4x4 Evolution's chat server is not hosted by GameSpy. The only services it uses at GameSpy are the buddy list functions. The 4x4Evo chat server handles both chatting and setting up lobbies / games. If you guys are having trouble reaching the main chat server for 4x4 Evolution, you need to use the direct-ip functions to play online.

To do this follow these steps:

1.) Sign online with 4x4 Evo
2.) Wait 2-3 minutes for the game to timeout during connection.
3.) Host a direct-ip game

When you host a game the ip-address for your hosted game will be displayed on the screen. You can distribute this to other users in a variety of ways. If you have access to the internet from your broadband connected PC, you can distribute the IP to friends via a message board, email, or instant message. Another way is to PM the IP address to your friends via your GameSpy buddy list. If you and your friends are signed into gamespy, you can send them the IP address so they can connect to your game.

You can even manage your buddy list via the GameSpy Arcade software on the PC, by adding or removing players. Note that you cannot be logged into both 4x4 Evo and GameSpy arcade at the same time.
