Tengo el mismo problema, la partida se congela en multijugador, a veces funciona, pero la mayoría de veces se queda congelado. Todo a empezado desde finales de abril, creo que con el último parche.

me and my group friends (5-6 people) have the same issue when we search quickplay matches, we’ve been having the error since Monday (April 29th) it doesn’t matter how’s the host, how many people are in the lobby, we all get stuck in match found or when it shows the match’s map and the timer is supposed to start, the timer never goes down since since most of us are stuck/froze :confused:

As one dev mentioned: << We are investigating crashes when joining a Quick Play match. This is being tracked in the Known Issues & Solutions and is currently under investigation.>>

i am having the exactly same problem…

13

14

Same problem, it has been 4 days that i can not play casual multiplayer :frowning:

15

quick play has turned into not play

16

I managed to play one time, was happy, but now back to cashing :frowning:

17

I was away on holiday for 2 weeks, and still not fixed?? :cry:

I got the same issue, Strange enough, the Ranked multiplayer works, but the non-ranked multiplayers gets stuck at around 50 seconds after a match is found.
Haven’t had this issue ever before, started around May 1st week. have tried nearly everything from uninstall, to steam uninstall and reinstall.

i have a solution to this bug:
start searching a match and pick an civ. When it finds a match, quickly enter to tech tree and dont quit until match begins.
it worked for me wish it helps you guys.
i hope devs fix this bug :confused:

I also have the same issues for weeks now and I tried it the way @sugnuhc described, but that doesn’t work for me unfortunately…
