So like... this is going to take a while to explain x_x. It just gets weirder and weirder by the second.

Last Night, Rowan (Panda Song) and I (Falysia) are able to party just fine and dandy with no problems whatsoever. Today, however, something really weird happens. When I host and Rowan joins me, her latency bars are orange, instead of blue. We pay no heed at first, thinking nothing's wrong and I try to start the mission. The game stops at the loading screen and stays there infinitely, resulting in my having to close the client.

So then we decide to try something new. She'll host and I join. We do that, except my loading screen stops infiitely while trying to get on her boat. =_= She kicks me and I reload back in town just fine. Okay so we think it's a friend's list thing so we delete each other and try again. Same thing happens when I host and when she hosts.

Then we try something else. She gets on an alt and hosts, while I try to join with my main. I get the infinite load again before boarding. So I try getting on an alt and joining. Infinite loading screen again.

This is where it gets weird. I host and she joins. Perfectly normal connection. Blue bars and all. So she switches to her main... Orange bars T_T. Then I try another thing I get on main and host, and she joins with alt... BLUE BARS WHATTHEHELLISGOINGON?T_T

So... we have narrowed it down to her character, Rowan, going weird but we dunno what's going on T_T

Just a quick note since he forgot to add this; We can join and host other parties just fine. We also tried with our other friend, Grimzo, and he could join my party (granted, he was bouncing from one bar to three bars the entire dungeon). However, Grimzo could not join Falysia's party at all. Though we're going to try that again to see if it's still not working with him.

Edit* Grimzo managed to get in this time for Falysia. It looks like it's just Rowan. >_< And hosting for Falysia.

Edit #2: I did do a few of these tweaks a while ago. But we were way fine before the maintenance. I do use Ausologics (however, not the speed booster since my key from a while ago isn't working and they haven't e-mailed me back). D: We're undoing the changes right now to see if that fixes it... but so far it's done nothing. If it also helps.. we updated our Windows 7 last night, lol.

:( With tweaks and with no tweaks, tried it all. D: The Hamachi program says we're blocked to each other or something (I blame Heretic's router! lol).

Poor Aish-ness. :( One day, it will be your fault and totally not my computer's. I still say your computer called my computer fat.

Anyways, the solution for this problem was.. *drum rolls* For me to get frustrated, yell "screw it!" and reinstall windows again. It works beautifully now! :D 3-4 bars all the time!
