Sheddy Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I am trying with my mate to set up a network game. When try directly via FM10 Network connections it just does not connect. When we use Hamachi as a VPN it does but it is amazingly, horribly, unplayably slow. Before we get asked we both have very upto date hardware and both have high speed Broadband services. Any advice from anyone on how to remedy this would be greatly appreciated. As a minor whinge, why has this area (network connectivity) moved onf rom previous areas at all?

Alurny Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Because SI want you to pay for FML if you want to do multiplayer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 There is nothing wrong with the network game option and is easy if you know what you are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ_WWFC Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I've tried it with a mate with the last 2 versions and it too for me, ridiculously slow Not tried FM10 yet though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheddy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Because SI want you to pay for FML if you want to do multiplayer. FML is a different game, I tried it and don't like it there is just no realism for me, I don't want to discuss that point it is just my opinion. I would happily pay for a high speed way of playing an online joint game with my mates of FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what is it that I could possibly be doing wrong? Do I need to change firewalls etc? I am looking for help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
