Multiplayer Broken?

[Webrider]

Playing 2.8 with hotfix 3. The 471M version. Playing as the client everytime I attack a barb animal or unit there is an immediate OOS. I don't know if that would hold true to another civ but I suspect it would. This is 100% we tried 3 different games.

This is a known issue, if you look in the RoM Multiplayer subforum, there is some information on possible workarounds.

So 2.8 plus hot fix is not playable multiplayer.

If you want to play they suggest the 2.8 beta but where do you find 2.8 beta. Their other suggestion is waiting for 2.9 which goes back to the circular 2.8 is unplayable multiplayer.

This thread is the workaround I mentioned, basically running 2.8 with the dll from 2.71. I have not tried this, but more than one person apparently reports it working.
