So, I guess this issue has been affecting others on the PS3 console. I have also read a few post advising that the 1.10 patch is whats causing our inability to play multi player online. This issue does put the PS3 Civ Rev online gaming community behind X Box. Coupled with the fact that Civilization is making its transition from PC, to console, and I asssume most PC users are partial to the Bill Gates created X Box, I am concerened that my options for a large pool of contenders is affected. I couldnt exactly figure out how to unistall the 1.10 patch individually, so I'm in the process of reformating, and reinstalling my PS3 system. Hopefully this works.
