Ultimate Dominion Mod @ Hamachi - Vista PC conection Problem

[BBob]

Hi Folks.

We play multiplayer BOTF mit UDM 3.0.1. via hamachi.

We succesfully started a MP-Game (3 Players 2x XP + 1x Vista). Everything was fine.

Problem:
After several turns the game crashed (as i recognized is quiet normal from time to time with the Mod). We tried to relaunch our game but the Vista User can't enter the hosted game although both XP Users have no problem at all to rejoin.

Vista User
- can see the hostedMP game as usuall but can not connect.
- we tried very often
- same versions/ patches of everything (moments before we had no problems.

Does anybody have a good clou what this is about?
Ideas most welcome,
greetz BBob

i don't think it has to do with vista as i had many vista hamachi games before... did you try letting vista guy host? did you try wz with bypass? did you try gameranger?

Big Thx for the reply Ferengi.

I don't think it's a Vista Problem in general too. As I mentioned the game was runnig perfectly fine with all Systems (XP+Vista). But its clear, that the conection Problem comes from the Vista PC, because the other 2 have no limitations in hosting or joining the game. It's like the Vista Firewall (or whatever) had setup a conection Block for the game after the first try. No problem with Hamachi in other games.

Question:
Do you know what exectely to remove from the Firewall rules (or other options) in Vista that can undo this conection blocking from BOTF?

- Yes, we did try to let the VistaPC host. No Conection.
- what is "wz"
- is gameranger like hamachi?

Hey Ferengi thanks so far. I will follow the 7. Rule Of Acquisition and keep my Ears open.
