Title explains almost everything.
Me and some friends wanted to revive the good old giants but we cant meet and play over direct lan so we decided to use hamachi. When I now try to connect to their lobby, giants freezes, goes to wintery screen and tells me something like "Failed to open session" (dont know exactly cause I have the german version of giants ) I crawled through several posts here and found some ideas:
1st: Maybe it's because hamachi is my second lan connection so (my btw unpatched) giants tries to connect via the first connection, which is my normal internet
2nd (maybe relies to 1): I've not forwarded any ports yet. Do I have to, even if I just want to join?
3rd (and final idea): Does an update help out here?
Well, I think thats all so far. The sollution is probably very easy but I wanted to make clear what to do, before I make any mistakes
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english, I tried my very best
So long, Griddo
