Tried to set up a MP game...got all the way through creating it and when I clicked to create the game, I got 'Unknown error'. Now in my haste to just start playing

I may have missed that MP isn't setup yet???

The current EAP version will support multiplayer skirmish games.
Unfortunately there appears to be a server issue right now which will hopefully be resolved soon.

Good to hear it's fixed. As a general comment, there do appear to be an increasing frequency and type of server problems recently. Any particular reason?

No specifics - it's been mainly bad luck with a wide variety of causes. Some of them, though, are because we are upgrading and improving the wider system as the load becomes heavier. More people playing the games online is a great problem to have, but does require some management to try and keep up with the traffic.

Indeed! Apart from these outages / issues, the MP system is very player friendly. Looking forward to some BA 2 MP matches!
Thanks Pip.

I have the same problem. Should I uninstall and reinstall?

I tried it, but I don't have any connection to MP games...

No - everything should be running as expected. I tried it out here just now - but your message seems to be from during the night. I will check into it.

Are you continuing to have issues with multiplayer? At what point did the error occur - login, downloading your turn, uploading your turn?

Just logged in (1740 EST) and it took about 90 seconds to log in...normally 4-5 seconds. Just thought I would post it as it seems out of the ordinary...

I have 5 MP matches going on right now.
4 seem to be working fine.
But one is now giving me a message when I try to play my turn ... FAILED TO LOAD FILE CHECK TO MAKE SURE CAMPAIGN IS STILL INSTALLED
It is a Wilderness skirmish ... just bad luck?

I would like to take a look at this game and see what the issue is. What is the name of your opponent in the game that is not working?

Thanks, I'm not sure if we will be able to recover that game, but it will help troubleshoot the source of the problem.
