New patch will likely be released by next Thursday if I am correctly interpretting dev comments.  This will likely hHELP fix problems but will not fix all problems for all people.  This is beta so expect losts of content additions/changes, bugs fixes, and the like, but there is no guarantee of when exactly it will ALL be fixed. They will do what they can and then head after ones they mix or new problems they find.  Let them know what roblems you are having, and though it may be difficult be patient.  Just wondering but what are your problems, can you play against bots?  Are all MP games unjoinable?

yea man thats my prob. ive only played two online games. i hosted both of them and the second one i had the dude that joined couldnt belive he got in. but he was planning to play with his brother who, of course could not connect to the game. So it seams to be pretty unanimous.

the few games i've hosted or joined went without a hitch.

sorry to sound like a dick, but i think it's a case of PEBKAC.

He burned us! Here's a description of PEBKAC:

PEBKAC is an acronym which stands for "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair". The phrase is used by computer experts as a humorous way to describe user errors.

@ Bullet Magnet, I think you just got lucky man. Failing that, your setup is less firewalley.
