Hey, Can Some One Please Help Me With This? :)

So I have tried playing vaultmp with new vegas and fallout 3 and whenever I am done with all of the installing and I get vaultmaster, vault server, and then vault mp up it works fine. but after I get past the master query and then sync I try to join. As soon as I see the black screen for the game to load it crashes. I have no other mods to the game that would be effecting this.

I realize this game is in .1 alpha so im not trying to bash or say that it should be completely working

I was just wondering if any one has had this problem and has been able to fix it because my friend can go online fine its just not working well with me thats all :/

help would be greatly appreciated
thanks.

Is your version of the game from a torrent? Also, do you have the latest patch installed?

Make sure steam isn't validating the files before startup, this can overwrite any changed you may have made to the game's client.
