Could you post here your host file please?

I tried deleting the line Little Powell suggested and the lobby didn't works but if I add again the line the lobby works again

I attach here mine. I'm on Win7 so I don't know if you can use it

I guess SOW Gettysburg, and Waterloo just aren't being supported anymore...
Aren't you receiving support in this thread? :)

We're looking into a patch to get this resolved permanently. Hopefully you can get the workaround going until then. Reminder that the hosts file needs admin rights. If the right line is there, it should work. As Biondo suggested, you should PM him your hosts file and he will take a look. Thanks Biondo for your help.

This is the text that should go into the HOSTS FILE THAT HAS BEEN REFERENCE ABOVE....
replace hosts file text with this and you are ready to go....
