Online play not working?

[Sgt Spoon]

When i click "Play Online", i simply get a messsage saying "loading lobby data ...". It takes a while to timeout, and then it tells me something is wrong with my internet connection. I am posting this on a forum, so im pretty sure i have internet.

I hope this is a temporary thing ... i bought this game specifically to play scythe online ...

Same, I agree

Yep me too. Just bought yesterday, filling out a refund now that I realize this has been an ongoing issue.

Game is UNPlayable at this point. Pretty hard to get a room started, amazing when someone can join a room and start a game and then game freezes early in on the game as of yesterday. Today? Forget about it. And NO RESPONSE at all, whatsoever, in any way shape or form, from ANYONE from Asmodee or Developers about reporting issues for the past 10 days!!!

Hello, we're investigating the issues which unfortunately popped up at the worst time of the year. The main offender, on the server side, has been fixed today and a patch is in development to adress minor client side issues. We'll keep the community informed soon. Please keep your feedback coming, especially if you notice any progress or regression.

Looks like players getting stuck and unable to finish the game I was in just now. The last player to leave said it was the fourth game in a row like that for him today.

We're happy to announce that we've now deployed a fix that resolves the server stability issues that were being encountered since late-December. You can find the full patch notes here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/718560/announcements/detail/1700572321090077126

You should now be able to enjoy online matches once again and we apologise for any frustration caused. Best of luck in your games!

Just played a game without issues.

One suggestion though:
- if you select an action, you cannot undo it in online play
- i've clicked "fight" without spending any power or cards. The game should warn about that ...
