Does Gamespy not work with FFh2?

[Aurore]

I tried gamespy, to hook up with a friend, but the game crashes for both of us at the end of the first players turn, when it says 'waiting for other players' after the first player finishes a turn.

That is sad as I'd love to play against humans, but no luck so far. The lobby did display our game, and we were able to start, but we crashed every time after 1st player finished turn.

I have heard of people making it work before, but I haven't personally tried. My only advice is to make sure you each have the same patch.

use hamachi and play (v)Lan games

Before I was introduced to Hamchi, I played ffh mp exclusively on Gamespy. It usually worked pretty well for me.

Virtual LAN
Due to some problems getting games with more than 4 people connected properly in multiplayer, we've been using the virtual LAN program, Hamachi. Click the following link for more information and a download (grab the beta version):
http://www.hamachi.cc/download/
Once installed, run it, and go through the steps it says to join a virtual network, choosing:
FallFromHeaven (you'll have to type it in I think, and its case sensitive), with password ffh
or
FallFromHeavenAnnex, with password ffh
or
FallFromHeaven2, with password ffh

So far it's worked quite nicely, and is the best way to talk realtime to other players outside of the game.

Links and whatnot.
