Comrades, I want to update you all on where things are at with multiplayer connectivity issues at present. What we know is that for some players, but not all players, the game either fails to connect or disconnects after a few turns. We are unable to find a common thread between players who are having issues, and our remaining working theories will require bringing in engine developer expertise to assess. We haven't given in, and there are things we will be experimenting with in the future to see if we can find a fix for affected players, but until we have a solution we cannot in good conscience promise a solid multiplayer experience for everyone and will be describing multiplayer as "experimental" for now. We are deeply disappointed about this and look forward to putting out another notice in the future promising a flawless multiplayer experience. In the interim, we will continue to work on making the single-player experience that much stronger.
