Sounds like the same internet connectivity problems most people are having. You can open a command prompt and try doing a tracert to cloutserver.net to see where along the line it's failing to connect.
I ran into an issue. Two of my workers got stuck next to the wall (don't know if that's what caused it). They looked like walking, one was walking down and the other to the right (towards the wall).
I tried moving furniture around them, placing doors next to them, nothing would work. And as they were in a project that kept two more workers in zzz status. Had to restart...
Ummm, in the town map everything is black. I can move and the dialogue windows pop-up but when I walk or fight I don't see a thing. The menu/ inventory and stuf is all visible. Any possible causes?
