Right, I am posting this thread as a favour for zep ( ). The symptoms are simple:
The automatch loads, the SupCom cursor arrow loads, but the screen is blank/black with no background or "connecting" window in the middle. This means I have to alt+tab out of the application and close it by right clicking on it from the task bar.
Once I have done the above the error message comes up saying that I had trouble connecting and that a connection via the proxy server was requested but had also failed.

Enjoy trawling through the logs I have had this problem before but it has become more frequent recently. I was told by zep that it occurs when the other person disconnects from the game before it has gone to the connecting screen, but I find it unlikely that it would happen this often if that were the case.
Edit: Oh shit, it looks the the embedding is not working.
