Alright, I went from 3.1.??? to 3.709 then today's update before I played again.

WHY is the game like this, its nearly impossible to get a co-op game setup.
Before we had no issues while using hamachi, now we can connect as me as the host but we can't launch the game.
There is no ready check for the host and the game won't let me start the game until I click ready.

I'm using Windows 7 64bit and my buddy uses Windows Vista 64bit.

Since we couldn't start a game I cheated starting a game.
I started a single player game and managed players to add my buddy a slot.
Then 1 minute into the game the AI unloaded 500 ships into my home planet and we lost. Yay.

I miss playing ai war now.
First, I am sorry about the difficulties you are facing.  I hope you're able to play 3.189 (or 3.120) and still have fun.  Further, I hope (and fully expect) that 4.0 will give you an even better experience than you have had in the past.

Second, please reflect on the tone and attitude of your post.  How would you feel if I responded with

WHY are you like this, its nearly impossible to get you to read and understand the list of known issues...
I won't try to parallel the whole thing ;)

Please understand that I would not speak that way to you, it would be indecent.  But consideration must needs go both ways.

At this stage, let's not dogpile -- water under the bridge, I understand frustration, just we're not thrilled with having that taken out on us for an early beta.  But, anyway, on to happier things.

Deep breaths, everyone!

Fox has clearly made a mistake and now they look rather silly.

Seems like punishment enough to me!

I get transient, from-an-unknown-source, bugs that cause waves of 1500 ships. ;)

Sometimes we prefer the frozen-statue result.  Much easier to preserve the expression ;)

No, that would be a violation of privacy.  But armies of neinzul-AI hybrids with cryogenic-freeze-rays are entirely ethical :)
