@jtock13132 Thats not the setup, thats a bug. If it works correctly, AI jumps in rather quickly. Unfortunately, it doesnt always work correctly. But the developers are on it, they say.

The same happened to me. In the beginning of the last games it crashed constantly - it didn't went on. In the first game I tried this evening it crashed a bit later after some rounds of rolling the dice. The worst is that I had to leave games so often lateley (because the game didn't continue) that my Karma went down dramatically!

I think thats really unfair because I had no choice but to leave the game. There was no way to continue playing ...

Same here.

@sdavis310 More and more I come to the conclusion that it is not worth playing online anymore.

In addition to this, I’ve gone from 4-start Karma down time 1-star. Is there anyway to restore that karma back?

If you're using Google Chrome, I've found a fix: (It'll also work in other browsers, you'll just need to modify the instructions to find out where you can delete site data and cookies)

Go to chrome://settings/

Search settings for "cookies" and then click the highlighted content settings, and then cookies

then click "see all cookies and site data"

then where it says "search cookies" type catanuniverse

then click the delete on all of the search cookies things

Now, you'll be logged out and able to log back in, and it'll be in online mode

Just tested now, December 5th 2017, on the latest version of Google Chrome, and it works great.

@whuffo Good point, it does seem plausible that you get both of your players in the same game with a window of 1 or 2 min, possibly even less.
