8.022 Appears to break multi-player

[RockyBst]

Heya.

We're in the middle of a multiplayer game at the moment, our host lost network connection and steam automatically updated to 8.022 when we relaunched and reconnected. Now we're getting the following error, and whenever we zoom out the screen just goes black. So I assume this is something to do with the far-zoom fix.

Only seems to affect multiplayer, old single player games aren't affected. Save file is attached.

I got the same problem but when loading a solo game first thing when starting the game.
If I do that, I get the same error. If I then exit the game to the main screen and reload it again, then it works.

So the temporary workaround is, for me at least, to load my saved game twice in a row.

Sorry about that!  It's fixed now: http://arcengames.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=AI_War:Current_Post-8.000_Beta#Official_8.023
