New to this; Online session through Hamachi

Hey ladies and gents,
me and a friend of mine have been trying to get BG:EE to run multiplayer. But it's not working for us,
we know there's issues with it at the moment so there's no "nerdrage" here.

Trying to open a UDP port didn't work too well, so we took solace in Hamachi. Hamachi set up was fairly straight forward and easy, and we got into a session together.
Except when we actually *started the game* player #2 (Person not hosted) got booted. Able to rejoin the game (And have his character reassigned to him) but as soon as the action started; booted again.

Is this a problem with the program or is it BG:EE?
Any ideas?

    @Elendar whatever problem they're having i highly doubt it's an hamachi issue so tunngle is unlikely to make a difference.

    @Dutchtica‌

    I would assume it's BG:EE

    but just in case follow these steps... now i'm assuming you're running windows 7 otherwise i apologise.

    1) go to Control Panel (it should be in the start/windows menu).

    2) click on "View network status and tasks".

    3) click on "Change adapter settings".

    4) press your Alt key on your keyboard.

    5) on the menu bar that appears in the adapter settings window click the "Advanced" menu, and select "Advanced Settings" from the list of options in that menu.

    6) I the first tab "Adapters and Bindings" in the top box labelled "Connections:" select "Hamachi" and use the arrows on the right to move it to the top.

    both you and your friend should do this... and what this does is prioritise the Hamachi connection over your wireless/wired connection in some cases giving it more stability.

    there is no guarantee this is going to work but it's all i got if you wish to use Hamachi.
