Background -
Tutorial: Internet Gaming with Age of Empires 3 and Hamachi
Age of Mythology typically defaults to the internal IP address rather than the Hamachi address during network play. This behaviour can prevent players from hosting multi-player games over Hamachi networks. Luckily there is a workaround …
Open Hamachi and record the IP address
Right click on the windows Start button. Click on the Explore menu item. Windows Explorer should open.
Navigate to directory where Age of Mythology was installed. By default, the game installs to the following directory:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesAge of Mythology
Right click on the AOM.exe file. Click on the Copy menu item
Minimize all windows. On the desktop, right click and click on the Paste Shortcut menu item. A shortcut named “Age of Mythology” should appear on the desktop.
Right click on the “Age of Mythology” shortcut. Click on the Properties menu item.
Click on the text box beside the “Target” label. Modify the text box contents by adding the following switch:
OverrideAddress=x.x.x.x
Where x.x.x.x represents your Hamachi IP address.
For example, if you installed Age of Mythology in the default directory and your hamachi IP address is 5.5.10.10 then the text beside the Target label should read as follows:
“C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesAge of Mythologyaom.exe” OverrideAddress=5.5.10.10
Click on the OK button.
Double click on the desktop icon to load Age of Mythology
Click on the Multiplayer button. Click on the Lan / Direct IP button.
Select a user name and click on the OK button
Click on the Host button.
Verify that the IP beside the “Alternate IP” label matches your Hamachi address (note:The IP never matches on this machine, but multiplayer gaming still works when I provide my real IP to other people. The same may be true of you).
You are now ready to host an AOM game using a hamachi address.
Regarding the note above, please share your experiences with this solution so the detail can be conformed re: the last slide.
For the ips, they do not match and me and my friend can not connect with one another. Its really annoying.
Hi Joey. You can try something else – after the OverrideAddress switch add one more:
+directIPConnectivity
I’ll try this on another build of the game and possibly update the tutorial
I tried that also but it didn’t work. We see each other’s games but the time runs out before we can connect.
You see each other’s games? Are either of your running Zone Alarm? Also are you behind a router?
hey Blink7, First of all, great job with all the work u’ve done.
I’ve followed your guide, and the hamachiwiki guide too, but i still can’t play aom.
the Alternate Ip address it comes up with is my external ip address rather than the hamachi one, despite the override command in the shortcut. no idea how to do this ;(
hey how much safer is the lan direct ip compared to the online multiplayer connection… whats the major difference?
thanks
Re: #20090, ESO is far and away the best way to conduct a multiplayer game. AOM is not very network friendly and in fact the official documentation says that directIP cannot be used over a network. Hamachi is a grey area because it is technically a network and the games DOES support intra-network play. The website is also dim about Hamachi as a second network:
AOM will be unhappy if you have multiple network interfaces active in your machine (as in more than one network card – if you don’t know what we’re talking about then don’t worry, it probably doesn’t apply to you.) If you have multiple network cards and you are experiencing trouble, please disable the network interfaces that you’re not using to play the game, and then restart the game and try again.
Obviously we can’t do that because the “network” (and hence the internet) is allowing us to reach hamachi in the first place. Hence we have to hack around with these switches.
The second issue – different routers hide machines differently. The methods described above will work with some routers and not others. Can everyone post what routers they are using?
Well instead of using Override you’ll have to use hostPort=xxx.xxx.x.xxx (x = hamachi address) and AddressServer=”repeater.aom.eso.com” (after hostPort [it should look like that as well]).
Example:
“C:\Program Files\Age of Mythology\aomx.exe” hostPort=5.70.41.114 AddressServer=”repeater.aom.eso.com”
P.S. You will need Hamachi for this (thanks blank 7). If you want to play with a friend, make sure that person joins your hamachi server.
Note: It only works for 1 connection; so you can’t connect other computers, but other people can join your address. I can’t seem to get my other computers to connect to the same port. If someone finds out please e-mail me. Thanks.
I found that if you use OverrideAddress=”x.x.x.x” with the “”, the real hamachi ip matches with the “Alternate IPâ€. Tell me if that work for you.
Bye and thanks.

Bye and thanks.
I’m having problems connecting to my friend while he is hosting it, we both followed your guide and when i try to connect to one of his games it just times out at attempting to connect.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
Hi, Try this too as it worked for me
I too followed the guide but didnt work. I added the “overrideaddress=x.x.x.x” part but it didnt change the IP which AOM picked up @ runtime. It still remained my local IP 192.168.1.2
. If this too is your situation try this method.
Log into hamachi. then go to network connections & DISABLE your local area network connection (right click on local area connection & disable) Do disable every other network connection besides the HAMACHI connection.
Dont do anything to hamachi connection (dont quit or log out or anything… )
Now run Age of mythology and go to multiplay. then click on “host” and see if now your hamachi IP appears on top. ( it sure will appear now
)
Now minimize the game & Re enable your “local area network connection”. Wait till hamachi reconnects & switch back and play your game
You just have to do this once. After that only the hamachi IP will appear in AOM
Hope this helps…
oh & one thing, if you want to change back to your local area network IP in AOM, disable every network connection besides your local area connection and run the game
Cheers,
AlienX
Me and him both have the hamachi IP’s working fine and all, it’s just our routers I think that are blocking us from connecting. We tried to direct IP but that failed as well.
Right, we even port forwarded his router and connected myself directly to the modem, bypassing my router. Still, no luck.
Thanks AlienX. It wroked perfect…havent actually tried playing game yet with my friend lol. will post when I have
AlienX’s solution works great. Just make sure you forward all of AoM’s ports between machines if you’re using a router. After that have one person host, and all people joining that game have to directly input the host IP which is copied from hamachi.
hi, sorry to bother everyone..
but this is not working for us – we goto the same stage as Chris and then… the games timeout – we can not connect to each other, alltho we can start getting in a game, could anyone help please?
hi,
ok now there are 2 timeout countdowns occur when you join a LAN game in AOM. a 15 second timeout & 120 seconds timeout after that.
If you timeout in the first (15 seconds) then there is a problem with you internet connection/Lan connection or a problem with the ports or firewall.
If its in the second countdown (120 seconds timeout) then most probably its because of the wrong IP problem. For this try what I suggested earlier in this page.
Ifs its in the first scenario you can try certain things until you get it right.
First of all please turn off your windows firewall and any other firewall software you are using.
