PTW internet MP trouble. Help me.

[muxec]

When i enter internet multiplayer PTW my ping is high (about 600-800) on every player. It's OK, but i think that next problem is related to ping: When i try to start game the program stops responding few seconds after entering rules customization screen.
Did you have such a problem? How can i deal with this?

I have the exact problem.

I think it's because of the ping. There are virtually no Israeli players and the ping increases with distance.

you are correct, with a dial up connection even players geographically close will be slow. unfortunately dial up and MP civ dont mix too well.

I have ADSL and the problem still exists.

Eli i tried to play with m_m_x (this one who helped me obtaining PTW) and unsuccessed. And he say that he tried to play and everything was OK.

I got 1.14f now. We should try a direct IP game someday.
