HAMACHI!!?! How do we get it working?

[Kopenich]

A friend and I (like everyone else) have been waiting to play this together, blah blah blah, we have hamachi and we are aware of how to connect to each other, we've done it with several other games. How do we get hamachi to work with dead island riptide? Please and thank you, your welcome, goodnight.

YES. Please. Someone save us. I am a hamachi noob.

Are you trying to connect to a friend who has hamachi also?

[A_K1TTEN]

Both ends. How to set it up and how to connect to it. Myself and a buddy are trying to do it right now.

[Kopenich]

Both my friend and myself are connected, we both have LAN connection set, how do we connect to eachother once all those connditions are met?

Go to options Online and set it to cooperative & LAN mode. One person make the game and the other joins. Both players set LAN mode.

Got it.

Both people download Hamachi.
Follow all the steps, set up client name (Whatever you want it to be)
The person that hosts goes to "Network" -> "Create New"
Set up the name and password if you want the network private (these are what they will need to know to connect)
Now click the power button (It will start with "probing" and you will know when its done)


To connect: (this is ONLY for the people who are NOT running the server [only one person needs to create a server])

Get the server name and password (if they set one) from the server host.
Make sure power button (in hamatchi) is on
Go to "Network" -> "Join an existing network"
Input all the info and click "join"
You should connect is the info is correct

RESTART STEAM AND CLOSE OUT OF YOUR GAME NOW. If you weren't already.

Open game, go in to game, to go options set "game visibility" to LAN, search in "best matching" (Should be default).

This is what we did and it worked. I hope it works for everyone else!
