Whenever i go to the choose your empire screen, every time it just ticks out and then it dosent even say opponent timed out! I tried on my alts and it still didnt work,anybody else besides me and 40fy having this prob?

same o.o l pick chaos no1 enter

Same here. It lasted for a while, then finally I was able to start match, and after it ended it started happening again.

it keeps hapening until i get a match with my 2nd or 3rd try.

It means, either u didn't choose an empire, or he didn't chosse in time.

Nah, Malbence experience this also. He was having a friendly with Rain, and they both chose an empire. But, Mal's choice doesnt go through. So I think its a bug. Big one too. He practically cant play right now.

We're just saying maybes and i had that experience too. If it went to the screen where they showed all the names, but just froze there for a while then going back to the lobby, then it means the opponent lagged out. Source: seeing my rating.
Also, i just ignore and try again. It just delays u like about 10secs. Not even close to a full lengthed game.
