on the playability front, but it seems the networkability still doesn't work.

Well, time to eat humble pie :-)
3DO has put together a comparison test which was able to help us locate
a bug which did exist... and which DID used to be a PC bug. During development,
we saw several patches to the PC version, which we had to apply to our own
development tree. The patch from version 1.3 to 2.0 was quite large, and
during application of the patch, a single line in the AI code was miss-applied,
which involved the AI determining how strong and dangerous enemies were.
With the information 3DO put together to provide to us, I was able to track
the bug down.
I've made a patch and it has been sent to 3DO for testing. It is in their
hands now, for QA. Also, I've submitted the fix for the editor Display Message
crash bug.
Good news, although I heard about this (perhaps from you) at least a week
ago. Pity it won't stop crashing as well, but at least when the patch comes
out, I might be able to win that game where you have to kill Solmyr - he
always takes on a group of Black Dragons long before you can reach him.
