What works

Nothing, without the workaround.

What does not

On my system it would not even finish loading to the main menu without the workaround.

Workarounds

I had to build a fixed version of iphlpapi.dll with the patch from bug 54251 / 54252 that breaks out of an infinite loop when the DNS is at all odd.

What was not tested

Everything, ___without the patch__.

With the patch I was able to play in single player, and have not yet had any friends interested in multiplayer.

Hardware tested

• GPU: AMD
