Play Stronghold Crusader 1 & 2 over Hamachi

We explain here how you can play Stronghold Crusader in multi-player mode via Hamachi.

1.) Set up Hamachi for Stronghold Crusader

1. Install the Hamachi VPN program. You can download LogMeIn Hamachi here.
2. After opening Hamachi, either join an existing network or create a new one. To do this, click on "Network" and select the appropriate option.
3. Note that all players must use the same network.
4. Now open the "Network and Sharing Center" in the Control Panel. You can also open it directly by entering "Share" in the Windows search. As a rule, it is the first hit.
5. In the Network and Sharing Center, click on "Change adapter settings" on the left.
6. Here you open the menu item "Advanced" and select "Advanced Options". If the menu is not displayed, press the [Alt] key to make it visible.
7. You can also find Hamachi here under Connections. Use the green arrows to move the adapter to the top of the list and save the change by clicking OK.

2.) Set up multiplayer game in Stronghold Crusader

Now start the game and select the multiplayer mode.

• Create a game as usual and choose TCP / IP.
• If you are just waiting for your teammates, give them your Hamachi IP address. You will find this next to your name in the Hamachi client.
• As a teammate, you also open the multiplayer mode.
• Select TCP / IP as the connection type and enter the IP address of the host.
• Now you can connect and fight your medieval battles.
