Posts from Problem with establishing a connection.

Hello, dear forum members. I would like to ask for your help. I decided to relive my childhood and play Heroes 2 with a friend over the internet. I read the thread about the game's problem. We installed Hamachi, set compatibility with Windows 95, and disabled the sound in the game. Then, one of us creates a game via TCP/IP, and the other connects. The connection is established, but nothing happens after that; it doesn't even get to the map selection stage. It just waits for some time, and then it stops. Can you suggest anything? Is there a way to solve this problem? I read that some people had problems, but they were already in the game... and in our case, the game can't even start properly. Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon. 1. Is there ping in Hamachi? What color is the icon next to the opponent's nickname? 2. In TCP/IP, do you enter the number from Hamachi?

The color is green. The ping is good. Heroes 3 plays great. But there are problems with the second game. Yes, we enter the Hamachi IP address. The connection is established, but then it doesn't load... it's a problem...

If the third game works perfectly, but the second one doesn't load, you can try comparing the versions on both computers. Although, in my experience, Platinum worked fine with both domestic and foreign versions...
I'm currently behind a router, so I can't help directly, but there's an old trick: connect through a third person. If there's someone with whom BOTH players have a stable connection, they can host, and the other two join, then they leave.
