Thanks for reading - here's what I got:
Playing simultaneous turn game with one other person (and 5 computer players) via DirectIP. Both of us have Windows XP and are using CivPTW ver 1.27. We've been playing for awhile and have stopped and reloaded games several times without a problem. Now, all of a sudden we've hit a snag. During our last session, the host computer quit out of Civ with a fatal error. We went back to reload an autosave file from the turn before the problem. The host reloaded and the client joined in multiplayer setup room. In past reloads, when the client joined in the setup room, the client would see a progress bar which was obviously the game being loaded to the client machine. Now, no progress bar appears. Furthermore, all the "slots" which would normally show the various players and their country names is blank on the client machine (the host sees everything the same; ie. correctly). Now the client machine can select the checkmark to indicate he's ready although the slot next to the check mark box is blank. If the client does this, the host machine can launch the game. However, when the host launches, he can see the playing board but gets a message "waiting for session to begin." The client machine, meanwhile remains in the setup room and nothing changes. We tried to load earlier autosave files to no avail. Please help. I really don't want to lose all those hours of gameplay. Thanks.
