Then if u are hosting u start the game and go to multiplayer and then TCP/IP but
+
-
 
+
-
as Host u leave it blank and choose to create a Game.
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
Your opponent will then Start the game and go to Multiplayer and also select
+
-
 
+
-
TCP/IP but will enter in the Hosts Hamachi IP and then try and join the hosted
+
-
 
+
-
game.
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
However, if u receive the usual error of can not connect to your opponent, follow
+
-
 
+
-
these steps but please test each time you complete a step and also swap
+
-
 
+
-
turns in being the host to test.
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
1) Disable Firewall (it’s safe and we all do it)
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
2) Open Hamachi ports by clicking on the bottom right hand button of Hamachi
+
-
 
+
-
->Preferences->Detailed configuration->
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
And Tick both UDP and TCP and enter 12975 for both.
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
3)  If you are feeling adventurous please open your Router ports 2300-2400 TCP
+
-
 
+
-
and UDP and 47624 TCP (most of us don’t ever have to go this deep)
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
4)  Provide your Opponent your Public Router IP
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
To find your Public Router IP in windows, Press Start->Run and type in CMD and
+
-
 
+
-
then type
+
-
 
+
-
tracert www.google.com   
+
-
 
+
-
and look at the second IP address for your Public
+
-
 
+
-
Router IP address which can then be used for the Opponent to join
+
-
 
+
-
your Hosted Dark Omen match instead of using the Hosts Hamachi IP.
+
-
 
+
-
+
-
 
+
-
5) Force Bind IP in Hamachi – Please read this website and download the file on Step 11 of the website

+
-
 
+
-
Basically we want to create a new Shortcut on the Desktop for Dark Omen but with
+
-
 
+
-
an amended line that will Force Bind your Hamachi IP.
+
-
 
+
-
Right Click on Desktop and choose to create a new Shortcut-> Browse to your Dark
+
-
 
+
-
Omen folder and locate the EngRel.exe, for example
+
-
 
+
-
C:\Program Files\Dark Omen\PRG\EngRel.exe
+
-
 
+
-
But DO NOT press next to complete the new shortcut, instead we need to add some
+
-
 
+
-
text at the beginning of the text,
+
-
 
+
-
Forcebindip 5.x.x.x
+
-
 
+
-
So it reads
+
-
 
+
-
Forcebindip 5.117.12.100 “C:\Program Files\DarkOmen\PRG\EngRel.exe”
+
-
 
+
-
And make sure there is a space between 100 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. 
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
 
+
-
Again please take turns Hosting games to test.
+
-
 
+
-
           
+
-
Get both players to forcebindip and then even test where just one player uses
+
-
 
+
-
Force and the other uses normal. Success depends on trying all
+
-
 
+
-
possible combinations.
+
-
 
+
-