Now if you connect through a router enable “uPnP port forwarding” and restart the router (almost every router has this option so you dont have to worry..) ). Do not try to manually port forward for now (uPnP will do that for you), this exercise is to check whether it works with no security involved.
Now run the game and see if you can play a LAN game.
So if it works now you know that it must’ve be a problem with your firewall or router. Now don’t do anything to your router and make changes to your firewall until it works. Now finally when you are done with the firewall you can go back to configure your router (manually port forward & stuff…).
Hope this helps, plz post back your results
Cheers,
AlienX
hey, thanks a lot man – nice info, its the second one, the 120 – me and my mate can get into each others games (sort of) but it does the long countdown, so were trying your advice now and we’ll post back, thank u
hi – me again, we have sorted it, we took your advice alien and it worked great, we now are playing – thank u
im having problems with aom… i did everything that was said here, i have the alternate ip when i host (and so does my cousin) but we never actually join each others’ games. we always get to the 120 second countdown but never actually join. he lives in south america while i live in europe… would that be a problem? i have wireless while he has DSL connection. also.. im not very good with computers so AlienX could you explain a bit more clearly the router thingy??
Help would be appreciated
Fern
after you disable the LAC and enable it and stuff, does the person joining your game have to do anything or is it all up to the host. like wud all they need to do is connect to the hamachi server and thats all or do they need to force the ip change in aom also?
hi again,
to Fern =>
it doesnt matter where u and your friends live. as long as you all are in the same hamachi network it’s going to be ok. and the type of internet connection doesnt matter too… u have to make sure all of you are in the same network. and your hamachi ip “5.x.x.x” appears in the AOM.
to xerferic =>
)
well disabling the other cards except hamachi network adaptor is to force the game to pick up hamachi ip at runtime. you have to do this only once. when u do it just go to host game to double check if the hamachi ip appears. if so you dont have to do follow this procedure again & again…
(going to host game is a way to check this quickly. coz the ip appears only in host game menu and join game menu, if you cant join u cant see the ip so the best way to check is host game…
if all of these are ok then just follow the ordinary procedure. (one person hosts & others type his hamachi ip @ the join game… )

sorry for double post above…
some other tips,
if you’re playing in a mixed up situation like, you and your friend in the same local area network & other friends join through hamachi, its better if all of you can join play through the same hamachi network. (rather than some people using direct ip & others hamachi.. ). Ive tried it and playing AOM through hamachi wont result in lagging or anything compared to direct method…
once the connection is established only peer to peer data exchanges take place and no data is going through a central hamachi server…
even if you’re all in the same LAN use hamachi if the direct method doesn’t work..
for advanced users if you’re not happy about upnp port forwarding & want only the specific ports to open up in the router due to high security issues read the read me file in AOM. i guess the tcp & udp ports are mentioned @ there…
Later I’ll post the specific details about the ports used in connection establishment & game play which will be useful in trouble shooting multi play issues, right now im having a load of work

Hi AlienX
AlienX:
Thanks for the compliments. Heck of an oversight though re: contact. I’ll add that to the blog but for now please contact me via admin @ blink7 dot com
(not writing it properly so to avoid spammers)
Definitely any tutorial material you have would be welcome.
Cheers
Hello !
First of all thanks for the tutorial!
I am having trouble though =S
Me and my friend managed to make the alt ip show on multiplayer mode but once one of us hosts a game, the other one cant see it :S
We enabled exceptions on windows firewall for both aomx.exe and hamachi.exe just in case but it’s still nto working!
Hope to hear from you soon!!
Thanks
Funny thing is that “AOM Titans” do work with those workarounds but AOM doesn’t. Me and brother can play Titans but not original AOM. I looks like any of those solutions won’t work if both players are behind routers.
Hi,
Juan Andres : try disabling the firewall(s) first on both ends (u & your friend) and see if its working. Then U can focus on configuring the firewall, If it works without firewall U can enable one side’s firewall keeping the other end disabled & start working on the enabled end until it works. & then do the same thing on other end. Then enable on both ends…
Sometimes game may not appear but U can type the IP address of the other end to join…
filip : “any of those solutions won’t work if both players are behind routers.”
.
I use a router & so are my friends & it works perfectly for me. May be you’re doing something wrong. I didn’t try this with Titan’s though. But you said its working in it so I don’t have to worry about that
I’ll try to create a test hamchi vpn so you might be able to join it & try it again.
Cheers
AlienX
hi, we tried everything, new patch and we still got the 120 secs. We do not have any firewall on, we juz did not do portforward, may i know how to do it?
I have problem. I’ve followed the guide, etc… even tried forcing the game to accept only my Hamachi address. But, whenever I try to host a game later, I don’t get my alternate address. I’ve never hosted a game and it has NEVER shown IP Address: and Alternate IP Address: there has only ever been one address. But like I said, when I follow the force procedure, the one IP address that shows is my Hamachi address, however my friend hasn’t been able to join the game.
I’m using a Belkin G wireless network card, with a G Mimo router. My firewall is off, and I have disconnected ALL my connections besides Hamachi to try and force the Hamachi address.
Any suggestions? If I wasn’t clear let me know.
Hi all. I still have a problem.i added override command in shortcut but me and my friend still cant connect to each other. We both have set the right one hamachi ip’s. We get through first 15 sec., but we stuck in that 120 sec. timeout. I tried with AlienX advice: I closed all network connections except hamachi, started an AOMX but then my ip was 0.0.0.0. I simply don’t know what to do more. I would be glad if someone can help me. Bye!
Janko, I tried the same thing with AoM: the Titans, but the trick with disabling connection works only with original AoM, not with the titans expansion… Try that.
Ivan, i tried that trick only with aom and it worked. But when i tried to run a game withouth this bypass i still got
two ip’s. My real one adn hamachi’s as an alternative. It was said some posts ago, that when you do this trick with disabling cennections it won’t be needed to do it anymore and there will allways be only hamachi ip instead of my real one. And one thing, did my friend who’s connected with my hamachi network need to do this trick to, even though i’m a host?
Janko, no, I don’t think your friend needs to do the trick if you are the host… Have you tried it?
Hi AlienX,
Thank you v.v.v.much.. You are the real man.
I am able to play AOM now on Hamachi.
Thanks everyone
. Very nice to see its helping you all.
