I think... I might have fixed it. I can get into the server now I'm gonna play a round and cross my fingers.

Cool!

I would like someone who hasn't done thier turn yet to do a little test for me if possible.

1) Connect to the server and download your turn
2) Issue a few orders
3) Click "Options" => "Save Game and Quit"
4) Close Dom3 and then open it back up
5) Connect to the server again and see if it shows you have submitted your turn.

It has always been my assumption that the server only marks your turn as submitted is if you click "End Turn". This is currently the problem R'lyeh has.

It appears that it counts your turn even if you save game and quit. My suggestion would be to connect to the server to download the turn, then exit out of the server instead of issuing any turn orders, do your turn out of the server, then reconnect to the server to upload your now completed turn. That way you can finish the turn at your leisure instead of leaving it half done. You have to remember to hit save game and quit instead of end turn though when you are doing your turn out of the server.

Next question: I was under the impression it wasn't suppost to work this way. Think this is a bug or a problem with the Server? Any expereinced players want to confirm how it is "suppost" to work?

The dialog on "save and quit" when you're connected to a server indicates that it is certainly not working as intended. I'm guessing it's a game bug, but if anyone is playing a game on another server give us a quick check if you would.

Hmmmm, for anyone wondering why I staled it looks like I was the victim of a bug. I took my turn, but apparently it didn’t register and showed me as still connected to the game (I had no dominions instance running at all). Oh well, I guess taking over after the first two staled turns wasn’t handicap enough, I’ll go ahead and fight ya all with one mage tied behind my back!

Yeah, I was wondering WTF you where doing, since you seemed to be connected for at least the last five hours of the game before it autohosted. I thought you wanted to desperately do your turn before the host timer reaches zero, but then fell asleep or something, but I didn't knew what was keeping you that long in such an early game, too...

[Velusion]

From the server it showed a little link symbol but it didn't show any active connections. I typically see that when someone disconnected in the middle of doing their turn.

[Baalz]

Hmmm, maybe I somehow neglected to "end turn" before closing it. Frustrating thing is I got a reminder notice, and hopped on to check mere minutes after the game had hosted (hadn't even got the email notification yet). Oh well, anyway, I'm still here and playing!
