Argh... this is really becoming frustrating: Grahamule and I used to play MP EU a lot, and it was good. However, he went on a trip over the summer, and in his absence, I went on a massive spyware purge on my computer and killed a huge quantity of things, and downloaded some mods and stuff for EU. When he came back, we attempted to play, and for whatever reason, it didn't work. I blamed it on the mod I had downloaded, and went through a lot of work trying to fix it: uninstalling, reinstalling, repatching, and everything like that. However, this didn't work either, which I blamed on IGC not patching correctly, and the issue was eventually forgotten.
Now, though, Grahamule has gotten Victoria, and though we had high hopes for MP possibilities, the same thing happened. "There is no game host found at *such and such IP*" I don't know what's going on, neither does he. So, we have come to the forum for help.
Does anyone have any ideas why this could be happening? Neither of us have problems with single-player, and he is able to join others' MP games (he can in both games, I have not tried to join any other people's Vicky games yet). Could I have inadvertently crippled my computer during the spyware purge, or are our games probably just a bit incompatible? (we tried to patch everything the same, but could have missed things)
Thanks, anyone who can help.
