Ok I've recently come back to this game after stopping around a year ago because of the bugs. I'm playing IC over AoD 1.05 with all revisions and patches installed. Me and my friend are playing a mutliplayer game over gameranger (we used to use hamachi but found game time passes slower using this method). The main issue we've encountered is the non-host player's game will freeze around every 3 months. I don't know if this is because it can't load an event or what. When we add an extra player, the non-hosts games don't move at all. None of us are behind firewall and we have all the needed ports open. Any advice would be helpful.

A side issue (possibly related to the continuos loading and reloading) is that war seems to start, then grind to a stalemate. For instance, italy declares on eithopia, they skirmish for a while and then things just stand still. We've just hit 1938 and nothing has moved there in over a year. It looks like the same is happening with japan and china. I don't know if the reloading is breaking the triggers or if there is another problem, or maybe this is how it's designed to be?

1. Check to have latest version and patches af AoD and IC
2. Check difficulty level (normal / aggressive is the best balanced)
3. Don't really worry about freezing every 3 months - just pause and save, then exit and reload. I play like this with GameRanger for years!
