This is happening to almost everyone. It's apparently not our faults. If we were able to host fine yesterday, and not today, something is obviously wrong with the master server, or whatever.

If you cannot host you seriously are doing something wrong.

You were probably doing something wrong in the first place, so the game defaulted to using the matchmaking server in order to try fixing it. That service has been unstable recently.
