Playing Multiplayer.

Can you only play the game via LAN? can you connect over the internet or is that a patch/Add on later down the line. Surely that should have made it to the final release? biggest selling point of BG:EE multiplayer connectivity.

So far only way i have gotten it to work is via hamachi.
Hope theyre patching it soon.

I hate Hamachi, Gameranger is like so much better and simpler. I tried hamachi before and it was just a right faff.

Majoca

@Origin88, could you explain how to set up a hamachi game in simple terms may be useful, If im going to try it I want to know what to do :P

Origin88

Dont know how anything can be simpler then hamachi, its pretty straightforward.

Download and install, choose a username, youll automaticly be given an hamachi IP of your own.

Then you just create a network, choose a name and password and give those to the people you want to play with.

Once everyone is in your hamachi network, you create a multiplayer game and they connect to your hamachi IP.

And thats about it, hope its helpful to you

Gameranger is easier than that, doesn't support enhanced edition yet.

Download Gameranger,
make a login,
host a server, invite your friends
click play
starts up game in the multiplayer menu.

does everything automatically, im going to give hamachi a go.

@Origin88

so which is the Ip Address of Hamachi, its a little confusing :P

Majoca

@Origin88, sorry last message Ive made a network is it just a case of setting up a game and he will be able to play?
