I'm in the same boat as other people in this thread... i've had the 1.14 patch since it was released, but was just able to try my first multiplayer with it today. First game, gave me the infamous sync error. Then i got in a game and the speed was fine but eventually froze on me. I haven't been able to host or get in a game that doesn't crash since then... I've rebooted many times.... I have tried giving my comp Red Bull and I've even tried to feed it cat food. Nothing seems to help.

I've had this problem as well mine has to do with a router issue but Firaxis has promised to release a third patch to resolve all remaining MP issues (please god please) So my best advice would be to pratice in SP and wait for the patches then kick a little butt.
So. does this mean if you could set the default settings to what you really want to play the game at - this would be a temporary work-around?
This problem is driving me nuts!
Does anyone know how to change the defaults - is there a text file somewhere that could be edited?
cheers for any info

I am going to attempt to get around this major bug as as soon as i get home from school.

I tried again last night and noticed a curious thing:
If you go to a normal single player game (new game) and set the level up as say Monarch, then exit the game, start a multi player game as hotseat - it goes to monarch level.
I didn't get a chance to fully test this phenomenon but it would seem this is a temporary work around - would be cool if some of you could check this out!
Also - a quick question - am I the only one to get repeated and seemingly unavoidable illegal operations all the time or have I just got a dodgy Direct X setup or something - it would seem that every other time I want to play PTW, the game crashes (just after the preparation timer reaches 100% before the Multi Player screen comes up)
Let's just say I can't wait for the next patch.
cheers

You're part of us: the dial-up gang. We are the infamous ones that can rule the world over AOL! j/kAnyway, if it took you 43 min. to download it your connection must be slower than mine. I estimate that it would take about 30 min. to download the 6 MB patch. Unless it was more than 6MB...was it?

i thought it was 9 Mb download

Well if it was 9MB (although I thought different) then it's probably pretty right - it would take an hour. Dial-up is like that...I calculated that if I wanted to download something from Kazaa that was 150MB, it would take me about thirteen hours...

I had a dailup, once...
Once I tried to renegotiate a trade w a player that still existed but was going to expire that turn, so when I clicked to renegoitiate, the game crashed.
