The Auth.-Servers seem to work much better now. Creating Accounts and login in into the game seems to work fine now most of the time.
But there still seems to be a lot of lockup/freeze issues with the game when loading training or trying to join a server. Those problems still seem to be related to Auth.- and MBS Servers not responding correctly and causing the game to freeze sometimes. The Army is aware about it. Stay tuned ...
