MP - problems

[Diabolico]

Yesterday evening, with a bunch of consenting players, Damocles tried without success to host a game by "direct IP", without success. His server kept disconnecting.
The community is growing so we are more and more people wanting to play this game online on a regular basis.
I know that this is annoying for you guys, but because I love this game, I will continue to bitch and moan about the impossibility to play a MP game without a dedicated server and the lack of a 24/7 dedicated server.
Remember that a game without good MP may become like Latin or Greek, a dead language and nobody here wants that to happen.
I am not asking for 32+ players online simultaneously, but we have been as much as 5 trying to play simultaneously, each trying to host and join, respectively, without success.
The symptons are usually :
- People don't appear on the server list
- They appear on the server list but as offline, so impossible to join
- The game freezes or CTDs on some rare occasions.

Thank you for reading this and good luck with your debugging,
