Author Topic:   Need some help with Multiplayer

A friend and I were playing a TCP/IP game, but his modem hung up about a hundred turns into the game.
I had saved a few turns before -- is there anyway to get us both back in? If I reload the game, it sets it to PBEM mode, which I don't want.
PLEASE tell me Firaxis didn't code it so you have to play a TCP/IP game in one sitting...
Any ideas? Help? Please? =)

Host the game as if you were going to start a new one...in the Multiplayer setup screen, Type of Game option, choose Load game and load the game you have saved. you can also have a more recent save in the Auto saves folder...maybe you should check it.
Have fun
