I am currently downloading the Windows 10 Anniversary update, and I will update this post with personal experience once I am finished.

*UPDATE* The Windows 10 Anniversary Update worked for me! Currently downloading! Make sure you change your app install location if your local drive is running low on space!

There currently is no server browser in the game, but I hear that friends can invite each other for custom games. I will be trying to get more Yume Yumiko members to get on it, so hopefully we can host games for people to join in on.

Hope to see you guys online sometime!
