This is so frustrating. I see people on-line in my friends list, set up a game and wait. I can't invite them (feature doesn't work), I can't contact them (no option) and they don't come on Ventrilo. (Seemingly for no reason beyond not bothering trying)
Since I've had problems joining the odd game (get cannot connect to host) when people don't join I worry if there's a problem for any multiple of reasons (despite having hosted three games against two different people successfully) or whether they're afk and left themselves logged in or whatever other explanation.
It's a great game in multiplayer once you start playing but, as it stands, unless people take advantage of Ventrilo (even if you don't have a microphone there is text chat) or some other IM then it's a nightmare to get a game going.
