Me and four of my friends have recently begun a multiplayer game. However, after saving the game and attempting to resume from the save, we find ourselves unable to perform any actions. Units can be selected but will not move, production can be chosen but the game refuses to acknowledge it. The turn timer runs down but it will just stop at zero
Initially, we got around this by saving the game, switching host, and reloading it from the new host's file. This no longer works, however - I was the first host and can no longer load a functioning game. And we're not interested in continuing to switch hosts until we run out of time.
What's going on and can we salvage this game? Is it because the fifth player was there at the beginning but hasn't been present when we have reloaded the session?
