got an easier method, here is the algorithm


1). open Dominions
2). try to connect
2a). If it cannot: do not close the window, go to step 1 <repeat as long as you can connect, it works here with 3 windows open...what times we are living in...XXIst century :/ >
2b). if you can: play the game
Thanks Kojusoki! I agree, that's much easier. And it worked for me too. So, triple dominions-windows for me until the problem gets resolved.

I did not get the syncinfo bug. Logged in just fine. Perhaps the bug is client-related?

It appears to be both (server and client related). I've still got it in this game. Maybe it's some sort of timing issue. I saw someone else's post (can't find it now) where they said it worked fine at their friend's house, but not at home.

I just got it now when I logged back into this game. Freaky. Please, someone, figure this out. My poor old PC can not handle so many forced quits.

I am sorry for stalling but I can't seem to be able to connect myself to the game...

Edit: Nevermind I seemed to have been able to take my turn through the use of the 3 client window. (I just want to see my last castle taken down instead of turning to AI, sorry for the inconvenience I may have caused.)

Run the game windowed, not full-screen.

1) Start the game.

2) If it hangs at "Waiting for game info", then do not close the window! Go back to step (1) and start another copy.

3) After starting 2 dead copies, your third running instance of the game should connect. If it didn't, you should not have gone to step (3) , so go back to (1) and start another copy!

Please post here again if that doesn't work for you.

I've emailed and messaged Zach, but he has not replied. I'm probably going to bow out of all Evilzombie games because of the connection problems. I don't think he is actually administering the servers anymore.

On the positive connection problems seem to be fixed.

On the negative I just lost my prophet to an assasin at the beginning of a major war! lol
