Gair 0 Posted July 14, 2012 I've recently updated to the new 1.7.2 and once I tried to log into any server I would get stuck at 'Wait for Host' which wouldn't go away. I could still abort by using ESC.I've updated to the 94945(latest) patch. I do not have any firewall enabled and I am running the game as admin, the mod is also properly showing up in my mods.Any help, anyone?Thanks in advance.

Guest Posted July 14, 2012 Hey Gair,Try a different server, it could be that the server you're trying to join is having connectivity / whitelist issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
