I had some difficulties while playing just now:
-while in a city screen, I was not able to reassign citizens or specialists. Research buttons and build buttons were also unresponsive.
-upon exiting the city screen, research buttons still unresponsive.
-I was, however, able to move units.
I exited to main menu, quit the game, restarted the compy, restart game, connect. Same exact problems, but before I have a chance to exit to main menu, I get an error message:
Warning! We have lost our connection to the Pitboss Server!
the game auto-exits to main menu, from which I close the game, restart compy a second time.
I think I should post here, so I open Chrome (browser).... no internet. Other computers in the building have internet. I close Chrome, restart after getting some coffee, and internet comes up fine. So I think I should check in on the Pitboss. Yep, everything works OK, and I'm able to complete my turn just fine.
So I have no idea if my problems (likely to be specific to my machine or my machine's connection to internet) resulted in lingering Pitboss Server problems, but I thought I should post here to inform everyone
