Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
You could also try turning off the animated backgrounds.

That was my first idea, too, but actually you don't have any animated backgrounds when you are connecting to a network server, I think. But I always have them off, anyway...  |

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Yeah, turning them off was one of the first things I did long ago, after first installing ... hey, I'm coming up on one year really soon! 
I can't remember where they show up either, but it was the only thing I can think of. On my 'dead' clients I've perma-connected to the server, all I see is a blank black screen.

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
Wait, I remember, I think you see those lights, some kind of star field, when you don't have animated backgrounds off...

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
It's really trippy. I have been hypnotized by them several times.

All of Zachariah's games exhibit this problem, but unfortunately he has mysteriously disappeared. We are still playing one game though, Testament of Blood, because one of the players has kindly left a client permanently connected on the "waiting for info" screen.
One of Velusions games exhibited the problem for a few turns, but it has subsequently gone away.
The workaround is unusable for me, because if I leave multiple, windowed instances of the game open so that I can connect, my graphics card overheats and shuts down.

Just to clarify, you are not keeping them open once you connect, correct? You only need to open the extra clients long enough for it to prompt you for your pretender's password. Then you can close the other client(s). I've never had to launch more than one extra client, guess I am lucky  .

Re: Connection problems/resets/broken pipe with 3.
yeah, i was leaving them open in the background, and I also had animated backgrounds turned on, so the combination of the two probably caused the overheating.
