Although I don't "know" the fix for your problem, I suggest you post your system specifications, first, that way we can know if you can even run the game, and hopefully we can get you some help. The in game browser is a current known problem, see
[url]http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=79944[/URL] here, Im sure it will get fixed soon. The fact you can't join through Steam either suggests another problem is present. You can 1) delete your RO2 folder in your Documents/My Games/ , the game will generate new ones when you start it up next time, this sometimes fixes things, 2) Make sure your antivirus or firewall isn't preventing you from joining ( you can disable the AV or make it disregard any programs by Steam and/or RO). Hopefully this will get you on the road to the battlefield. TWB*SlowBull (by posting a response to your post, I "bumped it, too
