Still MP Problems

[HowieWowie]

We tried again to get a MP game going. We were both able to log into the lobby. I hosted a game and Chris attempted to Join. This is where it hung up. We were stuck at the JOINING message and could no further.

Thanks for the report. Strangely, it seems that a .NET routine that we've been using successfully for years to parse IP addresses is now failing. I think I've fixed it in our code here. We're looking into whether we can fix this on the server, so that we wouldn't need a new patch, but if we can't do that, we'll try to get a patch out to fix this soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It should be working now. We just finished a successful test using V1.18 and everything seems OK now. Please let me know if you encounter any further problems like this.
