Yes, I'm getting the same error message.

I'm playing an online PvP game of World at War. I got about halfway through my turn and was bumped out of the game with a connection error. I went back into the game and noticed that several of my last moves were not recorded. Luckily no battles or sea movement. I tried to complete the turn and got kicked out right away. I rebooted the computer and tried again, same error message.

I checked my internet connection and it's fine. I'm not sure if the problem is World at War or Steam. The error message is pasted below

My operating system is Windows 12 and I'm running the game through Steam. I submitted the problem to support@matrixgames.com but haven't heard back.

Thanks for any help,

Appears that the server was repaired this morning. I was able to complete my turn.
