However, it lets me create a game, although my opponent couldn't see me at the forum (I could see him), afterwards the game started sudddenly not to show his moves in the deployment phase, although he had been able to see mine, and when we tried to load saved games most of the times we couldn't.
...
At the start of a NetPlay game, one player logs into the forum from the opening screen and waits. The other player creates the game, choosing the scenario and optional rules, then putting in the player names and choosing sides. Once the Creator clicks to start the game, the program enters the forum and checks for the opponent. There are a couple of message sent back and forth by the program (on both computers) to make sure everything is ready. If all is well, the game starts.
Which names appear in the list of players on the forum varies, depending on the timing of the message exchanges. Don't worry about that. If the game starts on both computers, then you are good to go.
Moves made by one players not showing up on his opponent's computer is more worrying. There can again be a time delay here, especially if the person not making moves is doing other stuff (e.g., checking on Force Pools or the like). Eventually the program should catch up with any backlog of messages and update the second computer to match the first. Be careful with messing around with Production Planning during setup if you are not setting up units. On my task list is to make certain that one side cannot change the production planning for the other side (e.g., Germany deciding that the Commonwealth doesn't want to save any oil).
As always, more specific information on problems helps us better understand what is going on.
