Hey guys,

Sorry for jumping directly into your thread here. I'm one of the developers behind Evolve and we noticed you guys were trying us out, so I just wanted to let you know that we'd love to hear any feedback you might have while trying out the party system (and Evolve in general). We're very interested in improving Evolve so it "just works" for as many people as possible.

With that said, I'm a little unclear on two things I've seen in posts above:

1) Why do you need to move the virtual network adapter around on the Windows priority list? That was a thing Hamachi often required, but I'm not sure why you need to with Evolve since we make sure to hijack broadcast traffic properly? If this really is a problem, I'd love to figure out why so we can fix it.

2) "NB: If and when you Vista/Win7 users get a network security pop-up every time you connect to a party, please choose Public option for max security. Home/Work isn't "unsafe", it just means other Home/Work set-up users can see any shared files/folders you may have.". I'd highly recommend selecting Work rather than Public since the Windows Firewall might block broadcast traffic (or other things) that your game needs. Evolve has a built-in firewall that should protect you against most common "dangerous" ports.

Again, I hope you don't mind me jumping in here. :)

Happy gaming!
