6.00.032 multiplayer temporarily unable to see specific hosts in the list server

[djjd42]

After having no problems starting our regular sessions during the 6.00.027 era, my father and I upgraded to 6.00.032 tonight and for a while neither of us could host a session that the other could see. Moreover, when we took turns trying to host, whoever was trying to join saw a different set of sessions than the other person did when they took a turn to try to join. In the end after a few reloads and various checks into things we were able to connect but I found the issue odd after having issue-free sessions until upgrading to 6.00.032.

Are there multiple (perhaps regional) list servers? Or were we just seeing a temporary anomaly?

You were probably seeing the results of a just posted beta....

There is a list server for .027 and earlier, and a list server for .030 and later versions. If you and your father were using the same version of the software, you should see the same list of sessions.

Given your confirmation that there should have been just one list server for us to see, assuming we were on the correct versions, I now suspect that my father may have updated his launcher but not the program itself (either that or he encountered some kind of update problem, though that is less likely), since at some point during trying to figure things out we had rolled back to .027 and then re-updated to .032 and it was only during that process that I went through the version confirmations with him both during the upgrade and afterwards in the sim.

I think we can chalk this one up to PEBKAC :) , and I'll keep an eye open for it during future updates.
