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.

I don't know about Wraithlord's server info program, but the Dominion 3 Server Monitor Tool that I inherited from MarcinM definitely does not disconnect from a server unless you tell it to. So it should be sufficient for the purpose of holding a connection, without any burden to the CPU. It hasn't been updated to accomodate the 3.14 changes yet, but that would be negligible for this task, anyway. |

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...

It's really trippy. I have been hypnotized by them several times.
