When starting a multiplayer game using UK version we cannot get beyond first turn.
On "Simultaneous Moves" the game hangs with both machines saying "Turn Complete" / press Enter / "Waiting for Others"... in an endless loop.
On non-Simultaneous moves at the end of the second player's first turn, the game hangs at "Turn Complete"... never goes on to the second turn.
These are connected through IPX on a LAN... the network works fine for Civ2, AoE, Gettysburg etc.
Very frustrating!

Try v2.0 when it's available for foreign versions (shortly).

OK - was hoping to waste Sunday on our first MP game

My friends and I are having a similar problem, but we get anywhere from 4 to 15 or so before it freezes in waiting for others. We have upgraded to new version. That did not help at all, or if it did it only made it take a little longer to freeze up. This is very disappointing. EA will be getting 4 copies returned!
