Some players have been reporting problems with games played via Ironclad Online. Specifically, some games will disconnect after a period of time and some users won't be able to see all the available games in the lobby (as an interim workaround, you can manually type in a game name to join it). Ironclad and Stardock are investigating these issues and will be working on fixes for them. We apologize for the trouble and appreciate everyone's patience while we track things down.
