Perfect for Terraria, SWAT 4 and Warcraft
With age, some games lose their support for multiplayer gaming. Remember Gamespy? Well, that’s long gone. Or MSN Gaming Zone? Now that’s over ten years old and is as far gone as the Greek economy. These defunct gaming lobbies are pretty much the problem when you have a few friends who have an interest in multiplayer, but because of these dead services, cannot play the game online. Or perhaps you have gotten the game off The Pirate Bay and therefore cannot access a more modern game’s lobby because of cd-key issues. Well, as long as the game supports LAN connections, you’re still in luck.
Another area in which LogMeIn Hamachi works great is when you want to host a game and you’re behind a router. This causes a lot of issues when you want to hand your friend your computer’s IP because inevitably some port forwarding oversight will lead you to hours of frustration and eventually giving up. With Hamachi, all you have to do is to give a virtual IP made by Hamachi, and your friend can connect directly to your computer. So you won’t even need to port forward. Of course, other issues can arise such as ZoneAlarm saying it’s a bad idea, or Avast make a fuss, so don’t forget to check those first.
