Hi,

This pertains to anyone using Hamachi to play over VPN. When playing co-op over LAN, my friend sees the game I host in the LAN browser but upon connecting receives the error message "Connection to the host was lost". My friend also tried hosting but got the same results. Anyone also getting this error and know a workaround? Thanks.

Hello
Can you tell me what did you do to play via VPN.
I couldn't play GOW with my friends over Hamachi or leak, other games worked well....

:(

hamachi does work, gow detects your regular connection rather than your hamachi connection. The host should disconnect his connection, with hamachi on, then host the game FIRST. And afterwards enable his connection again. The joining player has to do this too.
