Dw and Hamachi

[AlexSN]

It is possible to play DW with Hamachi? We have done tests but we have not achieved that it works. The host mounts the game but other players do not manage to see her. Does anybody know anything?

The problem could be IP binding. Hamachi turns up as a second network adapter. The game may bind to the first adapter. Even if you tweak your default gateway, it may not work. I know on some games, you could actually disable the REAL adapter and trick the game into using the VPN.

There is no problem at all, you just have to edit 2 files so as to tell DW which network adapter you want to use.
This procedure is all in the faq in SCS official support forum.

Did yuou follow the instructions exactly ? :hmm:

SCS-DW attempts to determine which network adapter your computer is using when connecting in Multiplayer games. Sometimes this default selection is incorrect and can prevent connections to/from other players in Multiplayer games. In order to determine if this default selection is causing problems, first start SCS-DW and "Host" a game. At the Gameroom screen, the adapter that was chosen by SCS-DW will be displayed in the chat window. It is suggested that you write this down. It may look similar to the following:
Local Area Connection - IPv4 - 192.1.168.69
Then using Windows Explorer, browse to the directory where SCS-DW was installed (DEFAULT: C:\Program Files\Sonalysts Combat Simulations\Dangerous Waters) and open the file "adapters.txt".
The following is an example "adapters.txt" file

This file contains all adapters found on this system:
Local Area Connection - IPv4 - 62.1.168.69
The adapter that SCS-DW will pick is the "Local Area Connection" adapter, but in some case there can be two adapters on a given system:
This file contains all adapters found on this system:

Broadcom Ethernet Adapter - 68.132.123.45
Local Area Connection - IPv4 - 192.1.168.69
In order to force SCS-DW to pick the "Broadcom Ethernet Adapter" you need to edit the file "dangerouswaters.ini" as follows:
Scroll down inside the "dangerouswaters.ini" file to find the keyword : .AdapterName "IPv4".
In the example "adapters.txt" file above, the .AdapterName keyword would need to be changed to : .AdapterName "Broadcom Ethernet Adapter".
After making the change, save the "dangerouswaters.ini" file. Next time Dangerous Waters is run it will use the adapter that you specified.

It is recommended that the numerical address portion of an adapter be left out of the .AdapterName. This will allow SCS-DW to still connect successfully if your ISP changes the IP address being used. (This is common with cable/DSL Internet connections.)
It might help to open up port 6073 in addition to the ports 2300-2400
