Warcraft 3 on Hamachi VPN

[Loopy24]

Hello.
With a friend we would like to play W3 via Hamachi
We are on windows 7.

The very first time, I ran Hamachi, + lancraft.exe, created a game and it worked but with a lot of ping.
Second time we created with his PC but no way to play.
I could see the game but had the message: "Unable to connect to the server. Try again or choose another game" when I clicked "join game".
From this time on it totally stoped working, no matter who creates the game. Always the same message.

Nothing helps:
-Port in game options set to 6112.
-Shutting down anti viruses and firewalls.
-Making Hamachi the first in the priority list.
-Disable other networks.
-Rebooting PC's.
-Running lancraft in compatibility mode for XP.
-Bypass my routeur.
-Internet via wifi or rj45 cable.
-Other internet connections (smartphones).
-Manual metric of hamachi network set to many different values.
-Tried to change some Hamachi settings.
-Manual IP adresses.
-Test with warcraft and frozen.
-Tried on the laptops.
-etc etc...

With diablo 2 it works fine.
But with W3 it "worked" only one time.

Quite anoying :-(

Anybody has an idea??
Thanks.

I have some limited experience with hamachi. And most of the time it sucked.

I strongly suggest gameranger instead.
Requires account creation which is annoying, but a way lower failure rate.
Never had a problem with it

Anything I could suggest is inside this list already.

Try changing Hamachi then.

Hi.

First, thanks for your answers.

The things I did was setting metric of hamachi network to 1 on both computers and downloaded lancraft from another website.
Now it works. Both machines are able to host but with about 2 secs of ping.

So I guess the problem was because of the lancraft version I downloaded the first time.

For the ping, I suppose that it is due that one of the internet connections is per satellite.
We will try with 2 DSL connections.

I will try gameranger as well soon. Thanks for the tip

I personally prefer ENT. It hosts the games for you and you just have to join. Haven't tried it for a couple months though, so if they somehow broke it meanwhile I wouldn't know.

Hamachi is trash. Been there done that. If you want to make your life easier, just use Game Ranger.

I don't like Hamachi VPN it's malfunctioning all the time. There's a ton of good services out there vpn reviews 2018

You can try going with with VPN and be okay with that. like Best vpn rating to be okay.

It's not about VPN as in making a different connection, it's about making LAN games in WC3 @ustek
