Lost ability to host MP iL2 COD

[DoctorStrop]

Hi all,

I just bought iL2 COD on Steam. When I first got it I managed to host a server with a dog fight map, and a friend managed to join, and have a fly about.

I tried again yesterday, and followed the same procedure to host, but neither my friend nor myself could select a team. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it I still have the same issue. Something has changed and I am totally clueless as to what. We have both searched for this problem but can't find anything. The odd thing is that it has happened to his copy, also bought on Steam. I'm guessing it might be something to do with the data that gets synchronised with Steam, somehow getting corrupted.

I have not applied any non steam patches, mainly as I am unable to find out what the last non beta patch is.

Please can anyone can suggest what might have happened?

Regards

Andy
