New Problem 2: Multiplayer issue

Hi

I am trying to play a turn in my multiplayer que.

When I access "ANY" turn in my que a pop up window indicates the turn is downloading, then the download window disappears and then the game hangs.

If I click any where on the screen a "Windows box opens asking if I want to wait for the program to finish or close the game.

I have restarted my computer and repeated the process.. no change

Thanks
FF

In the new BETA we migrated to a new structure to determine 'victory conditions' in a scenario to allow for custom maps. Old save files may still be using the old conditions, which are not compatible with the new design.

We're keeping an eye on this, but it looks like multiplayer maps that started in the previous beta may not be compatible with the new changes.

If this happens to anyone in a brand new multiplayer game that started after the release of BETA.98, please make special mention of this!

Hey FF!

Now that new beta is out and your issues apparently did not go away, I'm willing to investigate more into them. For now, I tried to load all games where you have turn, and all of them loaded fine on my PC. Just to be sure, are you using the new beta, 0.98, now?

If the version is correct, please send me the log. Please keep in mind that the log gets overwritten when the game is restarted. So, in order for it to be useful, you need to grab it right after the problem happens. Please try the following:
- Start the game and go to multiplayer
- Try to load any of your games - the game should hang
- At this point grab the log and send it to me

Thanks in advance!