Im very sorry Blink7 I couldnt what you’ve asked me that day. I am somewhat busy now adays. But anywho your new website looks very nice. Keep it up
Janko => dude goin into the the Hostgame window is to check what IP is taken by AOM during runtime
. It is ONLY & ONLY to do that. Its to make sure you’re on the correct path. Because playing through Hamachi requires players to be on the same subnetwork (5.x.x.x) So the Host should have Hamachi IP & so are all the joining people should have Hamachi IP @ runtime. I again recall going into the Hostgame menu is to see the runtime ip picked up on each player. Each player check this & come back to Game selection menu if IP is ok & then join the game 
Easy as that. Dont mess it up 
Cheers,
AlienX
to Ivan_srb =>
When you disable all connections except Hamachi run AOM quikly as possible, Because if Hamachi times out you
ll get 0.0.0.0 IP.
Reason => When Hamachi times out & log off it has the IP of 0.0.0.0 Since its the only connection alive AOM picks up that IP (0.0.0.0) ( Connection alive is in the network connections in control panel. Even if Hamachi software times out Hamachi adaptor in Control panel is still active & it has the IP of 0.0.0.0 which is taken by AOM )
If you’re not quick enough do this.
run AOM in windowed mode. when it loads up initially switch to desktop & disable the connections except Hamachi & then quickly switch to AOM & go to Hostgame & see
Cheers,
AlienX
Hi. I’ve got a problem.
We (me and on other) try to play over hamachi, and we have followed your advices, but the closest we have got is that he got a message saying that my version isn’t the right one. But it is! It’s 1.03, just like his. Only thing is that his legal and mine is downloaded… Can that ruin it?
And i swear to God: I have bought the game, but i havent got it yet. (its on its way, by mail…) I couldnt wait a week. Huh
Sorry for my bad English… I’m a norse… Hah.
Also, I have done just like AlienX said, but my IP changes back again after i have exited the game
The IP doesn’t stay permanently 
Thanks AlienX the guide and Blink 7 por posting it on website, but i still cant play online…i think this doesnt works on AOM: Titans.
have someone played Titants with Hamachi?
Cheers.
Hi ppl,
I’ve read all ur posts and some sound familiar. My friend and I both r connected to eso and can even chat with eachother but we cannot connect to out hosted games. Hamachi doesn’t ring a bell (no vpn). The only odd thing is that my friend cannot connect to any game at all. I can connect to games in the gamelist and even play hosted games with strangers. He cannot. His firewall is temporarily down. TnX
hey i tried doing the disconect connect on original aom not titans and it worked , now the problem is i cant seem to change gods nor change anything that requires being clicked on except the stage :S:S any ideas ??
wooooooooo u are awsome!!!!!
tnks a lot
I hope I’m not too late and that forum is still alive…
I got a problem. Me and my friend wanna play. We both got 1.10 patch, and we put that overrrideaddress. When I click host, I get IP: (I guess it’s mine) and Alternative address: hamachi IP. My friend has same, but we don’t see each other’s games. Plz help.
Anyway, great work.
We sorted it out, it works, you just have to make OverrideAdress=”x.x.x.x” and go in game, 1 host, other types hamachi IP in direct IP and join. But my brother can’t join, he gets 120 sec timeout. He got Vista…maybe that’s the problem?
but if you wright the real ip of you with no hamachi on the backround you will be abble to connecte
Actually it doesn’t work…I can only play with 1 friend, others get 120 sec, don’t know why. Hamachi IP is as alternative, but always 120 sec…
it is work if you want this is my messenger i will tell you how to do it with no hamchi by the way i am from israel.if there are some syntax problems forgive me lol.
whats ur msn?
r_karat@netvision.net.il
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aomx.exe” OverrideAddress=”x.x.x.x”
you should wrghit the real IP of your comp in that day were the x.x.x.x between the ” ”
and it will work 100% please commete if it work to you.
when you enter the game after you do it you will see the real ip of you on top.
now you can play like you using a regular modem.
check your real ip hear -> http://whatismyip.com/
I know how old this post is, but does anyone know if both the host and the joiners have to do all this? Or do the joiners just have to log onto the host’s hamachi and then type in the direct IP on AOM? Or do they have to also do the overrideaddress stuff?
I think yes. I’m not 100% sure.
Ok, here goes. I just got Age of Mythology: Titans to play over the internet using hamachi. I am even using a noCD crack on it. First off, create a shortcut on your computer from the aom.exe (or whatever the file is that is starting the game). Then, go to the shortcut properties and paste “OverrideAddress=”5.x.x.x” directIPConnectivity” where the IP is the IP of YOUR hamachi. For example, ["C:\...aom.exe" OverrideAddress="5.123.345.678" directIPConnectivity], that way there is a space after the last part of what is already in the exe properties. Also, for added fun and better resolution, add xres=1680 yres=1050 to the end of the properties (or whatever your native screen res is, so you can have a perfect looking game. For example,
["C:\...aom.exe" OverrideAddress="5.123.345.678" directIPConnectivity xres=1680 yres=1050]
Everyone who will be connecting will need to do that to their shortcut. Now, everyone needs to start up hamachi and open their internet connections. Shut off lour local internet so that only hamachi is enabled. Next, open the game from your shortcut and go into the multiplayer section. Minimize the game (Press Alt Tab) and go into your internet connections and enable your internet again. EVERYONE DOES THAT. Now, host a game and have everyone manually connect with the direct ip option in multiplayer. The ip they will use is the HOSTS hamachi ip. Hope that works for you. Please tell me if I need to clarify anything.
Just to clarify, the overrideaddress in the properties of the exe is the hamachi IP of each individual computer being setup. So for mine I will have my hamachi IP in the override, and in my friends, he will have his own hamachi ip. That ip will be listed as the biggest numbers on top of hamachi and in front of your name in hamachi. Follow the rest of the steps above and you shouldnt have problems. I will write a step by step instruction if my earlier rambling was too confusing. =) Thanks blink and alien, between both of you and a lot of searching on the internet, I was able to piece together everything and make the game work.
That was already explained and people know that, but still for some people it doesn’t work.
Actually, it wasnt clear on what IP was to be used in the properties and what IP is used for direct connect. Also, No one said that directIPConnectivity connectivivty also had to be added. Not to mention that people are still saying their hamachi IP is the alternatives ip, when if it is done properly on the computer, then hamachi should be the ONLY IP listed on top of the host window. Other things that could be done are to enable your DMZ from your router properties (192.168.1.1 as web address to enter, usually), make sure everyone has same version of game, same crack if using one, same hamachi version, and have two green dots on hamchi when connected to someone else on the hamachi network. Is hamachi being used right? Is someone creating a network and having other people connect to it and are able to chat through hamachi? If I have to, I will set up EVERYTHING, every detail, from start to finish and see if that makes a difference. For me though, when reading this website, those are the only things I did differently, and it worked. People need to also explain what OS they are using for the two or more computers, if they are behind routers, what type of internet connection they are using, and other important things that can be problematic. Also, as far as I know, if one person is using a crack, everyone has to, the game doesnt like a CD to nocd Crack multiplayer game.
