Nope, Im in the US. It has cleared up since my last post. I think it was just a bad week.

Also what version of Windows are you running?

Does the DirectX 8/9 version of Civ5 work?

It's not just you. I have been have issues uploading saves, site taking minutes to load, etc. The weird thing is it is kinda spur-attic. One moment it is perfect and the next it won't do a thing.
