Game was running really slow and taking 3+ minutes to change teams. I rebooted my xbox and now I cannot get back in. Tested Overwatch and it loaded right up.

“There was a problem when trying to contact the server. Please wait a few minutes and restart your game.”

Same on iPad so this isn’t just Xbox/PS4.

Same with me, and I’m on PS4, like **mid-81** is.

Another thing I found was that I also could not access my stats on the **[gowdb.com](http://gowdb.com)** site. I’d log in, and I don’t see my usual profile pic, kingdom stats nor my Traitstone numbers (they are all set to zero), etc. All I see is the general list of all the game’s troops.  
I cleared my browser cache and site’s cookies, then relogged in and got the same results.

Ok, just got back in. Still slow and getting lag between switching. Hopefully they can resolve those servers and add more 😃
