ParticipantJust come across some pretty nifty software called LogMeIn Hamachi. It creates a fake network card and allows you and friends to play over a LAN… but through the internet -_- Why is this handy you may ask? Because you may not have a proper Online CD key which a LAN typically wouldn’t give a shit about 🙄
I’m more interested in it for sharing files with my m8 downb the road, but anyhow… https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/

ParticipantIl have to check it out, i use to have to do LAN via Dawn of war due to lack of serial keys 😛 but sounds like an easier method! nice one.

ParticipantThe only catch is when you go tothe LAn settings In-game you have to set it from your real LAN IP to your fake LAN IP – after that you can play online with friends/enemies NP.

Damn COH! theres a drop hack going around aswell, bout to win a ranked game and the other player drops and freezes the whole game up, quite common apprently.

ParticipantI used this a while ago with Alzir and a few others but can’t remember what for (think it was R6), but it looks like the only way I can possibly play COH online, wouldn’t mind giving it a try with someone at some point, dying for an online game at the mo! Someone please do this with me! Please!

ParticipantYup – give us a time tonight and we can probably get a 2vs2 set up… alzir was interested in playing on this network too.

Participantawesome give me a time and I will get it all ready (patched it last night) Not sure how it will perform, the game runs fine on my computer but the random pings are a bit of a worry!

ParticipantYou may want to untick QOS Packet scheduler and change your File and Printer sharing properties to Maximise data throughput for network applications, not really going to make a drastic improvement but every little helps ;o

Lol legit.. I have specifically disabled file and printer sharing on the hamachi network just in case you get onto it with me you little skank 😈

ParticipantDidn’t mean for the hamachi, meant your physical network connection – disable it on hamach by all means, I dd too 😛
