Something wrong here...

[LeGrange]

I started playing about a week ago. Played the elves for about 5 days with no pvp action at all. Then I switched to men, one of my armies got attacked by another player and I almost smiled...almost. The loading screen came up and stayed there. I never got to defend my army. I did not gain or lose anything, but I was forced to use the ole ctrl-alt-delete and close the game down because I waited 10 minutes on the loading screen. The same thing also happened when I was going to co op. Is the waiting time really just THAT long, or is there a technical issue that is making pvp/co op not work? Please address this or tell me what I am doing wrong on my end because I really want to pvp. Thank you.

i had the same problem try going into your router settings and turn off universal plug and play just for playing this game

Hello,

As someone had suggested, disabling the UP option in your router usually fixes the problem. Sometimes the solution is as simple as restarting your router/internet modem (turning power off and on)
