I did forward my ports. I hosted fine with forwarded ports long before the "everyone can host" update, and for a while after that. Now, with absolutely no changes to anything, people can't connect to my server.
Which is kind of ironic because people still couldn't host
The main new feature is that port forwarding is no longer necessary for most people.
No, some people still cannot host.
CORRECTION:Everyone could host. The people complaining they couldn't? Were morons who didn't know what they were doing/talking about.
