Re: How multiplayer is working out for you guys...
Do you guys ever get corrupt turn files? I was getting them quite frequently when I hosted and played from the same computer. Read a post saying its related to both instances sharing a temp file that is open/created/deleted by one instance and not noticed by the other.
So I eventually hosted all my games on another machine, but probably 1 out of 15/20 turns I had to manually copy over the trn file as I got a corrupt file message and crashed the game. Even worse is the first message of my turn saying the host recieved a corrupt file and didnt execute your orders... this frustrating event has happened maybe 3 times over a couple weeks.
Mostly these errors are from WinXP host to/from WinXP client. My WinME client almost never gets these errors, more like 1 out of 80 turns.
