Ive had this problem for about a week now and its really annoying: it doesnt allow me to connect to ANY multiplayer games...

When I goto join a server it loads normal and then I get in and it says right away:

"Lost connection to host"
and than grayed out a lil
"Waiting for players"

Someone please help me...Ive downloaded the new patch...nothing changed...its reallly annoying...and I cant return the game...Im really pissed and I wanna play with my friends

behind a router? This is strange though. Have you tried connecting with command-line parameters? (all seeing eye, xfire)

Yeap...I have a router...but that wouldnt be the problem since it was working fine for about a week...then just outta the blue stopped...I downloaded Xfire a couple days ago, Ill have to check that out...hell Ill do it right now...
