Sir:
I have already posted once on FAQ, but still have the same problem. I thought I would try a second time. I have the German version and have been playing with little dificulty since the first patch. However, when the 5 patch and subsequent 5b patch were made available something went wrong (I didn't play the game in between the installation of the two patches). I have two problems: first, the game play seems tied to the run of the music. When the music has finished a playing the game freezes until the music begins again. this applies all player controled functions. The game clock continues to record, so when play resumes one will be possibily several weeks further along. I experienced this when I first installed the game before the 3 patch (the first available option for me).
second, the trade function is odd. Playing as France their home market trade option button is blackened out so it cannot be pushed. This becomes the case with other markets as the game progresses. One would assume I was being denied trade, but I haven't noticed any actual message to that affect. If I set the game of automatic trade then trade proceed, sometimes with markets otherwise inaccessable due to the blackened trade button. please advise.
note: I have actually unistalled the game and tried renstalling without any change, alas.
