Is game down? I cannot connect. I mean, I get some packets, but screen stays at 'Waiting for game info'.

that's a bug sometimes... just try again a few times - i had that the first attempt, but then got in no problem.

when that starts happening it is best to restart the game instance on the server.

and email zach, as he usually doesn't ever check the forum it would seem

Thanks! Now I feel bad for holding game for everyone. It took 7 times, but allowed me in. And I submitted a half made turn :-(

Hi, just browsing, and saw you had troubles ...

A workaround for the "Waiting for game info" bug is:

- Play in windowed mode.

- Connect to the server and get "Waiting for game info".

- Do not close the window!

- Start a new instance of the game, connecting to the server again, with the original window open.

It's very tough to actually get a turn in, in this game. I did finally manage (with VFB's post for instruction) to do my turn. I was able to log in and see that I got my *** kicked. Still, that's better than staling, and seeing my *** kicked and not being able to do anything about it.

hmm... Seems like a lot of messages to ingame. Please send them as PM on the forum instead. I have very little time to play my turn and do not have time for diplomacy and trade during that.

Why, when you don't even respond?
