In case anybody is interested, it should be pointed out, that once you go from 1.30 to 1.40 beta all your MP games are wiped out, GONE! (at least, in my case that's what happened, or it might be because I had to get a new computer, not sure). There is no trace of "any kind" of MP activity, present or past. I feel like an ass, for I had about 15 MP matches going on.

Don't worry, that is not true at all ;)

All your games are still here, you just don't see them because beta-testers play on test server. Once 1.4 is officially released, game will be using production servers and you will see your games again.

Since it is not possible to have 2 installations of the game (1.3 and 1.4 beta at the same time), if you want to continue your current MP games I suggest you re-install your game and update to 1.3 only.
Been on 1.40 beta since it first released, those matches on 1.30 are pretty much history, moving forward with the new 1.40, as soon as the jiggyness of the new patch is resolved.

Are you experiencing jiggyness too?

NO! Still using 1.40 beta, which has been functioning OK, however, been reading the prior member posts and not interested in having the problems they seem to be experiencing (mouse, ect.).

The jiggery mouse problem wasn't there with the old 1.40 beta. I don't know what's supposed to be fixed with this new beta one, what I have observed is that when I want to attack with naval units in the enemy's green dot area, I get severely punished - while at the same time, the AI Russian Navy raids my ports at leisure, killing off a convoy and a cruiser while at port.

The Western Allies keep bumping out units while I don't know what to do first, repair units or buy new one - lack of funds.

My guess this is still the same old 1.40 beta with some additional (mouse) issues.

Is there nobody doing some sort of Quality control before releasing a patch?

As soon as I complete the game that's in progress now, will move onto the next 1.40 (beta?) patch, if it is, I did not realize it was. Doing some experimenting on how to "avoid" production down grade percentages and how to make better sense of the upper management window (financial % and other break downs). Just figured out that disbanding units in former hostile territory does "NOT" bring population use down on the present turn or the next turn, but does reduce/eliminate the maintenance cost of the unit.

Have not figured out how to upgrade production level stats???? disbanded units to bring Manpower above 90%, yet yellow production level still shows in management window, would have thought it should have gone into the black. Italy started the game in orange, been disbanding units in their home countries for maximum effect to upgrade levels. Will start reducing labs to see if that has a positive effect. Will be finishing this game soon, then add your patch.
