No Multiplayer games in game lobby

Latest version
I cannot see any multiplayer games in the game lobby
Checking OpenRA site and
23 players are online in 11 advertised servers.
I cannot see any and it's always empty (same with TD)
Any ideas?
Edit: (system details)
My current install of Windows 7 is rather broken (upgraded to Win8 and had to manually revert back to Win7 by using backed up Windows.dir [long story]).
So I would assume its a problem windows side? Possibly some missing windows file(s)?

It says that it's refreshing the server list... might get a bit further if you waited for that to finish.

You can check at

Have you allowed a Firewall/AV exception for OpenRA? This is the simplest thing I can think of at the moment. If so (or if you're unable to see), try reinstalling the game to a different directory and start it again.
Usually the Windows Firewall warning message pops-up as soon as you try connecting/starting a multiplayer lobby, but if it doesn't then alt-tab out to double check if it's there at all.
I doubt that it's a problem with missing Windows files, as that would most likely screw up more than just this one game.

We encountered another player with a similar problem (theirs was with the content download) a while back, and we tracked that down to a broken windows install. I suspect this will be a similar problem.
You could try reinstalling the .net framework, but you may end up needing a full windows reinstall.

Yea 90% sure you are right on this, It's no biggie as the solution is almost undoubtedly a Windows Re-install, however i have to hold off on this for the time being.
So if you or anyone else in the meantime can think of any possible workarounds let me know. I'll try a re-install of .NET framework.
If I get it working I'll report back ;-)
