How To Play With Hamachi?

[Francisè von Spitroast]

I got it working before and now I can't figure it out. We both have the same version of the game and are connected on Hamachi. Tried IP connects and join a server neither do anything. I never did port forwarding or anything crazy before.
And I don't want coop or die.

Hamachi is a different tech, so dunno, but cannot you connect through the game over the net?

How would I go about doing that?

There is an IP connection in the multiplayer section. I am uncertain though if you are using any sourceport, but if it is Yamagi or whether you are playing the vanilla state game, it is the same. Get the IP of the host, add it to the address list and you should be able to connect.

Thanks mate I’ll give it a shot

In most classic games though it takes hosting a dedicated server for the people to be able to join, so it may be a bit more complicated than simply running just like that. Dunno the specs for hosting a dedicated server.

All good I’ll see if I can get it woking with Hamachi again then.

Try though first with that direct IP connection.

Alright will do. Thanks again.

You'll need to forward port 27910 if you want to host a server (listen or dedicated). It can be quite complicated which is why people use stuff like Hamachi.

Great thing, works.

EDIT:

Using my Yamagi 7.2 sourceport Quake2, I went to join the multiplayer, introduced the following address to the addressbook:

77.66.46.219:27910

It worked, got the game going. Amazing stuff.

O'yea, would forget to mention, head to the Player setup, enter download options and enable all.
