Can some-one help me out here, because I'm really thick when it comes to the technical side of whats happening here, and all the explanations in the world about why I'm not able to play, the only on-line game I do play, just go over my head.

Can someone please tell me 'in basic terms' Why is it so hard to upgrade Total Annihilation from Wireplay 2 where it can be played, to wireplay 3 where it can't.

I'm not shouting at anyone, because I'd be guilty of biggotry if I did and I'm not complaining, because the programmers are probably doing their best for us with the resources that they have.

All I want is for someone to give me the simplest basic explanation without the technical jargon and a possible start date for my game on this system.

Please do not use the terms 'when its ready' or 'it will be soon' these phrases just get my, and readers of these posts backs up. Please only use either of the two phrases listed:
1.You will be able to play TA in 1 week*/1 month*/1 year*
2. You will not be able to play TA on wireplay version
I thank you for an early response to this post as I may soon be logging off forever and a pity that would be:)

MAIN FLAME,

Please do not leave if people like you leave there is no point in putting all the work in that we have. I will attempt to answer your question without using any of the words the 'get your backs up'.

The problem that has caused the greatest set back for peer to peer has been found. IIS is the next....trying too stay away from the technical terms.

You should be fine this evening to play TA and all other peer to peer games. If you are still having problems after this evening then please post this evening or tommorow. We have had reports from TA players that it has been working,

Look forward to hearing from you,

Welsby.
