Author Topic:   Multiplayer game hangs

Twice now while playing a multiplayer game
over TCP/IP the game has hung in between turns. While the other human player is going, i attempted to commlink to a computer player. While speaking with the computer player, the other humans turn ended giving me the start 'Begin you turn message.' When that message pops up the computer commlink message goes blank but does not close. I have no option, i can't end the commlink, exit the game, switch players, or close the box. Any suggestions?

I too have run into this problem.
Jeff Morris has posted that there is a known problem with talking to computer players when a human opponent finishes their turn. I believe he said it would be fixed in 3.0.

A few of these were killing v2.0, so if you're waiting on the euro version (probably by the weekend), try that. Some still existed though and we're pretty sure they're toast in v3.0.
