To anyone who reads, thank you for taking the time to try and help us with this matter.

Me and my SO have been trying to play Red Alert 3's Coop Multiplayer for around 4 hours now, to little success. We've gotten what seems to be everything working, and worked through the troubleshooting, however whenever we attempt to make a game together something odd happens.

Whoever makes the game can seem to make it and invite the other one just fine. However, on attempting to connect, the person trying to connect will almost immediate disconnect with the message of "Automatch Aborted".

Meanwhile, the host will only see their status as "staging", regardless of what continues to happen. What's even more curious is that the person who was given the 'aborted' message will no long to allowed to create games - coop, skirmish, or otherwise - there won't be any errors for this beyond a message that says "Failed to create new game". This, despite the fact that they could create games *before* they were rejected from the failed attempt to join the game.

We're not on the same network when we try this, so we know that's not an issue. Below will be the NATNegTest results from both of our machines, and if more information is needed I'll be happy to try and provide it. If anyone can shed any light on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Additional Information:

• We are both using the Steam Version of Red Alert 3
