Connection issues with franchise server

[SamBePunkt]

Anyone else having connection issues to the franchise server since yesterday? Every few minutes or even seconds it keeps losing the connection and pauses the game. Sometimes it reconnects to the server itself after few seconds or I need to go back to the main menu or even close the game to reconnect. I nearly can not play anymore because it constantly pauses the game due to the connection loss.

Constant server disconnects playing franchise mode today (Saturday), but there's nothing wrong with my connection, I'm listening to the football on internet radio and that's fine, also quickly checked other (more demanding) network games and they're fine too. Going to have to do something else until they get it sorted as the game is virtually unplayable especially if you're trying to build something!
Not entirely sure why losing the server should be killing franchise mode since the saves are local (or seem to be) and the only obvious reason for online is animal trading and VIP visitors, both of which I can do without so long as the game runs!

Zoo server overcrowding. They need to enlarge the enclosure, or hire more mechanics dedicated to serving only them...
