We can't play HotA (Horn of the Abyss) over TCP/IP using Hamachi. Both the laptop and the computer are running Win7, and the game version is 1.3.8, which is the same on both devices. On the laptop, a game is created, and I try to join from the computer, but I get the following error: "Unfortunately, an error occurred while establishing a connection to the session. Please try again." Hamachi was configured according to these instructions: http://hamachiinfo.ru/nastrojka.html and http://hamachiinfo.ru/nastrojka/windows-7.html. The IP addresses in the game match the IP addresses in Hamachi. Both computers have a stable internet connection. The firewall and antivirus are disabled. In Hamachi, we can see each other with a green dot.
Yesterday, we were able to play, but today something went wrong. On the laptop, a room was created in the game, and I could join from the computer immediately. Today, we checked all the settings, launched the game, created a room, and this error appeared... If a room is created on the computer, the laptop, unlike the computer, does not see it! I tried downloading the DPWSOCKX.DLL file from here

and placing it in the game folder and also in the System32 folder on both devices.

Please provide instructions on how to fix this problem.
Thank you in advance.
