    My friend and I are trying to get a game going, we both have TOB, the latest patch, (mods doesn't matter as it goes with what the host has), and we use Hamachi to determine the Host Address.

    We were playing last night andit worked fine. tonight when we tried it, I couldn't connect to her game, nothing has changed. Same Address, same session name.

    And when we switch so I host the game, it works.


    And when I try with a different friend i get another issue.

    I start the process of beginning a game fine. and get here alright.

    Then when I hit done, and go to the character screen, it looks like this few 20 odd seconds, then I get booted.

    We even used a different game name, as when we first tried it, we used the same name as with the first friend, the character screen looked the same as in the above link, only our character protraits were there. Which is weird, because the first friend wasn't with us, so how'd her portrait get there?


    Anyone have any ideas? This is totally bugging me out, esp. in regards the the first part as it worked perfectly last night.

    Sorry to double post but this is really annoying.

    Tried it again with the second friend, him hosting, me joining, but it seems like the game thinks i'm hosting. when I get to Character Arbitration screen I cannot see my friend, who is infact hosting the game. Then after a few seconds the session gets terminated.


    Spose I'll try reinstalling, but hopefully it doesn't come to that.


    EDIT...

    Well I reinstalled, seemed that my 2nd friend has connection issues, he was unable to host properly or something , because I showed up in his game for a few seconds, before I got my Session has been terminated message.
