Hosting
To host a game that other people can join, just click on Host
after clicking Play on the main menu.
Then on the lobby page, click Open Slot to allow someone to join the game.
When someone joins the open slot the slot will change to an occupied slot with
the joining players information in it.
The host is able to change any game parameters, but the joined players can't.
The host can also force the other player to disconnect by clicking on the boot
next to the player.
To start the match, just press the Go button, but the match will only
be able to start after all the players have said they were ready.

Joining
To join a multiplayer game click on the Join button after clicking on
the Play button on the main menu.
You will then need to type in the IP address of the computer who has a game
running and a open slot. After typing in the address press the Join
button to attempt to connect to the host computer. If the connection is successful
you will be shown the other players and be able to change your character as well
as chat. If the connection was not successful a dialog will popup telling of the
problem connecting.
If you want to disconnect, press the Back button. When you are ready to
start the game press Ready. However, pressing Ready does not start
the game, it just needs to be pressed by all joined players before the host can
start the game.

Notes
If you have problems connecting make sure: You have the right IP address, you
are trying to connect on the correct port (See
options), and the host has a slot open.
The game is designed to only handle fast connection speeds such as a LAN. Trying
the game with slower connections could result in high lag and poor game results.
