Every time i try to start a TCP-game with my friend the game freezes when
synchronizing the world maps. When the game says "Synchronizing
game......World map (xx/xx)" the client ususally freezes at 7/69 or
7/44.....it only happens with bigger maps, if i play tiny planet it works.
I have the 2.0 patch,
3COM ethernet card, connected to the internet via cable-modem...
so....ANY HINTS???

Do you wait? Most of the time it will pick up again. Also, what was the number of players and their respective locations. All that can dictate the speed of these syncs.

Well I did wait until the Task-manager said the Application (alpha centauri) isn't responding...then i shut it down with the task-manager...seems reasonable to me
there were 2 player (me and my friend), we are both located in the same city, we played with 5 computer opponents...
