the new update screwed up my hosting ability

[hammydude]

Today i tried logging into the server, and it said there was an update, the .74b2. I downloaded and installed it, and played for a while, on other people's hosted games. Then I tried hosting a game, and it would not let me.

I hosted games all of yesterday with hole punching, it worked fine. For some reason now with the new update I can not host games, everyone times out. I look and somehow since yesterday the update has manged to reset my ip address from xxx.xxx.x.46 to "obtain ip address automatically. So I reverted it back to my old ip address, and still it wont let me host. The server spams my local channel with messages like:

[6:57:11 PM] Error punching through NAT: player's IP is unknown!

and

[7:07:39 PM] Error: Server sent unknown or invalid command!

I have not installed anything or made any network changes since yesterday, only the new ta update. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hole punching is apparently broken. Try connecting without it or just joining other players games for the time being.

Can you (or anyone else who is having same problem) try updated client and tell me if this fixes the issue? (you only need to unzip it to your spring folder and run this exe instead of the default one)

ok thanks, that new update works fine.
