changedDear all, Due to recent the Windows update, the file - miniupnp.dll has become inaccessible on all our build and development machines. We surmise that due to the update, with additional security, the file which is a 3rd party library is not generated from the build machine, will be blocked from execution. As a result, the network component loadup fails and you'll suddenly lose the ability to even host or join a game. To unblock: 1) Library -> Foresight -> Properties -> Local Files -> Browse Local Files 2) Look for miniupnp.dll 3) Select it and right-click on it 4) There'll be an unblock button below - click on it to unblock. 5) Restart your PC. It's not sufficient to just unblock and run Foresight again. 6) Once done, you should be able to play multiplayer. Notes: This is due to us using the 3rd party mini upnp library which we're intending to do away with after integration with Steam API. Foresight's old IP-based multiplayer will revert back to being just LAN-based or direct IP-based (ie, machines not behind a router). We apologise for any inconveniences caused. Please note that this is not necessary if you do not intend to play multiplayer. Regards, Jeremy
