Rise and Fall: Hero Mode - Multiplayer

Rise and Fall- Civilizations @ War.
Thread is posted @ raf.heavengames.com - Premier fan site for the game "Rise and Fall"
Serious issue when entering hero mode in Multiplayer.
I am not the only one experiencing this, there are others. Sounds to me as if there is a network coding issue: Thread is as follows, you can read multiple(s) here: http://raf.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=13,452,,10
Thread quote:
I have no idea what the problem is here... I have reinstalled drivers, cleaned them, etc. Nothing... everytime I go into hero mode, I go into "waiting for players...."
Systems is as follows:
Athlon 64 3700
2 GB of DDR 400 (Dual Channel)
Ample HD @ 7200 RPM
Geforce 7800 GTX w/256 MB Ram.
Now what gives. I don't have this problem whatsoever outside of multiplayer. Anyone else running into this, is it a bug? and if so, it's definately not a good one, considering that's a HUGE part of the game.
Not a happy camper here.
Another post:
Every single one unfortunately. Not an isolated incident. I just did another driver clean and reinstall. I am going to reinstall the game to a different drive and see if it's not something funky with my install.
I'll report back shortly.
---Edit---
It's still doing it. After my hero walks a couple of steps, it's just a Waiting for Players... I get the little turtle up in the right hand corner, and then nada. It just sits ther.e.. If my opponent is nice enough to wait long enough, I'll get control again, and then wash, rinse and repeat again... Same stuff.
I have not a clue what the issue is here. Fresh video driver install, fresh game install. First game problem I have had with this rig.
Thoughts, anyone?
Another post from a different thread:
http://raf.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=13,455,,10
Everytime i go in hero-mode in MP games the game lags terrible and then crashes.
Anyone else has same experience?
Another post:
I have a ATI X800 XT and newest driver.
AMD 3000 Mhz
2 GB Ram
In SP skirmishes I have no problems and online it runs smooth too (and no big lags), till i go in hero-mode.
Strange thing......
Another post:
As I mentioned in the other (similar) thread, this may be a networking/coding issue. Your system is pretty optimal to play the game, but your oppoenent's may not be. The likelihood is that the game is "catching up" on his PC before you enter hero mode. Just an educated guess on my part, and best left to Midway's support team.
So here I am.
Help, fix the bug.

Do you use Zone Alarm Firewall? If this is the case , you will need to allow in and out access ahead of time for the games executables before you start the game otherwise it will hang and you will have to power your computer off and start it again.

No..
i don't not use any sort of firewall software. This is only in Hero Mode, the regular part of the RTS runs like a dream online. When I go to hero mode, it just hangs, and locks up... only in Multi.

I have already posted my information to customer support, yesterday, including my DxDiag summary file. I am not looking for a prompt response. What's irritating, this must be a bug, as I am not the only one seeing it, as referenced in the forums, however, I would seriously doubt a speedy response.
Shame too, because I like the game, but not being able to play in hero mode, multiplayer, pretty much ruins the game.
