MP issues all of a sudden?

For the last hour, all of my MP turns are generating an error of "Email not Sent" and when I click "retry" it says "Wrong turn".

I havent changed anything.... did something break or?

I cannot answer you, because I don't play in multiplayer.
But I would wait and see if anything changes in the next couple of hours.

I don't know why it's happening to you now, but I used to get that error a lot and even now sometimes. When you click on Cancel for the 'Wrong turn' message you'll see that the turn has disappeared and will be available for your opponent. Beyond the obvious 'what-the-hell' moments it hasn't caused any real issues for me.

Ahh, ok then. I wont worry about it.

I did just complete a DLC40 campaign before switching back to my MP turns. No idea if they could possibly be related in some way, but that was literally the only thing my PC did after the last MP turn and the one generating the error.

Thanks for the help.

I had the same problem happen yesterday.

I went thru the same sequence -- "Email not sent" and then "wrong turn".

It looks like my move posted to the multiplayer server. I'm afraid that my opponent "Hivaga" was not notified that I completed my move. He hasn't made his.

:(

In my experience, players still get notified if you have uploaded a turn after the error messages. There are probably other reasons he hasn't replied yet.

These errors just mean the email notification failed to send to the other player for some reason. We'll turn these off as its not really an issue you need to be notified off. It will take a few days though.
