I recently received a copy of PA as a Christmas present and was disappointed when it wouldn't last more than a few minutes into a game. This post is intended to provide additional info to the Steam forum thread http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/648814844268029111 Steps to reproduce..
- Start a normal game against the AI.
- Selecting starting location.
- Cause an unexpected loss of network connection.
