Hi:)
I have got two computers at home (PC and notebook). I wanna play against my girlfriend. I have KaM TSK version 1.31 on both computers. When I use hamachi, the game is laggy. Is there a way to play unlaggy? I am computer noob:) And sorry for my bad english Thanks for your help

If you both play at the same home (on the same LAN), you don't need Hamachi, you can just make a LAN game and that's it! It shouldn't lag at all
And otherwise (not on the same LAN), the Direct IP mode also works fine in my experience (but it takes more effort to make it work than Hamachi, such as forwarding ports or temporarily connection your computer directly to the internet)

Yes, i wanna play at home.. So i connect both computers via cabel, create network and connection type in game must i use? Can you explain it like for noobs?:) thanks

You should use a router (the box which connects you to the internet ) instead of connecting those computers directly to each other with the cable*. So connect both computers to ther router. I haven't played KaM multiplayer so I don't know if you have to enter your IP-address if you want to play a LAN game... So if KaM doesn't automaticly find other persons hosted game you need to search the game with IP-address. Ignore the rest if you managed to find and start the game.

It's better to write down the address before lanching the game. You'll need only that computer's IP address which hosts the game.
Depending on your router settings, your IP-address in LAN is 192.168.1.X or 10.0.0.X . Usually routers have 4 or 5 slots for computers and the X-number usually is 1 or 2 in the first slot, 2 or 3 in the second slot etc.

You can check your address by opening command prompt. Press Win + R, type cmd and press ok. Now the command prompt should open. Then type ipconfig and press enter.

Now you should see you IP-address and some other information. Example

I hope this helped.


*Well, at least me and my brother had to do because LAN-connection didn't work when we tried to play HOMM3 by connecting the ethernet cable directly from computer to another.

Thank you very much!:)
