Playing Multiplayer

[ItzDabz]

So I have read some different threads regarding how DeepSilver has had shut down all the official servers for the game but, you can still play MP using third party programs. I was wondering what are these 3rd party server programs that everyone keeps referring to? Also where can I find these 3rd party programs and what do you have to exactly do to be able to use them? Where do you download them at and how do you install them and use them to play MP matches online in the game? If someone can fully break it down for me on what these 3rd party stuff are and how to be able to use them to play MP online that would be really awesome!

Well, first off, if you actually read everything in most of the threads about setting up, and playing LAN games in S2, then you would have come across people stating what programs are used.

That aside, though I have not used it personally, Tunngle is the more popular option for S2 multiplayer. They some what have a matchmaking for games and that would let you join random games, or have random people join your game. As I said though, I have not used Tunngle, so I do not know much about it. http://www.tunngle.net/

I also believe Hamachi can be used, though you would need to know the people, and give them your Hamachi Network info for them to join you. An Unmanaged account is all that is needed. https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/download.aspx

YouTube and Google are where you can find walkthroughs on how to set them up. And I would personally advise researching both to find out what you really want to do.
