@janmej I haven’t had any spinning hourglass issues recently but I have had the spinning slots followed by the make sure you are connected to the internet message. I’ve noticed that usually I can play for a hour or so with little issues and then there will be like 15 minutes where things really slow down and I’ll have to try the slots 2-3 times before I’ll get matched to a team. Then things will be fine for awhile again. I’ve used the reload team rankings @abgofast mentioned earlier that does seem to help sometimes when things slow down. Also if you don’t get matched to a team in the spinning slots if you wait a few seconds when you go back to our team roster and wait 5-10 seconds then try to race again it usually will find a team right away. I’ve watched my WiFi traffic and can see that my phone must still be loading the data for the race even after you get the check internet message and returning to the team roster page. So if you wait those few seconds usually it is enough to finish downloading the data for the race and you get matched almost right away. It seems like if you try racing again right away without waiting you will end up stopping your race download and starting a new download for a new race which will inevitably leave you in a perpetual circle of stopping the race data and not giving it enough time to download.

What it really boils down to is that Rovio probably doesn’t have enough server bandwidth to handle all the requests to race multiplayer from around the world at certain times of the day so things slow down for awhile. Then as people give up trying to race, if you are persistent, things will speed back up eventually.

That might be long and overly complex but the above strategy lets me race probably 95% of the time…granted you need to have some patience. Hope it helps.
