a way to fix hamachi? (fixed and solution)

[Billy!]

So my friend brought arma 3 and i decided to make a server, but becouse i have to make a server in my router we decided to use hamachi, but when we get it to work and one of us make a LAN server we cant see eachother's servers. We cant even join with direct join. Is there a way to fix this?

Do you own the game? If so, you can host sessions over the internet. In the "Host Server" section in the game, the selection bar that says "LAN" on it, has a left and right arrow. Press them, to switch to hosting over internet instead of LAN. Then go to your routers configuration page and port forward the default ports required for Arma. In some cases you might need to disable any firewalls you have enabled as well.

Port forwarding is essential and one of the base requirements of learning how to host games for your friends in most games. It is a required skill to know how to forward ports on your router if you intend on hosting games in the future. Figure out what router you have and how to configure it.

Ok so the problem was a hamachi driver issue. You can use the diagnostic tool in hamachi to find the problem.

To fix it: You have to uninstall hamachi fully, restart your pc, then reinstall it on a default folder the installer selected, then run the diagnostic tool again if the driver is still broken try reinstalling by doing the same steps again. If fixed try to host a server then tell your friend to look at lan servers in arma 3 server browser. If it doesnt show up tell your friend to copy your ipv4 address from hamachi by right clicking your name and copy it to direct connect and join but dont forget to give him the password if one is enabled (and the ports too but you should keep it at default)

Don't use Hamachi, use Radmin. Easier to use.

With Hamachi you have destroyed your connection speed...

Remove it, open CMD as admin and use these commands

netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

netsh interface tcp set global rss=enabled



these commands will restore connection speed and Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level and Receive-Side Scaling State (enabled by default and disabled by Hamachi...)

Windows 10 includes also a feature to restore network and i recommend to use it

also i recommend to reset winsock

so, open CMD as adminand use these commands

netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset

ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns



Next version of Hamachi will change this, but until then use Radmin (i will never use Hamachi again...)

Why use hamachi? Just open your ports... Why is everyone so terrified of even trying such a simple task?

cuz its not simple at all and doesn't work half the time, having to contact your internet service provider just to play 1 janky game with friends is ridiculous
