Save Empire Earth

Recently I started having the "WS_AsyncSocket_Shutdown" error when I try to join a game in direct connect. I used to be able to join them, I have since installed a GR client of EE (which is also malfunctioning). I can both joining and host games in the normal lobby (with ping, the gameports are forwarded).

Reinstalling the patch does not seem to solve the problem..

Any suggestions?

I always wondered about this problem. It seems to me like some bug of EE itself.
