Hi,
I have recently updated to 0.9.23 on Windows and started to have this problem:
When setting up a new game to play and clicking on the image below "Map preview:", sometimes HW "gets stuck" showing just the timer symbol and never displays a new map. At this point HW either won't let me start a game (clicking Start does nothing) or the game "hangs" when it starts to load. It is worth pointing out that this happens only sporadically - sometimes it might happen after clicking the map once or twice, at other times it might be possible to click many tens of times before this issue kicks in.
I never experienced this problem with previous versions and haven't made any other changes to my system other than installing the latest HW. However, it is now happening quite frequently and is in particular making online play difficult, as when it happens I need to close HW (sometimes via Task Manager).
Has anyone else noticed this? Just wondering why this happens and could it be fixed?
Many Thanks.
