Why is online play stuttering / lagging? The game requires a broadband internet connection for optimal performance, with a MINIMUM of 128Kbps downstream and upstream to join an online game.

For more information regarding online play, please visit: http://www.trublu.com.au Why can't I host online games? It says I have a firewall? The game needs to have free communication on UDP port 21512 in order to host or join a multiplayer session online. If you have any firewall software installed (such as Windows XP firewall, Tiny Personal Firewall, Norton Internet Security, etc) or if your computer is not directly connected to the internet, you may need to perform additional steps (such as "pinholing" or "port forwarding") before you can host online multiplayer games.
