For all the people who can't connect to the servers

[JayCooper]

I see that a lot of people here got a problems with the server connection. (Authentication Fail (3) error)
The most common reason for this is the serial key problem.
I got the same problem, because I've lost my Crysis user's manual with the CDKEY (It was a long time... )

Anyway, there is a possibility to play for the people who got this problem.

How to play:
-First of all you have to download Hamachi (required to create Virtual Private Network) here: https://secure.logmein.com/hamachi.msi
-Then you have to install it. It's really simple.
-Run Hamachi, click on "Network">"Connect to existing network..."
-And type following:
identificator: mechwarriorlivinglegends
password: mechwarriorlivinglegends

That's it. Since now you got LAN connection via internet with all the people who also in this network, so we can play using LAN not Internet.
Somebody have to create LAN game and others have to go "Local Network Game>>Connect to IP" and type the Hamachi IP address(not external) of the person who created the game.

Update: If you get "Kicked from server" when trying to connect to the Hamachi server, try to go "Multiplayer>>Internet Game>>Connect to IP" and type Hamachi server IP there (not in the LAN section).

be careful with Hamachi, if you have shared folders set up over your lan from your PC you are joining with I think it opens it up to those in that group

You need simply setup a password for access to your PC, so no one can see your files.

Hey, I have this same issue..I've tried joining the server, but it said that the network appears to be full?

[Thespian]

Yeah, i'm getting the same error, could you increase the limit on the number of people allowed? Or I could create my own network, if there's enough people getting locked out.

[Thespian]

Okay, I'm going to create my own network, and anyone's free to join. Login details are as follows:

ID: mechwarriorlivinglegends2

Password: mechwarriorlivinglegends

S! I created my network with hamatchi, but when I try to connect to my own server a "Connection timeout" message appears. Any suggestions?

Thanks

[Darkveld]

Looks like we need more networks, 1 and 2 are both full, mind if i create mechwarriorlivinglegends3?

[Darkveld]

Hey, we can't seem to get the game to work, can't see each other's servers, my firewall is down and i have the hamachi connection at top priority over LAN, any ideas? is yours working?

[Darkveld]

Nevermind, it seems that you need to be logged into gamespy first before connecting, works now

[legato89]

mechwarriorlivinglegends3 guys, currently the host IP is 5.212.205.116. Enter it in LAN, if it doesnt work try internet as stated by the OP.

[Darkveld]

hey, can the owners of the first 2 networks kick the offline players every once in a while? otherwise we will be stuck with only the third one for people to join

[Nindydar]

Since apparently the first 3 are full due to owners not purging offline players, i have set up mechwarriorlivinglegends4 with a password mechwarriorlivinglegends

[Darkveld]

Ive been purging players, we just happened to actually have a full network of online people at the time

[Entari]

host : mechwarriorlivinglegends5

password : mechwarriorlivinglegends

I will also leave this up 24/7 as i see some of the other ones arent. Also i dont remember where i saw them but there are hamachi bots that will kick in actives. Will try and look for those as well.

Lastly there is a dedicated server running. Should be up most of the time if not just make a new one. If you dont see it in teh LAN list make sure you logged into gamespy first. If you still dont see it, you should beable to add my ip (boomstick in hamachi) and you should be able to connect taht way. Generally if you cant see the lan game listed then you have a firewall blocking it.

ip should be 5.5.208.101 ->> should always be up.
