Well I thought this update only made the game stick to the Galaxy servers by chaning the connection or something like that. I bought the game here but did not downloaded it since the update because it forcefully install Galaxy also. It is possible they're removed the LAN during the network setting's change in the game. As much as I heard it works like Steam except you can run it without Galaxy.

That's interesting, I'm still able to play LAN after the update. I tested it a couple minutes ago just to make double sure.

Are both versions the new update? I had to do that or one would crash. They're also 2 seperate purchases/accounts, though I can't imagine that would make any difference.

I found it odd that i can host a LAN server with 64 players and no AI, but I can't host an Internet server that allows more than 4 people with the rest as AI

If anyone has tried both installers and can use LAN can you please take a screenshot showing the option?
