I agree, but as I mentioned in my original post, there are no firewalls involved here. This is a problem with Internet play on Homeworld 2 1.1.0. It works for LAN play, but not Internet play. Fortunately, the problem has been fixed in Homeworld 2 1.1.1. After upgrading, I am now able to play multiplayer games on the Internet. This is truly an excellent game. Thank you, Aspyr, for fixing the Internet play bug. I was ready to take an oath never to buy an Aspyr product again, but you have restored my faith! [alert admin]

Homeworld 2 1.1.0 (Mac OS X)

Internet Multiplayer Games Won't Start  

Has anyone been able to play an Internet multiplayer game of Homeworld 2? A friend and I have successfully played Homeworld 2 over a LAN, but when we attempt to play over the Internet, the "join" side always times out with the error message "Can't connect to host" and the "host" side just sits idle with no indication that anyone has attempted to connect. We have also tried launching Internet games using GameRanger. This gives the same result ("join" side times out). Both machines are PowerMac G4 1.42/DPs with direct (no firewall) broadband Internet connections. Other games such as Halo, Warcraft III, Age of Mythology, and many others work fine, so this looks like a Homeworld 2 issue to me. [alert admin]
