Multiplayer force continue not working.

I'm going to hope this is the right place to post this.

As the host of the game, when I press the force continue button on the GM screen it will set everyone except for one or two people to ready. No matter how many times I click it again, or even use the right click force ready, it won't set them to ready. I've been trying to run a league with around 8 others but there is always that one person taking way longer than everyone else ( ](*,)). No matter what I try, it's been impossible for me to force continue, and every once in a while even when everybody is ready it won't let the game continue.

I'd really not rather resort to kicking people out who take too long, but I might have to if there's no way to fix this (which sucks).

I'm pretty sure if a human player is on a "decision screen" (like Tactics or Scouting) you can not kick them.
If a players "times out" (their screen freezes, power goes out, etc) in such a screen you have to wait for the game to kick them, and this can take hours (so it's important for participants to not leave their game unattended when on such screens)

The online leagues I'm aware of have #1 a "host" who has the game running 24/7 #2 set/specific times that the sim occurs (so others know NOT to be ingame at that time) and #3 Skype chats or something similar that all participants use when playing EHM, so you can communicate with people

I'm not sure "live sims" are working/working well in the new EHM. In a live sim all participants are in game when Continue is pressed, and the chat (such as Skype) helps keep everyone moving along at the same pace
