Just bought the game, fresh install, invited friend to play and can't join his game becasue says "host has different version of the game".I tried hosting but he got the same message, but in his version it says my version is something with "e6", and my game says I have version 2.2.3 1960 which is theoretically the same as his ver but we can't connect to each other's games.

However, a very strange things happens. His game client shows a big amount of servers when scanning for servers while mine shows NO SERVERS, 0 servers, none. this makes me believe my game has something wrong.

paradox pls.
