Hi guys, first post for me, registered just for this message =)
wellwell, to the point:
Im having the same problem as you are, but i can also host games while unplugged. as far as i see:
The developers, by some unimaginable reason, hard-coded the multiplayer behavior to connect to some server. dont know which, but it doesnt seem online. it might also be the game trying to send its "Hello, now i'm hosted"-msg to the server managing all the hosted games u can find with the in-game browser. another option might be harder game-spy integration, which would explain the fact that it DOES work for some ppl. (e.g. those who have installed gamespy)
im gonna try install gamespy and see if that helps, otherwise i would urge all crackers to make a new working exe.
c ya
