Joining Hamachi roomslooking for multiplayer games? join up to the Hamachi FoK networks!
https://secure.logmein.com/products/ham ... sp?lang=enHamachi is a VPN client that allows you to connect to other FoKkers over the internet as if you were connected via LAN, considerable streamlining the process
the client is completely free and there is no sign-up required
once you've hamachi installed and setup, click the join network button on the bottom right and join any of these:
40K Firestorm #140K Firestorm #2
40K Firestorm #3
40K Firestorm #4
40K Firestorm #5
40K Firestorm #6
Due to the limited space please leave Hamachi room when done playing or you while be evicted to make room for people that do want to play.
password for all of these rooms is 'FoK Yea' (without the quotation marks)
Aternate rooms
room: [i]40K firestorm #666password is: password
it should be noted that all the login details are
case sensitive, so you should copy and paste from here to make sure it's completely right
once signed up to the networks, you can co-ordinate games through hamachi's chat function, and games created should appear in your LAN games list. it may take a moment to appear due to lag etc...
for best results i would suggest using DoW's direct connect function, which allows you to join straight into a room. the IP address is the number next to the persons username in hamachi
if you have any queries or issues feel free to PM me, Lobo or Gorb.
happy gaming!
*italics means the room is full at the moment. a post will be made here when the rooms are cleaned out again
Using Hamachi in Multiplayer (thanks Raynor! slightly tweaked):
To connect to someone with Hamachi, you take the Hamachi-assigned IP address next to their name and bring up FoK.
Go to Multiplayer, and click Direct Join. Type in that Hamachi IP into the IP Address slot that come up and click Accept. If they've hosted the game, you will automatically join it. If not, wait for them to finish setting it up. If you still have problems, restarting the game also fixes some problems.
On another note, to host a game through Hamachi, simply go into Multiplayer and host a LAN game. All they have to do is use your Hamachi IP to join your game.
Remember though that you both have to have Hamachi running at the time for it to connect.
