Default Yiikes! What happened to sim-turn type?

So I install the patch and the lovely Balance mod, then set up a nice first-time game with the full version. Everything looks good, very many of my demo-issues are gone with the patch, etc. Then it happens: I press end-turn. Nothing could have prepared me for that experience:

->Loading Data Types
->Loading Bitmaps
->Loading Game
->Processing Turn...
->Loading Data Types
->Loading Bitmaps
->Loading Game

->Login

Sitting there wondering about why the game is loading the 'Data Types', 'Bitmaps' and 'Game' in the first place( I'm already playing the game and have loaded all that! Why not just go straight to the processing? ) and then requires me to actually 'Login', I get another shock when it turns out my System View camera thingy has actually reset to that completely awkward default.

Okay, granted, it's supposedly a 'Hot-seat'ish' mode, but seriously...? It worked perfectly in SE4 to play single-player Sim-mode( which is what I prefer), but here it's far more trouble than it's worth. First it shouldn't need to reload all those things both before and after turn processing, secondly it shouldn't require a 'Login' with only one human player registered( only when loading the game, ala SE4) and finally it should save the camera settings for each human player in hot-seat mode.

Would I be better off sending this to Aaron, or is this something that has come up? I can't be the only one that plays Sim-mode in single-player?
