Cannot Host Automatch

[Auctoritas]

An Annoying Issue,
Unless I am lucky enough to join an automatch game, I am caught in an endless phase of wait. Also, if not in automatch, people can join my games (I think this may be flaky however)... 'tis strange...

Automatching....
1/2 Players Currently Automatched...
New Players are joining your game... ... ...

And then nothing. My firewall is off, and I am the DMZ is enabled... So, I'm not sure what the issue could be.

Here's the log from the most recent attempt :

I've been having a similar problem, but it sometimes affects me when someone else is hosting as well. What version of Windows have you got? I tend to blame all my problems and random crashes on ME, as it's unstable in itself and doesn't support the latest drivers for my hardware. I'll see if things improve when I get XP.

[Auctoritas]

Ah, regretably, I have Windows XP pro... perhaps there is still a way to blame it on Microsoft...

(I once had the greater pain known as ME as well)

[Quizango]
