Regarding Slvynn game, both New Weird Order and I were able to play our turn, but we seem to have a little problem: We are playing as one civs, but we have the color of another!
In my case, I am Maya, and I can build the Atlatlist, but I have Austria's color! (white on red background) From what I have gathered, the creator of the game might have put random civ to everyone even tough we all picked a civ on the website, would that be the cause?

This can sometimes happen when a player gets skipped (we're still ironing out a few wrinkles), you should be able to have the host revert the last turn and go from there. Let me know if you need any more help with it!

Does this refer to the local timezones of each player or to the timezone of the host?!
I think it does not make sense if it only refers to my timezone (Europe), when I play with USA or Australia or both...

This was the first turn of the game. He was the ONLY player to have taken his turn as creator of the game.
This is exactly correct! When the hosting player selects a different civilization for someone than what is selected on the GMR website, GMR will overwrite the civilization in the save file to match the website. We overwrite the civ and the leader for that player but we do not overwrite the color. This is why you'll have another civ's color. Not a big deal as it doesn't really affect gameplay. We actually think it's kind of fun
Oh that's very strange! Try reverting back the first turn and re-creating it.
This refers to the timezone you set for the game in the Turn-Timer settings. This part of the Turn-Timer feature is really only useful for a group of players all in the same or similar time zones.

I posted this question in the chat room on the GMR page but it seems like this is the board that is checked more so here it is again.
Does anyone know what happens to games in progress when a new patch/DLC is released? Will games started on an older patch continue to work on the new one?

Yes, they will still be playable. The last major CiV patch (just before GaK released) did cause some DLC civs to get switched around in existing games, but we were able to correct it. For all intents and purposes you can expect existing games/saves to survive a patch or DLC being released for CiV
edit: And yeah, I'm not as good about checking the Steam group chat as I should be. Putting more hammers towards it!

The online/offline status we show is your Steam status. To have your Steam status work properly you need to setup your public Steam profile, which you can do here: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198041610737/
Until you setup your public profile you will always appear as offline.
thanks. maybe you will initialize an faq on the website, once I'm done with asking questions this is one step for more user friendly interface

Thanks for the suggestion! Just got it added to the website.
I also created a Bugs Report Thread, maybe you should make it sticky

It's not a bug, but maybe you can improve this:
When I disable "Close Civ V when a new save is detected" and save the file, the desktop app doesn't show the popup for "New save file detected, do you want to upload the new file?" But this would be very useful like it is, when the function is enabled
Another thing about "Close Civ V when a new save is detected": Another expression would be good, because in the app there are new saves detected, too but it only means if YOU save the current game after your turn...so I was a bit confused in the beginning

I think today my first point already worked, wow! (maybe i just did something wrong before 
)
Another thing about it: The function seems useless (when CIV 5 is not allowed to quit) until you can't load the next save-file ingame or go back to any menu
have a nice day happy gmr-ing^^
