Sooo, first post in I think over a year. A friend of mine got me back into
PR after 1.3 came out and so far so good. We don't trust ourselves to play in the main servers just yet and we wanted to get a hang of the game in
co-op mode.
However I am having some problems trying to establish a "LAN" connection through Hamachi.
Now, we both have the latest version of Hamachi and each one have set up their own server just to try to see who was better at hosting a game. We're both connected to the same server. Either his or mine depending on who hosts the game.
When he is hosting his
co-op game, I use his IP adress to connect directly and it initially works. I get whatever map he is playing loading but right after the game finishes loading the map, it crashes to desktop with the typical "Unloading resources" window we get after exiting
PR:BF2.
When it's me hosting the match, he uses my IP adress to connect directly to it but no dice, he doesn't seem to be able to connect at all. No map found or loading.
This also happens on non
co-op maps that he or I set up through the Deployment tab > Local > Create local.
I tried turning off the firewall in case that was preventing a connection to be established but that did not help.
I've read somewhere else in the forums that using offline accounts and try find the server trough the ingame LAN server list would do the trick but no server was found at all.
My friend and I have for now moved on to playing the internet
co-op servers and that has worked just fine. We know it's not the maps since we have tried different ones and none have worked yet they work just fine in the internet servers.
I'm really out of ideas about setting a
co-op game using Hamachi, is there something I may have overlooked? Could it be an issue of computer performance? Just in case I'll add my PC specs.

In the meanwhile we will just play in the internet servers. That has so far been great fun. But the goal of setting a Hamachi supported LAN game is still up because we want to goof around in some maps that don't get played much in the online servers.
I will greatly appreciate any tips or ideas on how I can fix this problem. :)
Thank you for your attention.
please help ASAP
