On both Ipx and Serial (that I have tried), I have never finished a game in SMAC. In the course of a game, without fail, I have had planetary elections that crashed a computer. I have tried this on multiple computers: all seem to exhibit this bug. The problem is specifically that the elections fail to synchronize: one computer works fine and votes fine but the other computer never gets to the vote screen and locks up. Any advice? It seems that the voting process over a network is not properly synchronized so that one person cannot vote. This problem appears sporadically (e.g. most elections are fine) but in a long multiplayer game with simultaneous moves, it has been inevitable that we have a game crash. Any help would be appreciated. |
