hmm...It is telling me I cannot connect to the Automation server when I click multiplayer.
EDIT: NVM, I just read that the servers crashed. I'll check back later today!

Thanks in advance.

Today we'll get a patch and the server should be up again already now. Hopefully the reason for the crash is fixed now also, it should start up itself again if it goes down.
Cheers!

I installed the patch but can't still connect to servers... Normal or not?

Not normal, what's happening exactly?

I got the usual "Couldn't connect to automation servers"-message but was able to connect after waiting for about hour... Don't know what happened there...

Earlier this evening game stated that there was two players in lobby although I was alone... Maybe related to this?

idk, i haven't even had the opportunity to try the multiplayer thingy yet

So just to confirm, you HAVE downloaded Build 1111, yes? This is not the first multiplayer patch, this is a new one, and if you don't have it, it will say that you're already connected when you try to join.

Sometimes Multiplayer game crashes at the very end of the game. Only chance to get out of the game is to end the process in task manager.

For me this happened only if I'm trying to run Test run at the end of the game. When the time runs out and the result screen shows up there is a split second opportunity to hit the buttons on the background. I think this is related to how fast your computer is and heavily on the resolution of the screen. For myself the Start test -button on the testing screen is exactly in the same position as the Scenarios button on the main menu. The main menu shows on the background and if you are able to push the button when the result screen is showed the game crashes.

Cheers.

Another bug?

Sometimes when I'm trying to fine tune the engine and am able to get one point more the printout in the lower area of the screen could be "Congratulations, you succeeded and you score is 1777" or something like that.

But still the score in the upper part of the screen stays "1776" and you don't get the screen which you get when you make the your best result. Some kind of a small thing related to rounding the scores?

Multiplayer is badly "Crashed".

I don't know if it works at all or not because there is no games to play. But there is at least one game which has 7 players all named with the same name etc.

What's going on?
