Hello Hosters.
Patch Z13 contains an attempt to improve this issue. I investigated this often reported bug and it seems that would normally come up when the guest was trying to send a UDP packet to the host. UDP packets are sent by the guest at this stage of the connection process 4 times per second in the hope that one will get to the host. After 6 seconds the host would simply close the connection and the guest computer would report to its user "Did not receive guest info".
That was not a very informative message, so now if a Z13 host does not receive a UDP packet at that stage, it sends a text message "Host did not receive UDP packet" back to the guest after 6 seconds. The guest will receive that message (and translate it if the guest computer is not English) and display the message on the screen. Also a debug message "Did not receive UDP packet from new guest" is displayed on the host instead of "New guest timed out".
So... although this does not solve the actual problem, it does give hosts and guests some clue where to look in trying to solve the problem. On guest side I've also increased the UDP packet spamming to 5 per second instead of 4, so it's slightly more likely that one packet will get through and connection will be successful.
