I can confirm that.
Version: CDV (german)
I tried playing TCP/IP with a buddy last night, and the game would always crash on us (either on his or on my system). It *seemed* that the crashs would occur once the fighting started, so sometimes it would crash in the first round (on small, flat maps) or in a later round if our troops took a while to sight each other. Trying to use the auto-save to resume would also result in a crash. We both tried hosting, and the results were the same. We then went to play a TCP/IP in CM:BB (V. 1.03 CDV, german) which worked flawlessly.
Error message that came up read something like: "Connection lost, the game will exit. You can resume your game later with the auto-save file"
When we tried to use the auto-resume feature, there would be no message however, the game would just crash back to the desktop.
We both use WinXP Pro and are on DSL (same ISP) btw.
Needless to say, we were both pretty dissapointed after having bitten the bullet buying the sanitized german version (I know, silly us ) and then not being able to slug it out on the web....
