Hello i just wanted to report that in a couple of online games iv'e played (and one currently) the "turns remaining" and "victory flags taken" text in the top corner of the screen has vanished. My opponents also stated they didn't know how many turns were left at this stage and nothing i did could bring back the info. I wonder if this is a known issue or if only i have it.
Some other problems that occur (during my opponents turn) are that the screen shakes for about 10 seconds when one of his hidden units gets bogged down and that the camera freezes temporarily when i try to zoom in on some combat that has started on the other side of the map (minor troubles but i thought i should mention them).

Pressing the i button hides & shows this info.

The problem has happened again in another multi player game (thats 2 currently running games) and hitting the I button has not displayed the turn count. I currently can't see turns remaining in river of blood against Texas Sundown ( he cant see turns remaining either ) and also in WW1 brettoneux scenario against Lannes (but i havn't asked him). I believe that these are both custom made scenarios but the same thing also happened in a completed stock scenario "Winter Encounter" where my opponent also encountered the issue. I'm not sure if anything can be done but for me, not knowing how many turns i have left seriously effects the game
On a minor note i also experience the small glitch identified in previous post "Bogged down Bug" nearly every time a vehicle gets bogged

Can you post your specs in case it's a specific issue with your system. Also how you play (windowed etc, and resolution). I can't think what could cause it, but I can check the logic.
Cheers

I don't know to much about this stuff but here goes
OS is Windows Vista

32 bit home edition with service pack 2 with 2 GB DDR memory
Processor is an AMD Athlon 64 dual core 5000 at 2.60 GHz
Motherboard is Gigabyte S series MA78GM-S2H with inbuilt ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card (Also got an unpowered Radeon Sapphire HD 5750 installed)
Sound card is an M audio delta Audiophile 2496
and a couple of hard drives (WDC%&#@ATA or something)
I run the game on full screen at 1280 * 1204 32 bpp resolution and overall it works very well. I should also add that probably 75% of online games have been completed with turns displayed throughout (the bog and zoom issues are universal however).
I hope this somewhat information is useful and thanks for the reponse
