The better MP is in the Patch, I believe. The cloud saves, however. Yeah, I think it might be best to assume that things happened and we probably won't get them.
We now have beamdog.net matching, as of the latest patch. On initial testing just now there are a couple of stability issues, but you can find a named game very easily. @Elendar & I had a couple of crashes and random disconnects though likely as not due to my ancient laptop. We were able to drop in and out with minimal problems.
