    Hi all, When, I try to connect to the online Multiplayer, it says Server error, or server authentication error. I have the patch installed but to no avail. Any ideas?

    I had this problem myself. I just loaded up the Multiplayer, made a new account from there, loaded it up, and it ran fine. For some reason, for me, the account I created in the campaign does not like me to play Multiplayer.

    Thanks Tank, I'll have to try that out tonight! And for the FireWall issue, I have tried it both ways and no difference. Would I be able to create the same account name, because I am on my Pristeige level and don't want to lose all of my accomplishments. Thanks!

    I tried to create a new Multiplayer username, but it wouldn't even connect to the internet this time. Hmmm...

    This is a known issue that's suppose to be fixed in the next patch (due in a couple of weeks). It will happen when you refresh server browser. For me, I'll refresh the browser and then restart the game. That usually gets me in.

    Yeah, but that's only if I'm even able to connect to the Online Service. Then if I get lucky and get online, it will then say server authentication error. Just the luck of the draw for me.
