''Waiting for answer from Server'' ?

Im stuck in the lobby after my connection with a message saying ''Waiting for answer from Server'' , anyone have that bug to? Could it come from putting a ''.'' in my username ?

Probably, I think my game is broken because I put a question mark in my coach name. They should disallow coach names with symbols in if it breaks their system.

It's the kind of mistake only novice coders make (usually).

I didnt even put any symbols for my coach name and I too am getting the same problem

Waiting for answer from server.

Hello, when I get to the menu this is the reply I get, I cant seem to get past it and I have approved the game, disabled firewall + anti virus, restarted the game, rebooted, even reinstalled it, but still I cannot enter the actual game.

Did you look at your router? Maybe you need to open a certain port there or something.

Yes I just did that :)

Well this is off to a swimming start! I gotta say, I am disappointed, I started this game before my brother entered, I couldnt enter, he started it, no problems!, this is really off to a swimming start.

If you are both on the same network and one of you can get in and the other can't it's either some problem with their server or your computer so you could rule out anything else. What are the differences between your and your brothers computer? Same OS? Different AV software? Maybe try disabling AV and firewall again and then disable any processes that aren't essential in the task manager, you could put your computer into a DMZ to see if that helps.

Could be some other software is interfering with your game.

I am pretty sure I have tried everything, and no we arent sharing internet, but my pc is much better than his in specs, and in net quality.

Yay for people with the same annoying crap issue.

Did you get a message from Windows Firewall when running the game for the first time?

Otherwise, please check that Blood Bowl 2 has been added in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

From Windows, search: Windows Firewall with Advanced Security
Open 'Windows Firewall with Advanced Security'.
Click 'Inbound Rules' under Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on Local Computer.
Check that Blood Bowl 2 has been added twice (two rules) under 'Inbound Rules', for example:

Name: 'Blood Bowl 2'.
Profile: 'Private' (or 'All').
Enabled: 'Yes'.
Action: 'Allow'.
Override: 'No'.
Program: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Blood Bowl 2\BloodBowl2_DX_32.exe'.
Local Address: 'Any'.
Remote Address: 'Any'.
Protocol: 'UDP'
Local Port: 'Any'.
Remote Port: 'Any'.
Authorized Users: 'Any'.
Authorized Computers: 'Any'.
Authorized Local Principals: 'Any'.
Local User Owner: 'Any'.
Application Package: 'Any'.

You should have a second rule with the same settings except for the protocol (Protocol: 'TCP' instead 'UDP').

Otherwise you can add manually these two rules.
Right click on 'Inbound Rules' under Windows Firewall with Advanced Security on Local Computer and click 'New Rule...'.
Check 'Program - Rule that controls connections for a program.' and click the button 'Next'.
Follow the instructions.

Note: you can apply these two rules both for a Private network and a Public network.
