I don't agree with you. If you think about local as the local machine here. I have a 24/7 System running an the Online Service runs perfectly 6 Days ago, since yesterday (when I noticed it) not. So nothing changed here on my local machine. Restarting my Router and my System canged nothing. If you think about locas as the Location, I saw many people from my country play online yesterday. So thats no option too. There must be a Problem with the Servers. I paid nearly 60€ for a Game, I can't use in full function right now, thats not my fault, so I think anybody should look after the Problem. Other Onlinegames rum perfect, so why should it be local? And not everybody is using this Forum, if you Google the Error Code, you can find a lot of People reporting this Problem on other Websites.
Sorry for my bad english skills, its not my native Language.
