I have run into the 'Blank/Black screen' of death when chatting with another faction and turn ends myself. (As others who posted earlier) NOTE I ran into it prior and after the patch.
Sound, since the patch my sound screws up, popping and hissing when audio starts up. Uninstalled game, went back to the pre-patch version everything is aok. All audio drivers are DirectX certified. Its annoying but still playable, and I miss some audio entirely.

Make sure EAX and DS3D in the alpha centauri.ini file are set to 0. Also, make sure you are solidly in v1.0 land or v2.0, but not one foot in both.

So should we assume that EAX and D3D sound are NOT working properly in multiplayer?

Nope. Solo or MP shouldn't make any difference (except Voice over Data will probably sound better from the EAX supported card).

Wait a minute. The only time this occurs is if someone is using Voice over Data. And the only time someone would use this is when they are in a multiplayer game (unless you LIKE talking to the computer opponents...)
So far, this is the only problem I have been having with this game. Too bad it is a feature I am REALLY interested in. So I get my choice, EAX and D3D sound in not net games, and plain sound in net games...
