Multiplayer: Unknonw error occured (code=42)
Hi,
I currently have three ongoing multiplayer games, and whenever I want to upload one of them back to the server to continue it later, I get the following error:
Unknonw error occurred (code=42)
I get the "Cancel" or "Retry" options, but no matter how many times I retry, the same error comes back.
Occasionally, I get the same error but with code=44 and then it does work when I click the "Retry" button.
What does this error mean, and how do I circumvent it?
Note that I have patch 1.26 installed (I only recently noticed 1.30 is out, but if that would have been a problem, I suspect the game would have prevented me to log into multiplayer mode before installing the latest patch, as it happened with all other patches)

You have to install the 1.30 patch. Than it works.

I HAVE the 1.30 patch! ..I think there's something else wrong ..it was letting standard games through..but not custom maps ..but now isn't responding to them either
(sigh!)

The issue with the PBEm servers, should have been fixed this morning.
Can you please retry again?

Works now, but in the meanwhile I have also installed patch 1.3, so not sure if that was the fix.