I get hamachi ip as alternative too, and it works.
My goal was to write what works for me. The hamachi as alternative ip does not work for me. So, I wanted to have people try it my way to see if it works for them. You said it yourself, “That was already explained and people know that, but still for some people it doesn’t work.” I am trying to fix that by giving people a new method that might work for them, not just you. Also, I am collaborating information from sources all over the internet to this spot, which seems to have the most recent hits. I am not going to waste posts and clutter this page so that one person can have what I wrote justified. It was a legitimate post that will hopefully help someone. My next post will only be in response to someone who needs help making the game work.
hi…i have done everything the tutorial says but i still can’t play…
i have no firewalls active and i have open all the aom ports!
on aom i can’t even contact with the other pc but on the titans expansion i get the 120 countdown but nothing else happens!
pls help me if you can ty!
Have you read all the posts, or the most recent ones at that. The tutorial didnt work for me, but the 60 posts did. Mine and AlienX’s in particular
yeah i did and i tried everything ppl said!
actually in the 120 case noone told any clear solution
Hello everyone. I did the instructions (the main ones), and it just doesn’t come up under my normal Ip or anything. I tried some of the suggestions and still no luck. Please help!
Hi mkivtts, thanks for your help, it seems that you are the only one that is helping now here. I did everything posted here, my problem is that I can’t make the game take my Hamachi’s IP only. When I disable all my internet connections and host the game I’m not fast enough and I always get 0.0.0.0…. is there a way to do it as quickly as possible? or am I doing something wrong?
Hello, me and my friend Diego found out how to work out hamachi with aom again.
We used to play normally using the steps
1) Start Hamachi
2) Disable all network connections except Hamachi
3) Start the game
4) Select to host a game. Verify that Hamachi address appears
5) Minimize game to return to windows environment. Re-enable other network connections
6) Return to game
7) join in by typing the hamahci ip
but we encountered a problem, it wouldn’t work….!!
So he did some digging up and found out that hamachis latest version is having some problems (at least for us and AOM), so we both got 1.0.11 and doing the above steps it works perfect ^^ you can get it form filehippo!!
Hope this helps!
Its a little funny process. You actually need to:
1. have all connections and internet enabled
2. start hamachi and connect to the network
3. disable your internet connection
4. start the age of mythology (or whatever) game and go into the multiplayer area to host a game (you can even start a host game)
5. enable your internet connection and give it a few seconds to establish connections
- you should see your hamachi IP as the one and only address on the top left of your host screen.
- Everyone needs to do that process except that that other people will use direct ip connect in multiplayer to connect to you
-check firewall
-and adding “OverrideAddress=”x.xxx.xxx.xxx” directIPConnectivity” (where the x.xxx.xxx.xxx is YOUR hamachi ip) in the properties of the shortcut to the game executable was essential for me.
-did you try out the xres yres trick to get rid of game stretching on wide screens?
-it took me a few hours of tinkering to get ir right.
Good Luck =)
Speed doesnt have anything to do with it. The point of shutting off your internet connection is so that the game doesnt automatically attach to that network cards IP. We are trying to force it to select hamachi by only giving it one option. Richard, you are at least reading the comments and I appreciate that, so if I can help I will. Work on carefully following some older posts I have left and see if you can get the correct ip to show up in the game. It helps to talk with a friend on the phone while you are trying to connect to each other. Maybe I can help, keep me updated.
I am using hamachi version 1.0.2.5 if that helps anyone.
Ok, I did what you said and this is what happened:
1. have all connections and internet enabled ‘OK’
2. start hamachi and connect to the network ‘OK’
3. disable your internet connection ‘OK’
4. start the age of mythology (or whatever) game and go into the multiplayer area to host a game (you can even start a host game) ‘I did and when I host it, it says 0.0.0.0′
5. enable your internet connection and give it a few seconds to establish connections
- you should see your hamachi IP as the one and only address on the top left of your host screen. ‘When I do that it kicks me off the hosted game and the following message appears: “An invalid argument was supplied”
- Everyone needs to do that process except that that other people will use direct ip connect in multiplayer to connect to you
-check firewall ‘Checked’
Am I doing something wrong?
Hmmm. Ok. Lets get some more information.
What version of the game and what game?
What version of Hamachi?
What opperating system and what version? [XP Pro SP2]?
What type of internet connection?
Is the game cracked or off CD?
Are you running from a shortcut?
Did you add the stuff I told you to?

First of all, thank u very much for those who have already posted on this topic.
i read practically every comment in this thing and did everything but i can’t get the AoM:TT to work…
when i try that thing to change the IP address (not the alternate IP) in the game (i mean the disable all the connections but hamachi, enter the game and enabling again thing) i get the IP address as 0.0.0.0 . did any of the methods listed here (even the loader thing) work for anyone for AoM:The Titans???
Technical Info:
i have game version 1.03, hamachi 1.0.1.5 (tried with 1.0.2.5 too – didn’t work),i’m connected wirelessly to a router (i set a DMZ host thingy so that shouldn’t interfere) and i’m using Zone Alarm.
would really REALLY appriciate any kind of help (i really want to get this working) so thanks in advance
oh sry forgot to mention i’m using windows XP SP2 and the router is Siemens SL2-141, the game is with a crack.
I can play only with 1 friend…don’t know why it works for him and for all the others not. All others have hamachi IP as alternate, they can see my game when I host, but when they join they get 120 sec timeout.

FUK I LOVE U RAN_THE_GREAT!! LOL IT FUKN WORKED WOOT LOVE UUU!!
WAIIT NOO IT DOESNT WORK =[ i can see the alternative shit but now =] one step closer bahahah
it will work you have done somthing wrong.dont give up the most beatifull game ever for cmps.
Hello, Ran_the_Great
Thanks for your guide, it worked. My friend can get into a game with me. However, there is one (probably unrelated) staggering issue: AoM disconnects him after about 20 seconds! The exact quote that the popup gives is: “Age of Mythology needs to restart as your IP Address has changed.”
