Iv been recently playing EE1 again and I got a few friends to start play as well we were playing our game using GameRanger and we were autosaving. One of my friends crashed so we had to restart the game, so we loaded up the last auto save and we all synch'd with it by getting to 100%. Then as we start it loads for a few seconds and then crashes. Do you guys have any ideas what the problem could be?

Nope were not using each other saves, what happens is the host hosts the game. He loads up the save file by going under the map options and go to save game and he choices the saved game. So we all get in the hosted LAN and we all synch with the file to 100%. Then we all ready up then as it loads it starts the progress bar then we all crash.

we seem to have the exact same problem
just to check a few things - Gog version of the game?
playing age of conquest we played through to WW1 era saved then when reloading host was ok but other player had random error. then when testing on a new game we had 'save not valid' error.
we have tried and tested everything, changing host on a new game changing all settings to be the same in the lobby before choosing the save game, trying the base game without expansion. If it matters, we're using gameranger, cant get it working on hamachi.
hope someone can find a fix. or workaround
