OOB Multiplayer Connection Issue

[Bobthenailer1]

Hello,

There appears to be a connection issue when trying to connect to Multiplayer in OOB. The connection pane just keeps attempting to login but does not. This is the second day that this issue has occurred to me and other players. Is the Multiplayer server down?

Cheers, Spencer

There are players able to logon and play their turns.
So this issue seems to affect 'only' some of us.

Here is a bit more detail regarding the connection issues. I can log into Multiplayer but the Connection screen does not disappear after I'm logged in. Some of the games that I'm playing are behind the Connection screen. The games I can see I can launch, however when I've played my move and send it back to my opponent I get taken back to the main screen. The Connecting screen is still present and won't go away. I can't select any options (like Single Player) as they are frozen by the Connecting screen. In order to keep playing I have to CRTL Quit to get out of the game and re-launch. My cousin who is one of the players I play against has the same problem. He uses a PC and I use a Mac and we live in different cities. What do you suggest I do to fix this problem? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

"Double clicking on your scenario, visible behind the spinning Japanese flag, opened the multiplayer scenario for my son (his idea) and me."

This temporarily solution was offered by a player in the regular tech forum. Works for me.

Looks like this is fixed, game patch not needed.
