I have had numerous problems playing AC online. First the game doesn't launch from heat.net. Then i have tried the tcp/ip game but i always get a fatal error that says "Unable to locate draw-buffer:program terminated" This occurs every time i play multiplayer before i complete 20 turns. I also get terran.exe errors occasionally before i get the draw-buffer error. I have a p3 450 with a Voodoo Banshee graphics card. I don't have a virus and i have version 3 for the US. If i host the game sometimes last longer but it will cause the other players to disconnect. I have reinstalled the game and v3 about3 times but this doesn't help. Someone please help. Have many friends that are experiencing the same problems. This games multiplayer potential is being severely hurt by these errors since no one i know can get a game to work for very long. The ipx game also doesn't work. I have the ipx driver installed and enabled but it always game not found. PLEASE HELP!!!

I take it back, the draw-buffer error is happening on the singleplayer.
