C3C Multiplayer crashes with diplomacy every time

[TheRealCzar]

Myself and a friend are very eager to play Conquests multiplayer (especially him, since he forked out for conquests for this express reason). With no small amount of effort, we've clawed our way through port forwarding tutorials, and opened up the necessary ports.

I can host a game, and he can join it (through gamespy or directIP). We can play away contently, and even quit and reload old progress. But if we try and initiate diplomacy with each other, he get's dropped back to the lobby every time.

Can somebody please help, i've emailed Atari tech support, but they seem to be giving me the silent treatment.

Do you have the latest patches? Be aware though, with 1.22, old games are uncompatible with it, so do a test game on 1.22 to see if he doesn't get dropped during diplomacy.