Any ideas, anyone? I am an unfortunate victim of the “same-CD-key” mispublishing by Ubisoft and this prevents me from connecting on ESO with him.
i dont know why acezan and randal have this problems i play the game avrey day with freinds that have routers there is no problem but listen maybe your friend ip was changed by it self couse he play with router (routers ip can sudnley change) so he need to get the new ip and put it in the shortcut.
i have the ESO problem like you .we should punished UBISOFT for cheating.
mkivttts May 27th, 2008 at 12:21 am
Its a little funny process. You actually need to:
1. have all connections and internet enabled
2. start hamachi and connect to the network
3. disable your internet connection
4. start the age of mythology (or whatever) game and go into the multiplayer area to host a game (you can even start a host game)
5. enable your internet connection and give it a few seconds to establish connections
- you should see your hamachi IP as the one and only address on the top left of your host screen.
- Everyone needs to do that process except that that other people will use direct ip connect in multiplayer to connect to you
-check firewall
-and adding “OverrideAddress=”x.xxx.xxx.xxx” directIPConnectivity” (where the x.xxx.xxx.xxx is YOUR hamachi ip) in the properties of the shortcut to the game executable was essential for me.
-did you try out the xres yres trick to get rid of game stretching on wide screens?
-it took me a few hours of tinkering to get ir right.
Good Luck =)
i did all of this but the hamachi ip is not the only adress is again the alternate ip adress.
Me and my friend use hamachi to play aom. We use the process described by ‘Mauro’ ^^ and it works great. We dont have anyone else to play with really.. is there anyone here who would like to join our hamachi network to play some games? I don’t know of anywhere to play aom online…
Well thanks, so far I get it.. But I can’t change the target of my icon at the background.. So is it possible to play without changing the target?
Thanks!!
Thanks alot for this guide it worked great for me and my friends, now we have a new problem though. We followed the tips listed here and got the game working perfectly but then we decided to get the expansion, we got, installed it, and now it refuses to work! We have tried the overideaddress and turning of all network connections and all the other tips given here but it just wont work!!
Our hamachi ips are shown as the alternate ips and we have done all the things suggested and it just wont connect, we get to the second countdown… can anyone help please?
ok now we succesfully made the hamachi ip to be the only ip the game uses when we host but then we ran into a new problem, when i try to connect to my friend it says that we have different versions of the game, but we checked it out and we both have version 1.03.. Although he bought the game and i downloaded it so im wondering if that can have something to do with it..? i thank u for any help
Hey, so I was wondering, how does disabling the Local Area Connection help? When I disable it, it causes hamachi to disconnect because I don’t have an internet connection. is the OverrideAddress supposed to allow it to work?
I have a legitimate copy of AoM: Gold Edition as well as my friends.
First of all Chris, you are a blind little person because that has only been done like 20 times in this discussion.
Second of all I am using cracked 1.03 TT game with Hamachi 1.0.2.5, and have followed all steps, still doesnt work with my friend using exact same install. Strange because network functions perfectly on AoE II and III…
Any other known parameters to the aomx.exe file (eg a IPAdress=”" parameter would be great)
Please help me out…
Hello all, i hope this forum aint forgoten and that some1 can help me,ive done alien suggestion turned all network conn’s off and left only hamachi and when i enter AoM it gives me as IP the Hamachi IP like u said but when my friend type that ip it appears 115 sec countdown u know what i mean … please help any other suggestion except that one(and for AoM TT when i enter for IP appears 0.0.0.0…)
lo me again when my 2.nd friend wants to enter (he got same net as me ) he can enter my game and i can enter hes game but other friend with DSL cant join i think the prob is in IP’s ??Please help
Hello,
Great topic. I’ve been trying to get AoM:TT working over Hamachi for many months on my own. I’ve had luck with the disabling internet adapter and then hosting idea.
Currently, i’m behind a university firewall that just loves to keep me from my beloved AoM.
However, there is a shortage of Hamachi game servers that i’ve found and decent websites that list them. There was a guy earlier by the name of Matt who was looking for a player…still interested?
I can also set up a Hamachi server so the folks who need to try this stuff out can do it there, perhaps we all can play a game.
my email is agenator@msn.com, please let me know if anyone is interested in playing.
It would be cool to have some more players. You could join our hamachi network (I would give you name and password) or we could join yours. Either way. Let me know and I can email that to you.
Matt, that sounds like a great idea. It doesn’t matter what Hamachi network we use.
Feel free to send an email to agenator@msn.com and we’ll get all set up. I am current diagnosing some Hamachi problems of my own right now.
Ok any chance i join ure game just to see if it works and if it works we could play some games
? nenad-ciric@hotmail.com
Hi ppl,
Im back
Hmmmmm seems alot of people are having problems lately with the new hamachi versions… I honestly cant say anything about that as I still use the old hamachi 1.0.2.5 & it works perfect for me xD
Anywho I’ll try to look into the new hamachi version. Can the guys who have problems with new hamachi mention what version of hamachi ur using ?
Anyways, to mention again Ive tried the method ive mentioned with AOE & AOM series & it works ok. To summarize what you have to do is force the game to pick up hamachi IP on runtime. If not then there is some error in your network eg: blocked ports, firewall issues, anti virus issues, etc.
For people who use Kaspersky Anti Virus can encounter problems (very rarely but possible). In these situations add the AOE or AOM exe to trusted zone & u’ll be ok
If you suspect any security software is causing the problems thats why I mentioned to disable them and see if it works so you can narrow down the issue & solve
Cheers,
AlienX
Lo version 1.0.2.5,AV & FW OFF,as i said before friends that have same internet as me (cable) can enter my games and i can enter theyre but friends who got DSL cant join ill try Ran_The_Great’s guide i just need to w8 for my friend and ill tell u if it works.
Shone61, I added you to my MSN messenger/contacts list.
If anyone else is interested in working out Hamachi problems, just send me an email to agenator@msn.com.
So far we haven’t had too many problems getting Hamachi to work. We found what works is to disable the Internet adapter (leaving Hamachi on), then starting AoM (either AoM or Titans) and hosting a game. The hamachi IP Address should show in top left, then turn internet adapter back on.
What I found that was important, and I dont know if anyone mentioned it here, but we encountered problems if players that are joining the game didn’t do it as well – in other words, everyone needs to do this process. Client players after pseudo-hosting a game can just type the hamachi IP adddress into the “directip” box.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
Agenator and I were able to have a game and it worked great. Agenator, feel free to send Shone61 our hamachi network name and password so he can join, and hopefully it works.
