Yes today was the planned maintenance day - we announced it a couple of weeks ago.

It's all back up now.

My opponent can't get to our game that is in progress.  Here is what he does:

1. Start Pz Corps
2. Click Play from the start screen.
3. After ESC from the Slitherine intro music, click Multiplayer.
4. Login.
5. One game displayed.  Click Play.  Loading game seems to complete.
6. "Axis Turn 8 of 25... Click to continue."  Nothing happens
7. Click, click, click.  Nothing.  Nuts.
8. ESC to system menu.  Click on "Exit to Desktop".
9. Saves game to continue later.  "Saving game" seems to complete.
10. Exit to desktop.

When I looked at my current games it correctly shows as his turn but he can't get to our game.

It's been passed to the dev team and they'll get back to you ASAP - sorry for the delay.

I am getting an email not sent message after my turn and no longer getting email notifications that someone has played me on any of my 20 games I have going.

The email server, rather than the game server, seems to be having some issues - just noticed it myself. Sorry for any inconvenience. It shouldn't affect your games.

Cheers

Any progress on our problem?  Can the dev team confirm the problem?  A fix is in the works?  They took the week off?  [:'(]

OK thanks.  Was hoping it was just a server glitch but apparently not.  Any rough ETA on the patch?

A new beta patch will be release soon, for testing.
Sorry, we have still no ETA.
