Everyone needs this. Please describe the solution in this thread.

To clarify the solution, I'll immediately say that it doesn't apply to situations where players can't connect to each other's games. Such issues are usually resolved by having three players create a server, both players connect to it, and then one of them exits the game options. However, this is inconvenient during restarts.

This solution is for the situation we had with WBN. Both players have a fast internet connection. But in Hamachi, we are indicated to each other with blue arrows. We enter the game without any problems, but as soon as we start loading it, the ping in Hamachi immediately disappears, the loading percentage stops, and errors appear. Repeatedly clicking "continue" to resume data transfer and loading the game does not help, and one of the players is kicked out, even if it happens at 98%!!!

Here's the remedy:

1. Launch Hamachi. Check the ping (check availability). If there is no ping, restart Hamachi until it appears.
2. Launch the game. Enter, select all options and castles.
3. We have three windows open: the game, Hamachi, and the ping window. Click "start game." The loading process begins.
4. As soon as the loading percentage stops, the ping disappears, and after some time, an error will appear (click "continue"). As soon as the ping disappears, we immediately restart Hamachi (since there is no data transfer during the loading process anyway).
5. The ping appears. But the loading percentage will no longer be displayed, although the game is actually loading. When the ping disappears again, repeat the steps described in point 4.
6. Result: 100%. The player who connected to the server restarts Hamachi (although I think this is not essential - it just shows the loading percentage).

If this helps anyone, let me know that I didn't waste my time writing this.