Ok he added me now i w8

hi all… im now in some south american hamachi networks and there they do it much easier!
ofc everyone has to get same version (hamachi and the game)
then instead of shutting down router and so on… you go online, type in wrong username/pw wait for the signal: no such nick etc., go back to network, host a game, and they should be able to join (everyone has to do it)…
it worked properly at me…
the override adress stuff etc didnt work, because you only set haamachi ip as your alternate ip… as long the main ip is active it wont work for newest hamachi versions!
note: if u did with the onlinestuff i told, your hosted game wont show your hamachi ip, but dont worry! at me it worked properly!
Hello everyone! I’m a member of the GDM clan, an AoMTT clan that wants to open its wings xD and make english speaking people join. We would like all of you come and join our nets: GDM_TITANS1, GDM_TITANS2, and so on. The passwords are all ’123′.
Our website is http://gdm-clan.activoforo.com/forum.htm. There, in the general forum section, you’ll find a guide for connecting AoM Titans with Hamachi, full working guide. We are currently one of the most active spanish clans in AoMTT.
We hope to see all of you there!!! Have fun and good luck!!
FolkLore =)
BTW, we are the ‘south american hamachi networks’ that N.f.g. said.
This was the solution for me. We all had a router & our firewalls were disabled (you need to disable windows firewall aswell).
Run hamachi, set up a network (the users have to connect to your network).
If you have vista make sure you set hamachi to lvl 1 priority. For this you just need to go to networkcentre then click on manage networkconnections. Click on the ALT-key in the map & move a bit around with your mouse. You’ll see a xp-like menu popping up. Click on advanced/advanced properties (last submenu-item from the advanced menu). You’ll see a screen popping up. Put hamachi on the top with the arrow. Click on “OK”.
Now you need to go to the map where aom & aomx is installed (in your program files). Make a schortcut to your desktop from aom & aomx (do not copy the exe, just make 2 shortcuts).
After that you need to right click on the shortcut of aomx. In the target bar after “…aomx.exe” write: “…aom.exe” OverrideAddress=”5.x.x.x” directIPConnectivity
The x’s represent your hamachi IP, you can copy/see this in the hamachi client.
For example:
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aomx.exe” OverrideAddress=”5.1.1.1″ directIPConnectivity
Do thesame thing for the aom shortcut on your desktop.
Make sure the other players do thesame. Start up the game with the shortcut on your desktop. Host a game. You should see 2 ips on top. A IP assinged by your router & your real ip. You shouldn’t see the hamachi ip, because the hamachi ip should be forwarded to your real one.
This worked for me, it also worked if I were connected behind two routers.
Man go to this site:
http://gdm-clan.activoforo.com/foro-general-aom-aot-f3/aomtt-configuration-guide-for-playing-through-hamachi-eng-t87.htm
There you have a FULL WORKING guide in ENGLISH for connecting AoM with Hamachi: NO NEED of disabling connection, NO NEED for changing shortcut info, and a clan waiting for you! Cmon!
Good luck, hope someone of you get to our site. Hf Tc.
Thanks Alien7. Your way worked perfectly xD
Hello everyone. The help in this thread ultimately allowed my friends and me to enjoy AoM Titans online with each other – thank you.
The way we had to set it up is fairly simple, but took a lot of trial and error. Make sure your router is either DMZ’ed or is forwarding the appropriate ports to your PC (critical).
These ports are:
UDP 6073
UDP 2300-2400
TCP 28800-28805
Secondly, we have all abandoned shortcut switches. Just leave the regular shortcut without Alternate IPs or DirectIPConnectivity.
As many others have said, for each person playing the game, disable each network adapter except for Hamachi. Whether the Hamachi software is running and ONLINE is unimportant.
Then, open the game and enter the multiplayer window where you have the ability to host a game over DirectIP. The big giveaway for telling whether or not AoM captured your Hamachi IP is whether the game *pauses* when entering the LAN/DirectIP menu. The *pause* is good. If you test hosting a game it should show your Hamachi IP by itself in the upper left corner.
Ideally, do not leave the multiplayer join-up window after taking this step – I think it reverts back to your internet IP if its active.
Lastly, minimize the game and re-enable your internet adapter.
It worked for three of us, so hopefully it works for whoever may still be having issues.
I’ve got my solution alrdy and made my own Hamachi server.Running on version 1.0.11
and playing original AoM vers 1.10.
Server name: AoM pela
Password: myth
hey friends,if u want to play on my server over hamachi get in this one
Tempestooo
123
Try adding OverrideAddress=”your hamachi address” directIPConnectivity to the shortcut. This should be done by everyone who is joining the game, using his own hamachi IP, not the host’s one.
Sorry for my bad English, I’m Spanish.
can any 1 plz tell me how to play on direct ip with my friend , when i try to connect its apper 120 secs and its not attemping connetion. i turn off already firewall both computer and i done port forwarding to in both pc still not work !
i try 2 play but it always sais a more up to date titans is required to play. even when i update it it still comes up with that… can any1 help me?
Hello!
I would like to ask your help, how I would be able to play Hamachi-n cross it AoM-el.I say thank you for it
Thank you so much for helping. I and my friend is enjoying the multiplayer game.
Hi Guys.,
I got AOM working using this small workaround
First connect to hamachi and note the Ip address that u get.
Note: Hamachi always gives you same IP no matter how many times you connect so this realy helped…
Now logout of Hamachi…, go to network connection in control pannel and then select Hamachi connection and go to its properties. Select protocol TCP/IP click on properties and select “use the following IP address” and feed the IP that Hamachi provided u.., if its XP it will automatically put the subnet. No need to edit any other setting. just the Ip address and subnet mask.
Remember do not connect to hamachi….
Now disable the primary network connection (The one provided by the ISP)
So in a nut-shell you have your primary connection disabled and Hamachi conenction has static Ip provided by you.
Now launch the game select multiplayer and Host. This time you will see that it selected you Hamachi IP address and nothing else…
now minimise the game using ALT Tab or which ever way u know better and got to network connection and Enable the “primary network connection” connect to your ISP.
Now as you are connected to ISP…, launch Hamachi and connect to Hamachi server.
Get back to the game and kick some ass in multiplayer…
You do not have to use any overridecode as mentioned above.. in other thread as they never work… with AOM..
Its just a 30 sec work before launching the game to force Hamachi IP on AOM..
Remember all users will have to do this…. and everytime the game is launched.
