Title: Hamachi
Post by: Eeems on August 27, 2010, 09:27:50 pm

So I just remembered to install Hamachi, and I was wondering if anybody else had it? because I made a network just for Omnimaga
Network Name: Omnimaga
PM me for the password if you want to join it and maybe play a game with me later.

I tried it once but it doesn't work too well over great distances. I tried played Starcraft with Arglactable 2 years ago and it lagged like crazy. Good thing there's iCCup now for this game x.x

True, but in some cases it's the only way to do it. I'm also using it so I can play with my cousin :P

What game are you playing with it?

For Starcraft 1 you can install some hack to play on a 3rd party server (iCCup) or even Netham45's server. Netham45 server also lets you play Warcraft 2. However that's about it. For other games, I don't know which 3rd party server stuff exist.

Aah ok, but why do you absolutely need Hamachi to play it? Do you have troubles getting connected to iCCup?

As I demonstrated to DJ today, Halo doesn't seem to like me and I will need LAN to play it most likely, as well as with other games, SC and warcraft should work though.

Yeah :(

That said, I got lot of troubles connecting to Halo, tho, with ppl. Usually we end up having to choose a server from the list and hope we find one where each friend can connect.
