Still happening except the power removal and plug back in trick now doesn't work either !?!
I had to do the power drain trick twice for it to work. It was giving me the error message while I was pinging the servers. I could see the server but not join. I can tell when game will work or not based on how fast it loads. If it tries to resume further along the boot process then I know it wont work. If the game shows me long full introduction and says "Connecting to online services" and has the spinning thing as it connects, then I know it will work.
