All morning now, when I log in, I get to the server list, but when I click on any server, I get this message.

"No response from this server. Try a different server, or try playing this one later."

This response comes back immediately. There's no pause suggesting my packets are getting lost or delayed somewhere. It's more like the server (or something along the way) is denying my connections.

I have a TCP connection viewer, and it does show a very brief ESTABLISHED connection from CoH when I try to pick a server. That suggests to me that I am able to reach the server(s), but something there on that end is keeping me out. That's not 100% clear, though, since I don't know what that connection is - it could be a TCP connection to a log-in server while my UDP streams to the game servers might be being blocked.

I checked with another player in my area, also on Comcast like me, and he is experiencing the same issue. So it could be a Comcast thing. It tells me it's not my local config, though, which hasn't changed since last night in any case. The rest of my internet access seems to be fine.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yep, that's almost certainly it. Thanks for the heads-up. I have always relied on either advance notice of patches (maybe I missed this one) or the game version warning.

Much obliged.

Just wanted to add another thank you for this post. I too was clueless. Perhaps they should change this?

Srsly, change it back to the "you need to update" message it used to be, this is kind of a misleading way to inform players.
