Last night, me and two friends were playing Civ5. About turn 98 the game froze. We waited a few minutes before force quitting.

After that I loaded up the multi-player game on the turn we froze on and then waited for them to connect. First they couldn't connect (this is via steam) and it had them sitting on the "connecting to host" screen - which is odd because I was the original host.

So then my friend hosted the game. We connected just fine, but he couldn't push the launch button, and we didn't have any buttons to push to ready up.


Has anyone else noticed this problem or have you figured out a way to get around it?
