New hosting system

[RandomUser]

Well, since the change of the hosting system as of version 0.67b1 many people behind routers and with correct portforwarding aren't able to host anymore.
So my question is: Are there actually people who weren't able to host before the update but are able now?

It's just so terribly annoying I now have to wait for open games (which can take like forever) when before the update I used to host games for months

Well I guess I'll revert it back as it was before since quite some people are having problems with it, although I haven't figured out what's the cause for it yet.

Yes, myself and my neighbour :)

Well, like you said on mantis, I think the best solution would be have a switch so we can get the best of both.

something more to this problem

2 local IP computers at same network behind NAT with one external IP

computer 1 host game and if i use firewall it detect incoming traffic from computer 2
but there is no traffic going back to computer 2
and computer 2 reports it can't connect to server and times out

as result computer 1 or computer 2 can't host games for each other ... they can play games only if someone else hosts ...
