Can't get rid of the notification in the lower right corner. No mods used. Right-clicking, reloading or proceeding to next turn and trying right-clicking again doesn't work. Sometimes the notification that's stuck will change to another one, but there's always one that just won't go away. Playing as a team with another human player, and the AIs are playing as teams, too, if it makes any difference.

Also, the way that players get contact with an AI is inconsistent. E.g. player 1 meets Arabia and immediately gets contact with Arabia's teammate, Greece. Player 2 meets Arabia, but no contact with Greece. Player 2 then meets a member of another team, Spain, and now somehow gets in contact with Greece as well.

Hotseat is a mess. So many graphic errors that pop up. Reloading usually solves them for me.
I loaded your game but the error that you mention does not seem to be there.

Well, that's strange. I have a pretty fresh install of Win 10 Pro (64-bit version) so I can't really think what could be the cause if it has something to do with my system, specifically. Just to be sure, you can right-click on both notifications and they disappear as they should, right? For me, the barb notification works normally but the other one doesn't.

I've had a lot of graphical issues as well but haven't been able to replicate them reliably, thus no bug report. Like you said, reloading helps. However, the glitches happen every time when playing for more than ~1 hour, so it seems that hot seat wasn't tested properly or they just didn't have the time to fix the issues.
 
The other notification is diplomatic. You have to answer it and then it will go away
 
:lol: Oh man, I'm seriously ******** (I mean, I have intellectual and developmental difficulties). Actually, that save file wasn't where I noticed the issue the first time, but you helped me realize what the problem was. Inconsistency. Sometimes you have to right-click, sometimes left-click the same notifications for something to happen, which probably got me confused. It kind of makes sense when dealing with AI players and you get an actual negotiation screen/them telling you something, but when you (or another human player) e.g. cancel negotiations on a deal, the other player gets a notification of this and right-clicking on it does nothing - left-clicking makes it go away and nothing else (no leader screen with deal items etc.). Couldn't it just work like in single player mode? If not, at least tell the players that the rules are different when playing hot seat.
