I'm sick of seeing this when i try to play single player games. I settle in and have the battle going in the direction I want and what happens? My lazy router decides to drop the connection for 5 seconds and suddenly I'm back on the menu with all of my progress and efforts destroyed in the blink of an eye. This needs to be top priority immediately as the game is becoming unplayable half the time due to this. Implement a save feature for games or a way to recover them. I have in tonight alone had multiple incidents in which I have had to restart progress on a galactic war battle due to disconnecting.
You can start a local game, you dosent need too connect to Ubers servers anymore. Note: you need 8 Gigs of memory and a quad core to run the game with reasonable performance.
Also, if you don't have 8GB of memory and a quad core processor, (which it does sound like, otherwise your games would run locally already anyway), then you can force the local server on by going to settings -> server. But like FSN1977 said, you may suffer in performance.
