Sorry mate never used it.

I think Joose and Grimmie have used Hamachi quite a bit

I get that. used to think it was my router, but after it not working at the LAN either, I suspect it's some kind of computer setting. As to what, I've no idea.

I couldn't get Hamachi to work at first, tried fiddling with my router and firewall. Then, I realised you had to click 'connect'.

Edit: I'm not saying that's your problem, just chronicling my idiocy.

Many problems have been had with zero whores. From what I can tell, its kinda pot-luck as to whether you will be ok, floorware or otherwise.

Could of things to check/try:

1)make sure, if your using hamandcheese, that the game has selected the riht IP address. Theres a setting down the bottom of the page, in 'options' i think. Just make sure you have the hamachi address, and not your internet/normal LAN address.

2)kinda obvious, but make sure your using the same version of the game. Aparently, this can apply to no-cd thingys as well, try and all use the same one.

3)if one player is hosting, and the other can see the game but cant connect, its can sometimes be fixed by swapping whos hosting the game.

If all that's tried and itstill doesnt work, I cant help you. Blame the crappy netcode in the game.

on a somewhat related sidenote, I tried making an online multiplayer account ans it told me I used an incorrect password. To create an account. There's only one password box. WTF.

You cant use a password which has any relation to your email address.

I used some very random one like albinomaster999 or something.
