Waiting for Host... how dose it work?

im simply asking this cause i only ever got to play a mini game when the host was part of the que other then that its the same song and dance wait 1 minuet or so game looks like it will load and kicked back to the main menu

i know this sounds like a bug but whats the reason to have this feature where i have to wait for the host or something

why is it not like how it was back in GMod Tower where there was no host needed 24/7

im just curious and frustrated at the same time

The kick back to the menu is a bug which is being worked on/has been fixed. But its mainly because whoever was going to be the host quits or crashes so it just boots you to the menu… At least thats what I think happens

Or their firewall prevents you from connecting to them.

so Fire walls like Nortan can screw things over greatly then well good to know im using Microsoft Essentual Security i never liked Norton Any way it was slow and clunky

Most routers have a firewall on them too. You’d have to allow TU to have access through it and not all network setups are… set up that way

well i tried everything in the latest version

Messing with Graphics to improve load times to the point the game looked Pixilated ( Failed )
Messing with Firewall settings ( Failed )

the only time it seemed to work was when i joined a server that was in Australia OR if the HOST of the main area server was present in the roster of players for the minigame

but other then that i don’t know what to do but i will continue to test for the developers each version is out

I have been having this issue a lot when trying to join from the plaza. When I join from the main menu I (almost) never get problems.