I think the same can be applied to all other games which have conenctivity issues over Hamachi. I have not tried this on any other game yet… but you may as its a very simple workaround…
Thanks so much AlienX and Blink7, I used your guide and have just enjoyed a great game of 4 player age of mythology. For future reference people, you MUST COMPLETELY DISABLE NORTON not just add an exception. Once again, I thank you.
P.S. The person above has taken that “guide” from another site, and did not write it himself.
ITS WORKING THANK YOU ALL. all i did is do the overrideadress thing use aoe3loader and do 1. have all connections and internet enabled
2. start hamachi and connect to the network
3. disable your internet connection
4. start the age of mythology game and go into the multiplayer area to host a game
5. enable your internet connection and give it a few seconds to establish connections
but that all have been done by all players, only one just hosts. But it worked only once, then we had the same problem “attempting connection 120″ i dont know why, we did it exactly the same way. whatever…:(
Hamachi
Group name AOMAOMAOMAOMAOM
Password AOMAOMAOMAOMAOM
HOST ON ABOUT GMT 11:00
Hi all,
Ok I have found solution that works perfectly.
Install AOM,
Install Patch 1.10
Crack the patch.
Install hamachi (all users join same network).
All users need to disable main network adapter (Wireless or Local etc.), better thing is to disable all adapters in “Network settings” and leave only Hamachi adapted enabled. After that internet will disconnect.
All users run the game go to Multiplayer, LAN/Direct IP, and HOST. It should show your Hamachi IP at the top.
After that go back to windows using ALT TAB and enable all adapters that were disabled. Internet will connect, wait for hamachi to synchronize and go back to game via ALT TAB. Return to lobby and connect using hamachi IP or if shown on list to user that is hosting game.
cheers
Ouwh Man!
I just wanna play Age of Mythology with my Friend in Hamachi. But it doesnt works….i can see his game and he can see my game but he cant join….there is a window in the middle and there is a time to 120sec’s….i think OK! I just have to wait and then i can play with my friend…but the time goes from 120sec’s to 0sec’s and nothing happend.
Please help me!! I just want to play with hamachi!!
I used this with AoM The Titans, and a get hamachi IP as alternative IP, and my friend can`t connect to my game. That is because hamachi IP is alternative one. How can i make the game start in only one IP (hamachi IP)??? Please help me.

Hi to everyone!
I will explain how to play Age of Mythology with friends over hamachi, this is only writing, my website (www.serverhelp.codcreators.com(I just launced it so there isn’t anything on it..yet)) will soon have a detailed tutorial on how to work it with multiple friends.
This gets a little bit complicated though.
I used AlienX’s comment further up the page about turning off your internet so that AoM will force AoM to recognise your hamachi IP rather then your normal IP, but this was only for the server hoster.
I found out that everyone who wonts to connect to the server has to do this.
This is because when your on hamachi you need to use your hamachi IP address with the host’s IP address(on hamachi you have your ip address’s, you have to use these ip address’s together or it wont work. So you cant use the servers hamachi ip then try to connect from your router it just wont work). Therefore people connecting to the server needs to disable their internet, leave Hamachi connected, go into AoM click LAN/Direct IP then minimise and recconnect. You will have to wait for the host to reconnect back onto Hamachi before you can connect. Now you take the hosts IP address and use it in Direct IP (unless if appears in the LAN box). You should then be able to connect to the server, Happy Playing ^^.
This worked for me and my friend.
If you are confused in anyway, contact me on my website(if you can, HAHA) or..if you have xfire mine is c4m3ron5.
Shiza, someone already posted the same thing as me.
Sorry, my apologies.
My cousin and I tried every possible step listed on here to the T, and none of them worked until we both put in the OverrideAddress=”xx.xx.xxx.xxx” using our REAL IP that is listed on the internet. google whats my ip and it will show you your broadcast IP. This is probably the fix for the rest of us who followed the exact steps and nothing worked for us. Both my cousin(hosting) and I did this, and it lets us connect via Hamachi. Thanks for all the help everyone.
For those who get the 0.0.0.0 error after doing what everyone says.. here’s how i fixed it:
1) Open regedit
This did the job for me..
2) Find the AoM entries in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology(Expansion Pack)\1.0
3) Delete the entries called “FIRSTRUN” and “SystemInitialization”
4) Now start AoM / AoM:T
5) A license dialog will appear
6) Move the network window and the License window next to eachother
7) Very very quickly, disable the adapter and click Accept
Guess it had something to do with you not being fast enough..
Hello ,,
Is there a way to show both Ip’s (Alternate , Isp ) Like In The First Page Picture ..
We Need A little Help Ppl ,, Thankx
Hello fellas, I tried almost everything possible to run this game.
I can see my friend’s game in the list, I am passing the first timeout (15 secs one) and I am stuck at 120 secs one. I don’t have real IP, my friend (host) does have. I think the problem is in me because of the IP. Tried everything in every way, don’t know if I am doing it wrong but it seems to me that there’s no way to play this game in LAN (seeing that there are posts from 2009 and ppl still don’t know how to play in LAN). My IP is 192.168.1.2 I see that ppl with this kind of IP are able to connect but this doesn’t work for me. Anyway I am not going to give up, if there’s a guide for my kind of problem please link me to it, because of too many guides it’s getting confusing. Thanks folks
Hey guys, I was using this method in the past summer and it worked fine.
Try this method, it should show both your real ip, regardless if you are the host or not.

Hi!
The hamachis’s IP is working and of course we can play, but we have to do this thing all time when we want to play!If we quit the game it doesn’t remember for the hamachi IP so we have to disable, and enable the net again.I would be grateful if you could tell me what we did wrong.
Thanks

Hello,
I’m from Belgium, and have been trying to get this thing started for about 3 hours, i’m getting pretty annoyed.. i’ve read all the comments, did the process for about 10 times, and still it gets stuck with the IP: i never get the Hamachi Ip when i Host, or it is the regular IP, or it is 0 0 0 0, as said before in comments..
I was about to give up, but now I see a lot of people who get it to work, so I can’t give up :s
I’m using Titans version, and he sees that i’m hosting, but attempting connection’s time runs out.. also as posted before
Now i’m thinking, if everybody here does this, en I do it, then why the **** doenst it work here
With AOE II, it was so easy.. now it’s hell.. if I wouldn’t want it to play so bad, i would quit the game.. but I’m sick of playing against PC..
I’m not behind routers or anything, just connection through cable, not wireless.. must be pretty easy I guess, just don’t seem to find the solution..
