The new Windows app has a streamlined interface, and automatically downloads and uploads your saves. This means the process for playing your turns is a little different. Here's how it goes:

  1. When it's your turn, you'll get a notification in Windows. At this point, your turn is already downloaded and ready to play
  2. Launch Civ V, go to Multiplayer -> Hot Seat -> Load Game. Any game where it's your turn will be listed as "(MR) <game name here>". You can launch Civ V from within the MR Windows App by clicking on the green Civ V icon wherever you see it.
  3. Play your turn, then save when it's on the screen for the next player. Multiplayer Robot will automatically pick up the file and upload it behind the scenes

And that's all there is to it!

Also, the Windows app does have a few unfinished spots. There's buttons for private messages and notifications, but neither are wired up yet. We also don't have any interface for modifying your desktop app settings just yet.
