Heya, first and foremost, I'd just like to say that I'm new in these parts. Hello, fellow players .

Okay, onto the problem...

So I download this game (I had MacrossVOXP beforehand), and then, I get Hamachi. Everything seemed to work fine. I saw Chicha online, and wanted a match... but then, after hosting a game, he couldn't see it. And then when i tried to join his game (typed in his IP and everything in the LOCAL/IP section), I couldn't see his game either. The firewall's unblocked for this and everything too.

I'm running out of options here... I just can't seem to pinpoint the problem. Any suggestions from the respected community would be deeply appreciated ^^.

EDIT: Okay, now, Chicha can see my game. Unfortunately, that's it... he can't join ^^.

[Edited]

In the end I was able to see his game, but couldn't join. When I hosted it, he couldn't even see it. I gave him my Hamachi installer and then it worked... but just once, after that match, the same problems appeared. I really can't figure out what it is. Hope someone knows.

Cheers

Iscil, try again. I just figured out that I'm having problems with my bandwidth since last night, so maybe it was me the one with the problem.

hi guys

this mostly happens when the connection between the players is weak

Hamachi will only allow players to link up with a good connection to prevent Lag during gameplay.

one way to bypass this problem is to connect using your direct Ip.

do not use hamachi use a different type of messenger program to chat to each other.(ie Yahoo messenger.)
the person hosting the game needs to tell the other player/players his Real Ip address so players will connect directly.

hope this helps

Oh, okay. Do we need to configure anything before we try a different messenger?

Edit: We tried ym and I gave Chicha my real IP address. Now he can't see it for some reason... though when we tried it in Hamachi, he could see it, but once again he can't join. I don't understand this at all.

Hmm... Unfortunately those are the only 2 ways to play this game online

1) Hamachi ip connection
2) Direct PC to PC ip connection

sorry
