How old is the save? Are we talking a previous version of the game?

we got about four hours into a game and this last weekend of 10th of january - and it wouldnt load.
it may not be issue in LAN play i do not know but it is issue over internet.
we have noticed that no one is playing mutiplayer games on internet and I am wondering if its becuase of the issue with loads ?
if it takes while to load the game thats kol but it be nice to know how far along it is or if its just really stuck, like i said it seems to just get stuck and then you click some where and whole game has to be crashed - the mouse pointer changes so forth.
we been playing mostly small maps and medium maps with two of us or three of us and then one AI or two AI players last game we played was a medium map with 2 humans and one AI
on January 3rd we also started three different new games and sometimes it just crash to the desktop so we try the auto saves but they would never load for us so we end up making new games the last game we just saved it right away after couple of turns of play and then tryed to load it wtih no luck.
so seems to be constant thing for our internet games anyways.
I kinda wish there was a in game bug support feature....
but these where fresh games that where created on January 3rd and then we tried to reload them on January 3rd and then on the 10th we tried a new game and saved it and also couldn't load it. - yah i know i am repeating my self i guess sorry

Basically to sum up what Steven was saying is that we've had issues loading a saved game at all. We've had unexpected crashes and the autosaves won't load. We've saved games that were running perfectly fine and taken a break but when we try to reload it later the same day it still won't load. Unless we need to wait for more than five minutes for a saved game to load, nothing we do seems to work. A long load time is understandable if we were late into the game but we were only around the 100 turn point and thats the longest we've really played. The autosaves we tried to load after a crash were only around 30 turns. If you have any thoughts or something we're doing sounds wrong somehow we'd like to hear about it. Thanks
