Make sure there is a space between the last 'x' and '"C:\' . Remember to replace the 5.x.x.x with your own Hamachi IP address. Then Press NEXT and to complete the new Shortcut, let it name itself. You should now have a new shortcut called ForceBindIP.exe. Double click it to launch the game in Forcebind mode and use the normal icon to play normally with players u don't get any errors connecting to.
