You can't join a server that's already up, you need to connect to the host when he's in the server lobby.



Sound, if you can't hear anything, you are probably missing OpenAL. There should be a message displayed when you start the game about it.

OpenAL can be downloaded here:

OpenAL can be downloaded here: http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/default.aspx Found that some controllers can't assign all buttons in the game, this can be done manually in the config.cfg file for now (360-controller seems to work fine, except for the analog triggers).



Some built in graphics cards have issues with not showing the minimap.
