Buggy mess of a temporary league launch

Tried bringing in a friend to play along with for the new temporary league that just started, game is unplayable by any standard.

We ran into many issues, first of which was the direct x bug from the beginning of settlers. After multiple crashes I recommended changing and it fixed it, but the fact it hasn't been fixed yet astounded me.

I tried to mule a character multiple times and it shunted the character that I made to Settlers league. Is this 1 character limit only for the league I wasn't aware of or another massive bug?

And finally, I'm currently unable to log in at all. I dcd and now when I try to log in just receive "an unexpected disconnection occurred" message.

This is the poorest launch of a league I've seen, I hope they fix it soon.
