Whenever I try to host/join, the screen will pop up, except instead of seeing my name, it'll display Chinese characters. I've downloaded the new update, but I only replaced the MySql.Data.dll file and the launcher with the new ones from the update.

as i have known from the Old Ygopro..Chines words means That '' This game has already started ''
or try to close ur Launcher and reopen it..if it didnt work then..No Clue O.O
Oh and if u host try to name ur Game something Weird it might match other People's game names so..Yeah xD

I get this a lot but it could be numerous things, it could be the fact that the server isn't recognizing your host name or that it just can't push you through to their game, or that the game has already started. I think in this intense its the update though, i haven't gotten my launcher working quite just yet but when i do i'll be sure to tell you.

In the mean time, just try basic host names, such as join123 and if that doesn't work than just time will tell

sorry!

I was having the same problem last night regardless of my game name. Not sure what's up. I'll look into it more tonight.

Lol okok

When the thing give chinese character it it means something like the servers are close to max size...idk dont worry its not you it pro in general Seto explained to me but I didnt really listen

Not true. This has happened before the update and I've managed to make it work by changing game names. Now, the server has only like over a dozen people on so I highly doubt it's because the server's reached max size.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's been having these problems. In the meantime, I should probably do more homework or something... lol

Welp, problem is resolved now, thanks for all the feedback!
