    MP won't connect? Here's why.

    OK, tons of people have been angry because they can't connect to multiplayer, and they keep making new topics about the issue and it's getting really annoying. From what I've read, you are behind a firewall which is blocking certain connections on port 80, therefore prohibiting you from connecting to MP. There isn't much you can do about this, just wait until LD and the administrators work out a solution, because I know they will.

    Be patient, people.

    EDIT: Sorry please move to Bugreport.

      It's a little more involved than that i'm afraid. I don't even fully understand it. Bassicly, there are 2 types of connections that could come through and some routers block the type of connection that MP is on port 80. We are still trying to find a way around this.
