Hi, I am new player here and just installed the mod. But, sadly, I can't create or join to existing games. It is problem with my computer/connection or server?

The game server is up at the moment, so it's probably something on your end.

Are you getting a failed to join game message every time you try?

Yes, every time I try. I tried creating new chars with no success at all.

Do you have a firewall? It sounds to me like something is blocking the ports needed to join games, specifically port 4000.

Nope I don't. Well I play on other private (modded) servers, and original battle.net as well. problem occurs only there...

Did you patch diablo 2 LoD to 1.13d before installing annihilus?

Of course, as addition I tried mod on single player and it runs flawlessly.

Ok that means there isn't an issue with the patch or server, it's something on your end that is blocking you from joining a game.

So it's like internet provider blocked my connection to some port range or something? I'll try this patch in my home tommorow and will check if that's the cause.

It has to be something along those lines. If it was a server issue you wouldn't be able to connect to the server at all, or the game server could be down and everyone else would be having the same issue as you(which is not the case at the moment). If it was a patch issue you'd be able to join a game, but your client would crash shortly after joining.

Yes, that Was probably the cause. At my home I can create game without any problems. But another issue appears - notorious lag (200-500 ping), but i think I cannot overcome it, because I am from eastern europe, and this server is in US.

Most Eu players do have higher ping. I can't think of anything to help along those lines. There might be a vpn relay program similar to wtfast that might work. I don't know how useful those things are. No computer settings will fix your lag however. :(
