Posting the following msg for the guys from the anonymous diplo game (they're anonymous, so that's why they can't post it themselves
)
any help is appreciated!
People, do you have any theories as to why a person might have difficulties joining a saved game?
Holland, Mali and Me did a test a few minutes back, after I had cleared my ****ty computer up, and reinstalled the thing. We ran ok for a few turns, then saved and tired at another go.
It failed. They didn't see me, I was in but couldn't do anything, I keept getting a "Waiting for other civs" message and they kept waiting at the loading screen.
BTW What would happen if I hosted the save? And what would happen if I ended my turn before saving, like mali did by accident? Is it possible my MP saves are corrupted and that if I dowloaded someone else's it would be ok?

any help is appreciated!
