masticator Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 yeah ive tried following their 'guide' to networking gaming but it involves a hell of alot of messing about with firewalls,etc. if your not that great with a PC like me then your pretty much screwed. whereas with hamachi its just click and go. i think in future versions of the game SI need to make network gaming more easily accessable and a lot more user friendly, because without hamachi it is a total and utter ball ache. numerous times ive seen people asking for help/information via this site reguarding network play only for it to be met with a virtual wall of silence. the manual is no help either with its couple of vague paragraphs. IMO network play is a fantastic way of playing FM and once youve tried it its very difficult to go back to playing alone. all i want to know is why is it not promoted more by SI and treated as a bit of an after thought?

Dan-Toon-Army Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Ive also had many a problem with networking. And i dont like messing about with Firewalls , and my mates arnt really motivated to try hamachi. So id also like to see SI promote networing a bit more , as eventhough i havnt tried it , im sure its great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
