Hi. I ran into this bug last night. When Chairman yang of the Hive tries to commlink me, I get the screen that says he is trying to contact me on line 7 (or whatever), do I want to let him through...when I click ok, the same screen pops up again, and if I click ok a third time, it disappears.
The first time this happened, Yang whom I had a Treaty with, had declared Vendetta aginst me. The second and third times this happened, the vendetta continued. (This hasn't bothered my game play too much, but it is sort of annoying.)
FYI, I just bought the game on Friday, installed it as a Full Installation, and downloaded the 3.0 patch before I started any games at all.
I've noticed other video type errors where in the City View, screens tend to overwrite each other...but the Commlink bug seems different, because clicking the ok button works; whereas the other video errors are just video errors, and I must guess oin which buttons to click to get out of it.
FYI, my system is an IBM PII 400 MHZ w/ 64MB of RAM, and an ATI Rage Pro Turbo 3D card w/ 4MB SGRAM.
Thanks for any help that you can render.
Nick.

I've also run into this bug. I've installed the V3.0 patch and did not have this problem in any earlier version. It happens when I am contacted by Yang or Miriam (both of whom are Vandetta'd against me) but not the other factions (who aren't).

hmmm, sounds like an egg. it has not happened to me. but it sounds like the AI is smart enough to harrass you. LOL I love it.

I've had the same problem, but with the peacekeepers trying to reach me instead of Miriam. I haven't installed the 3.0 patch though, (I'm using the 2.0 because when I did install 3.0, I couldn't get the game to start.) These bugs are really messing up what could be a very fun game.
