setup screen, under type of game, select load.
