Maybe Petey can translate this into plain English?
I mean, if I try hard, I will understand and reproduce this tutorial, but it wont make fun. This guy don't like making a tutorial.
But luckily they got written tutorials on there side :-)

I'm wondering if anyone else has gone through and run the code presented in this video? I got it all to work, except sending messages back and forth. My log file is showing ThreadExceptions when I send a message in.

I'm curious if anyone else ran into those issues or have any thoughts?

I have completed it, but for some reason I get an error that states that Concurcy(sp) is not part of the ExitGames namespace even though I can see it when I use the object explorer.

I am thinking my problem might have to do with using VisualStudio 10, and they are using 9 in the video. Dunno. I will have to play around with it more when I get the time.

Hey Petey,

I got that error too, I fixed it by doing this:

Right click on "PhotonClient" and select properties.
On the Application Tab, switch from Target Framework: ".NET Framework 4 Client Profile" to ".NET Framework 4"

So, I sent my code into the guys at exitgames.com, they don't see any errors in the code or explanation as to why I would be getting Thread exceptions and StackOverFlow errors. The videos were very informative non-the-less and gave me a greater understanding of how the Client/Server code works together; which is the most important part.
