Several months ago I bought CivIII PTW. I also downloaded the latest patch. The game was such an incredible crashfest that I took it back to best buy and, despite the draconian software policy, got a full refund. (They could tell I was cranky with their sale of software that in practical terms did not function).
Some time has passed and evidently with more patches the game doesn't crash constantly - a step forward. But what about the reported lag? From this forum it seems there are a few hard-core folks, "fanatics" (this site is well named) that enjoy the game so much that they are willing to put up with substantial lag and the occasional significant bug. Any hope on the horizon that the game will support either LAN or multiplayer at a speed that will satisfy the normal (non-fanatic) consumer?
