Had it happen to me I left it and it loaded after maybe 5 minutes.

[Donovan Zoi]

Thanks Lewwyn. I will leave it like it is and check it in the am. No luck yet though. Hopefully this status doesn't keep others from joining.

It's doing the same for me so I'll restart the server.

[Old Harry]

Okay, reloaded to GJ's logout save and I logged in just fine.

Does anyone want to switch to a longer turn timer yet?

[Donovan Zoi]

Thanks, Harry! I'll try again later when I get the chance.

As far as the timer, I have no preference either way. Since it seems we have a diplo screen workaround now on pauses, we may be able to sustain the current timer for now until things really become unmanageable within a 24 hour period. If anyone feels that time is now, then yeah feel free to update the timer

well looks like i get again that mesage 'contacting peer' and unable to loggin to someone firewall. I hope there is a save at may logout as there were lots of combat....

Getting too later for me today. Need a pause probably for 24h

I am traveling and I now have that problem with empty civ selection screen which someone had earlier. I remember that the solution was to wait long enough but I have waited for 30 minutes and still nothing. Any other advice? Need a lurker to play as it may be a while before I resolve this problem. Will leave instructions in my thread.

I tried to wait. In most cases it never appears.

I had the issue before when I traveled, and the reason I was told was that the issue is some routers have their packet size set too small so that civ can't properly get the civ name list. I've found since then it only happens to me when I try to connect parents home, which lends credence to that explanation. 

If you are not able to change the packet size we may just have to wait for you to get to a better connection.
