Play Age of Empires 1-3 on Hamachi - Here's how

In a few steps you can play Age of Empires via Hamachi. We'll explain how it works.

1.) Set up Hamachi for Age of Empires

1. Install Hamachi first.
2. Start the network program and either join an existing network or create a new one. To do this, click on "Network" in the menu bar and select the appropriate option. All players must join the same network.
3. So that the Age of Empires games also recognize the correct IP, i.e. that of Hamachi, you now have to change the adapter priority.

2.) Play Age of Empires via Hamachi - compare IP address

To do this, open the "Network and Sharing Center" in the Control Panel. You can also open this via the search by entering "Approval", the center should be the first suggestion.

1. In the Network and Sharing Center, click on "Change adapter settings" on the left.
2. Click on "Advanced" in the menu bar and select "Advanced Settings". If the menu bars are not displayed, press the [Alt] key.
3. In the first tab "Adapters and bindings" you will also find Hamachi under "Connections". Click on the point and use the green arrow to move it to the top of the list. So network services are the first to access Hamachi.
4. Save the change by clicking OK.
5. Age of Empires should now use Hamachi IP and nothing should stand in the way of your network battles.
