LAN ok, Net doesn't work

hi folks

i played fleetops yesterday via lan with my friend - 3.1.2 and everything worked just fine. We wanted to try another game today, but we are both at home, so we tried it with hamachi, which did work fine all the time. He plays with his notebook, I play with my PC - as yesterday. But when we start the game, while the loading screen shows up game crashes instantly on both sides. what can we do?

The devs were having problems with hamachi as well, although I'm not sure if it's the same issue.  You can always try tunngle.  Even if you don't play with the rest of the online community, tunngle is pretty decent and easy to use.  Worth a shot, anyway.

Yes... I strongly recommend Tunngle. It's by far the best VPN client I've ever used.

I just wanted to post, I solved the issue. Simply: 3.1.2 doesn't check if recent maps in the maps folder are compatible and tries to start a game -> crashes.

Except the fact they have a grudge against me. I can't do anything but chat!
