Can anyone comment on multiplayer stability?

I tried this game multiplayer when it was first released, and there were so many hangs and CTD (not just me, many people on usenet and others I knew personally) ended up calling it "Reach for Ctrl-Alt-Delete" and shelved it.

If the 1.41 patch fixes half the hang/crash bugs I may give this one a try again. The latest patch I have is the mythical 1.3 alpha 3...

Any feedback is most appreciated!

I didn't have any CTDs after updating my old CD version (didn't have any before)
But after trying Multiplayer games in both WinXP and Win98 it was always hanging after about 30 to 60 turns. Then it was showing the "busy-cursor" indefinitely (untill killing it with ctrl-alt-del or taskman).
Wasn't fixed so far, AFAIK

That's the same behavior I saw in the 1.3 alpha 3 version.. so, looks like no fix for multiplayer stability.

Back on the shelf it goes. [:(]
