Multiplayer (Not Logging In)

Hello,

 

I just got Sins 2 on Steam and can't seem to connect to the online servers for multiplayer. A friend in New Zealand is connecting and playing online fine. But when ever I try to connect is just says, Error sending request to 'https://ico-api.stardock.net/api/logins/steam'. Could not resolve host: ico-api.stardock.net (3). 

 

I have already reverified my files multiple times, deleted the sins 2 folder and in my appdata and reverified again, and restarted my PC. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Capt. OH
