Since im new...

Post by ArchAngel »

Can we play beta 2.1 over the internet, my gaming clan have been looking for another game to play, normally we'd expand to a newer game but i suggested this one since its fun, and quite complex..

I've got many of them to download it, i just wanna play with them, btw we have no access to lan however, could we use hamachi to create an internet based lan?

If you click on multiplayer, then join, then lobby, *IF* you see games (A *big* IF) then you can join those by clicking on them.  If after clicking on them, game locks up on you, you most likely have a firewall/router issue.

For the IP one, you need to know the IP of the Host player.  Otherwise, you can't join them.

If *you* host, then your game will appear on the lobby list (assuming your fw/router is set up correctly), and then you wait..and wait..and wait for someone to join.
and it ends here.

;D good day Thread starter

You CAN play over Hamachi.

For HOSTING.
1. Disable firewall
2. Launch Hamachi and create network
3. Host WZ
=====
For JOINING.
1. Disable firewall
2. Join via IP connection
3. ENTER hamachi IP into the "Enter IP" section
=====

GG & HF if you lucky to host/join the game  ;D (I've played like this more then 3 hours with no lag/crash)

You should *not* under any circumstances disable your firewall.

For hosting:
Set your firewall to allow incoming connections on port 9999.

For playing:
You should not have to do anything. Most firewalls allow all outgoing connections.
