Warhammer III: 'You appear to be offline' bug

[Alwyn]

Warhammer III thinks that I'm offline, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.

Has anyone has else had the problem that, after starting Total War: Warhammer III normally, you get a message saying that 'you appear to be offline?'. (I'm pretty sure that I'm not offline - my computer's internet connection is working fine, Steam is in online mode and I can see Steam discussion forums, including new posts.)

I tried the following:

• Disconnecting and re-connecting my computer to the internet
• On Steam, switching to offline mode and back again to online mode
• On Steam, verifying the integrity of the game's local files (they were verified with no issues)
• Restarting my computer
• Moving the preferences.script file (this solved the previous problem of saved game corruption)
• Checking the list of known issues and solutions with Warhammer III on the SEGA support page, it wasn't there

None of these steps solved the problem, unfortunately.

I could be missing something obvious, but if so I haven't thought of it so far. My Windows 11 computer has the latest patches for its operating system and graphics driver. I haven't modded Warhammer III. I'm using the latest available update of the game at the time of posting this (version 1.3.2).

Has anyone else had the same problem? Did you find a solution?

I just ignored that... Wait for tomorrow and IE release, see if it changes something

Thanks, they fixed it - it seems as if it was a problem with a central server (or something like that), so it wasn't something that a player couls solve.
