Is the MP of the gog version stable? (I only play LAN)

I remember having troubles like desyncs with the original version way back when it first came out.

SmilingWorlock: Is the MP of the gog version stable? (I only play LAN)

I remember having troubles like desyncs with the original version way back when it first came out.
I too would like to know if LAN has been fixed from the original as many hours of game play would often be wasted when we discovered multiplayer was out of sync.

Very frustrating and little point buying for LAN multiplayer if it's not fixed.

indeed there were lots of desync problems with the original release, but the gold version fixed almost everything. i still play the game (Physical Gold v1.60) a lot with a friend over hamachi and we haven't encoutered any problems. only once, when we tried do play a game with 16 bots, i guess the game couldn't handle that, it got out of sync in like 5min. anyway, the game should be stable, though i can't say anything about the GoG release since i haven't tried it yet.

Hello!

Could you spare 5 minutes to explain to me how to make Srttelrs 3 work over hamachi. I have used hamachi before with other games but I can't make it to work with settlers. My friend can't see the games I'm creating.

Thanks in advance!

im so sorry, i recently switched all my computers to arch linux, so i cannot help you directly, but i might be able to help in another way.
most important for playing over hamachi is opening the ports the game uses, it never worked for us with closed ports.

and remember that there has to be an expection in the windows firewall if you are using it (normally a popup appears in windows after starting a network game)
