Server problems and disconnecting

Unfortunately since we don't have dedicated servers we are relying on players hosting their own servers.

Because of that we are dealing with these problems:
- Slow Servers: When joining a server try selecting one that is in your country or close (we are hoping to add a Ping filter soon also)
- Bad Servers: Servers behind a firewall, or in a local restricted network like a school / office, that are still showing up in the server list (but players won't be able to connect to them). We are hoping to find a way around this - but for now also figuring out how to just detect this and not show them

It also looks like local restricted networks are causing problems with players trying to join servers - so we are also looking into this

Let us know if you have any other issues! thanks!
- Lee

Hey devs, kinda got a bigger problem, a lot of people can't even start the game. An error message pops up and since it says a bunch of random file names that are uncopyable, i will just say the title of the error message which is Microsoft.Net Framework. Thanks :)

Do you plan on hosting dedicated servers?

This game keeps trying to tell me I dont have a suitable Graphics Card.

I was playing it yesterday no problem.

Maybe a lot of the disconnections could be fixed with portforwarding?
What ports do the game use if you host a match?

Hello,
I can play just fine online with a little bit of lag (high ping), but then I decided to host my own server and for some reason the game freezes for about a second from time to time. This only happens when I'm hosting and not sure if it's a common thing or just me, anyways, thanks for your time

Greetings, what happens to me, is definitly synch problems. The game lets me play for about 2 to 4 minutes(and that s an "evey time"), then i get disconnected, even in my own country server host.. it lacks dependable servers, and it gets boring to have to disconnect and refind a suitable host to play against.it s impossible to enjoy anything when that happens.
Nevertheless, the rest is just beautifull to look at and the mobility is superb. keep it up, and if you manage to get this right asap, this game has a very good chance of bein a hit! Good Luck!!
