...for the last 3-4 days the game will start normally, I'll sign in, join a game, the game starts, and when we get to image of the ship LEAVING (after the first scoreboard has popped up) everything slows down and renders the game unplayable.  I even tried deleting and re-downloading the game; no change.

What can I provide to help you?

I just wanted to say I love the Conrad Poohs avatar....

* The land grab phase was ridiculously slow until the one bot player got his plot, then it ran normally.

*Although my settings were set to not see the bot's development, it showed them anyway.

* In (I believe) Phase 9, three of us had chosen a plot, there was only one left on the entire board (bottom right corner), and the bot didn't take it.

* I was in last place as the next round began.  I had my space bar held down (not tapping), and the player in FIRST PLACE got that plot.

* In the final month the server got weird during the first player's turn (by now I was in 2nd)...on my screen his turn was taking an excrutiatingly long time.  About halfway through his turn he asked if I was still there.  When it finally came to my turn it was so speeded up I couldn't do anything but jump in the pub before time ran out.

Hi again--any information for me yet?

Thanks.

C-64 here as well....I basically used it for 4 things:  playing MULE, playing Lords of Conquest, playing Robot Rascals, and Q-Link.

I couldn;t fogire out to to attach files so I just did a copy/paste:

Hi--ever since 1.1 came online, every time I go to play I have to re-extract the zipped files and re-download the 4 files that comproses th 1.1 upgrade.  Why does the system not retain these files?  Is there something I need to do?

Thanks in advance.
