Zombie Grinder is the debut game of TwinDrills, an indie game development duo made up of Tim 'Infini' Leonard and Jordan 'Jordizzle' Chewning. It's a multi-platform (windows, mac, Linux!) (also Free!) cooperative multiplayer arcade game, reminiscent in style and gameplay of retro games like 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors' and 'Super Smash TV!', but with the added benefit of some newer game mechanics - achievements, ranking, player-customization, rpg style stats and so forth. The game sports a variety of different game modes, from co-operative 'campaign' style levels, to wave maps and even the classic 'pvp' style game modes - deathmatch, capture the 'bag' and so forth. All of these mods are bristling with a variety of weapons and items, all lovingly displayed in Jordan's classic quirky pixel-art style.

Up until about an hour or so ago, I have been creating my own games to play in. However, since then I have not been able to make a game for some reason. Nothing has changed, aside from the fact that when it tries to connect to game it takes a long time then fails and claims:

Unable to connect to server.

Server may be down for maintenance or an update is currently in progress, try restarting your game or trying again in a few minutes.

I have tried restarting my game and trying again, but I see other games made in the Join Game lobby. I even joined one successfully myself, until I was booted from it since I think I barged in on 3 friends who wanted to play among themselves and not with others. Is there anything I can do about being able to host my own games again?

Open task manager, got to processes tab, and right click -> end process on all the "ZombieGrinder.exe" instances.

Then try again, if that dosen't work, tell me :)
