    Default Not the usual online problem

    I'm not new to rome total war in fact im a preety good player, and have won many online battles gloriously, but lately I've had a strange problem when trying to play online. I can log in just fine but when i try to join a game it either just stays loading and i have to press ctrl del to close the game or it says unable to join game (GS) Ive tried joining dozens of games and that always comes out and when i try to host a game no one ever joins and thats strange because it use to be people would join almost immediately ive literaly have waited 2 hours and nothing. I use to be able to play just fine until recently and i can play napoleon total war online just fine ive tried unistalling and reinstalling also tried turning of windows firewall i even bought the steam version of the game since i wanted alexander anyways but still the same problem

    as u can probaly tell, life without noob box stomping and hunting down romans like rabbits with the barbarian horde is just agonizing. someone please help me

    o.0 You don't have to completely uninstall Hamachi to play RTW on GS? Looks like I just learned something from helping somebody else learn something.

    i generally uninstall hamachi immediately after i am done with it. it will cause you to be incompattible with everyone on every game except starcraft2. Battlenet is a gigantic LAN network as well u c.

    I have exactly the same problem atm!

    But what is Hamachi and How do I know I have it?

    If you don't know if you have it, then you don't have it.

    If you host a game, can other people join it?

    Thanx for the quick response!

    No they can't... it's like they can't see me or something. I've only managed to join 2 games in the last month or so and they were both 'normal' sized armies. Could that be clue? (like Napoleonheir, disableling firewall didn't help either)

    alright kong, i was going to reply to Napoleonic heir being so good as he said he is in the first post but helping you is more important.
    alright think hard. Between the time when RTW was working, and when it stopped working, What did you install on it or change?
