Hamachi and some games not working in Vista 64bit or Win7 64bit

 Helo,

 

I am not shure if this applies to only vista/win7 64bit or also to vista/win7 32bit.

 

First thing to say is the game we are trying to get to work is "Alien vs Predator 2: Primal Hunt"

 

Game works with hamachi set to the top of the list (via network-> advanced settings) in Windows XP and Windows 2000 (both 32bit)

 

But when we try to make server (in vista/win7 64bit), game just doesnt use hamachi IP even if hamachi is set to the top of the list. But it works in some other games like Age of Mythology.

 

What is the problem? Any settings i missed? Is this hamachi OR vista/win7 OR 64bit problem?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

We tried other software like tunngle and it works and server does make Tunngle IP. BUT we really like hamachi better so please what is the problem?

 

regards,

McGregor

      [quote]Another problem (usually with the Vista x64 editions) might be the fact that your routing table hasn't been flushed since installing Hamachi.

    You can correct this by opening the command prompt (just type cmd in start > run...), then type route print and if you can't see 255.255.255.255 in the IPv4 Route Table type route -f and reboot. This might fix your problem.
    If you get the error The requested operation requires elevation, ensure that your account has administrative privileges and UAC (in Windows Vista) is turned off.


    Hamachi broadcast issue

    Hamachi v.1.0.2.0 and newer has a broadcasting bugg preventing alot of games from working correctly. If you are experiencing this problem(not being able to see/create games) and are using Vista, which means that you cannot install an older version of Hamachi, there is now a neat console program fixing this problem. The program uses WinPcap available from http://www.winpcap.org (needs to be installed!) and forwards broadcast packets from your network interface to the hamachi interface. The program will need to be running with elevated rights to be allowed to capture packets.

    The program can be downloaded from here: http://rapidshare.com/files/222589683/HamachiBroadcastFix.zip
