Our first quick hot fix patch is here with a critical issue being fixed. Thank you to those that helped me figure this one out. If you have been having issues with connecting to a multiplayer game then please try again now with this patch.
If anyone runs into any issues then please report it and I will do my best to fix it promptly. I'm dedicating the next while to bug fixing so I am available and willing!