Anyone who had real problems with locating IP’s and anything like i do, add me on MSN messenger: karel_decuypere@hotmail.com (I speak Dutch and English)
Tnx for the help, which will soon hopefully arrive
ps: I’ve really read every single one of these comments, I know what to do, how to do it.. but the effort doens’t repay me in sweet hours of AOM TT online with an newly addicted friend..
Greetings from Belgium,

http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=oooo.jpg
logical i guess, but how do you get the hamachi IP in there, it just keeps on being 0 0 0 0
hey,
I have a question: alienXs method works for me, but I have to disable my internet connection evertime, otherwise I don’t get the hamachi IP. any ideas on how to get my hamachi IP in aom permanently? thx
Hi!
Cuyper, we had the same problem!
If you find a solution for this, please send an e-mail( unearthly@freemail.hu)
Thanks!
I’m waiting here and checking every day 25 times to read a solution, I can’t find any.. he won’t choose the hamachi ip so picks 0 0 0 0
I HAVE A PERFECT SOLUTION!
Install the newest patch, open hamachi, and save your hamachi IP into a text file or what you want, and exit hamachi…and then go to network connections, right click on hamachi connection –>properties—->TCP/IP—->properties—–>Use the following ip address:your hamachi IP from the previous text file.You don’t have to enter a subnet mask, just click OK.
Now, don’t disable the local are connection, Start the game—->multiplayer—–>Online and wait until it updates your game.
As soon as the update finishes, exit the game.Now go to the network connections, and disable your local area network, and start the game again.Now—>multiplayer——>LAN—–>host and see if it shows your hamachi IP.Then you can enable the net, and open hamachi.If you want to play later, you just have to disable the local area connection, start the game and play
It worked for me and my friend, it won’t show 0.0.0.0. for sure!(well…I hope
)
The patch has been installed, all the rest I did.. actually, your method is one of the solutions above, which i’ve tried allready
he still gives me 0 0 0 0, because i have no internet, and the hamachi’s IP doensn’t get into AOM..
This sucks big time, have to give up :s
“Now, don’t disable the local are connection, Start the game—->multiplayer—–>Online and wait until it updates your game.” did you do this? because the is why you got 0 0 0 0 . my friend had 0 0 0 0 , updated the game in the multiplayer section, and it worked for him.
I have the newest update, i downloaded from internet.. when I go in online, he says it needs updating, but then it stops, it does not update automatically..
tnx for the help allready!
Hmm…. i don’t know what’s the problem with your game, but if you download the game from this link, you’ll get an update with it, and it will surely work: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4364958/Age_of_Mythology___Age_of_Mythology_-_The_Titans
I can offer this, but nothing more… sorry, I’ve downloaded from this link, and with the solution above, it worked.Don’t give up, This is the best strategic game in the world, especially with friends!
i will try it
tnx man.. dont know where i got my copy from..
does it have something to do with cd keys?
Spirit, can you add me on MSN for some questions?
Tnx
Spirit, i love you
Problem was the version i guess.. the link you gave me just updatet automatically, my version didn’t react to the online part..
Now i get the Hamachi ip, does my opponent (i want to play with) also have to do this trick with internet disabling? cause he doesnt have to host
I’m back!
.
I’m glad i could help you, you know i tried it a lot of ways too, but finally i managed to do it, with these comments here, so thank you, all of you
If you want to play or something here’s my msn:koni-chan@freemail.hu
Well..I can’t answer your last question, because we do it every time, but i will try it(when only the one, -who hosts- disables the net)It would be much easier, but well, it’s not too hard to do this every time, only 1-2 sec
Bye

Hello , if somebody want to play with me and some other romanian players write me to benimussus@yahoo.com or join hamachi network : benimussusss with pass : beni
i joined, but nobody is ever online :s (well once)
Zim’s advice worked for me!
HY , I have a problem , I`m playing with a friend but we can`t choose our race god , etc except the ready button I think none of them work , is there somenthing I can do ? thanks
It worked, thanks
First of all:
A big fat THANKS from holland to you guys!
Seriously me and a friend of mine wanted to play AoM together for sooo long now and now we can thanks!
I use the: “turn of ur local connection first” method one of you suggested (great thinking)
But it only works for AoM , and not for the titans expansion.
With the expansion it will show this ip: 0.0.0.0
How come?
Its great to be able to play, but titans is much more balanced and fun imho.
Please help and thanks again, really ur doing good here =D
Aaaight:
Forget what i just said about titans not working.
What i did is the following:
I did everything Randall_The_Great said (thanks dude). Thats round post 75 for those who want to see that.
The only thing what i did differently is actually did the OverrideAcces=”1.308.5.762″ (<- fictional ip) with my Hamachi Ip.
Ive shut my local network down, so that means your whole connection with internet. Then started AoM Titans, and then enabled my network again.
Now it shows my hamachi IP on multiplayer
I cant try it with my AoM mate yet cause he’s @ school today but i will let you know if this worked for us cause were both behind routers
I suggest that you all try Tunngle the new solution for gaming online.
This software is incredible though it has still a german interface.
You can find a fan english guide here http://kissmyrank.2kool4u.net/station/index.php?topic=4
and the network list here http://kissmyrank.2kool4u.net/tunngle/
gameranger is a great games server ( it has all games )
you can download it from here : http://www.gameranger.com . To play aom , or aomt you will need same crack (also version 1.03 ) which you can find here : http://www.aom.gaming.cx
after you’ve created an account and got onto the server , add me as a friend ( my nick : benimussus ) and i can help you if some other problems occur .
It works 100% , try it
Can someone explain what do you guys mean by “OverrideAddress=”xx.xx.xxx.xxx”” Where do you type it in? What file? option? Where?!
Thanks

AlienX’s way works perfect, nice one
I need help on alienx’s way , i hav an ip of x.xx.xxx.xxx and i am hosting a game using AlienX’s method.I am hosting the game but my friend who lives in the same city has an ip on hamachi x.xx.x.xx and he cant find my game. Any methods please?
OK for those who geht the 0.0.0.0 error: while your internet is off, your hamachi IP is automatically set to 0.0.0.0. To fix this open your network configuration, right click hamachi, properties, IP 4 (not 6) and activate “use this IP” (or whatever it’s called). Type your hamachi number in the field below and click the subnet field once, Windows will fill in the rest.
Then apply all the settings, disconnect your internet, startup AoM(TT) Multiplayer, the hosts should now see, their IP is not 0.0.0.0 anymore. Reconnect your Internet and connect to the server. Voilà this should be it
Have a question, this works also with the titans expansion?
