I get that communication timeout prompt all the time during turns and it's no big deal. Well except today,
something new to be aware of happened. The site has been a little slow lately between 3pm-3:30pm ctz
and I started a turn around that time today and received a timeout prompt.

Instead of clicking OK wait another 10 seconds, I just click cancel. There was still a

in front of my name,
so I go back to the Games you are active in page and there is still a

for that game. I figure what the hell,
I'll come back to it later, made a phone call and did a few other things.

About a half hour or so later I come back and click on the game with the

... the page loads and
HOLY CRAP!!! there's now a

and my bonus is waiting to be deployed. Lucky for me
there was still enough time left to complete my turn or I would have been FUBAR in that game.
Watch out if you ever get a timeout prompt when beginning a turn and don't let it fake you out.

This is happening more and more... and it has caused me to miss ending my turn... thus missing a card. Not to mention to properly fortifying or making those last hits.

In an Escalating Game... missing a card can be a death blow.

I know I only paid $25... but I did pay.

I have only one further word to say...

WTF

I have a recipe which always works for me - just close the game and open it again

Sometimes works... not always... not for me anyway.

Sometimes the game just hangs and doesn't give this error.

I can log-off... clear cache... reboot... etc.

Sometimes it seems to help... other times it doesn't matter.

Sorry guys, bear with us. Lack is on a flight back home right now, and is ready to dive in and tackle this problem as soon as he gets back. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

When that happens to me I hit refresh and it goes away, my turn hasn't ever been jeopardized.
