Now before i start, Both me and my friend bought FA when it came out. We were huge fans of Total Anhilation.

To the problem,
We connect to a network in Hamachi, ping and we are connected. We launch our supcoms, go to play(Versions are exactly the same, mods disabled, Lobby mod installed, same version) and it doesnt come up in the list of games. Thank you for any assistance

I realised how badly i typed that up, We go to the LAN menu but neither of our games appear to the other and we cannot connect directly via IP and Port

Do other games work in your Hamachi Network?

Why do you play over Hamachi anyway, and not GPGnet(, Steam) or FAF?

I use Hamachi all the time for FA so I can say it certainly works. However, when using Multiplayer LAN, you must specify the Hamachi IP address and you must use a specific port - for some reason, the auto port won't do.

Hamachi is mostly used for pirated games, so this post looks dubious. Its in no way superior than steam, due to lag issues. Especially FA seems to combine badly with hamachi, at least for me.

Hes got a Point. Usually Pirated Games use Hamachi.... Very suspicious...

FAF is free, and easy to work with, so theres not really any excuse is there?

Yeah, there is absolutely no point in using Hamachi, even if you pirated the game.

I didnt even know Forged Alliance was on steam, Me and my friend forked up some more money and got copies. I never knew Hamachi was associated with pirates. Definetly uninstalling that :shock: And seriously, We never knew it was on steam.

Thats a bit of a claim in regards to Hamachi, My copy of FA is bought and paid for. Hamachi is easy for LAN games with next to no issues.
