Same here. Says there is a connection failure, like one of us is down, but everything is working fine. network wise.

in the game now myself with no issues, or a update.
If you run any kind of Firewall turn it off and see if you can connect, if so then you need to let your Firewall know that COH is good to go, permission wise. The updates change the EXE so many firewalls have to be given permission after each update. If its not that, and you can get to other websites then you may have another more obscure issue, in those cases, good luck tracking it down.

I wasn't aware of that. And yes, it worked. I just gave it permission to run. Thanks for the help! 
So, after the update I haven't been able to log-in at all, despite the status page saying the Servers are up. Anyone else having this problem?
