There is no way to see a hosted game in multiplaer lan mode, even i tried with vpn or changing the ip in settings.in or even with hamachi. Game is updated to latest patch 1.1.0.0!

Please give a solution!

Well I would guess you have to set up a LAN then go into LAN. Although thats only my guess.

I've hosted games at two different LANs and no one had any trouble seeing my games.

He I just thought of something. Why are you fooling around with an IP in LAN?

I didn't at start, 1st thing is to try with default settings ofcourse.. It's a WiFi LAN though so, we thought that maybe can't support games out physical local ip range, so the other computer took an ip through my local network, and we tried again [10.224.4.131:mine, 10.224.4.132:the other], but nothing changed.. then we tried assign ips to game settings.ini, nothing again..

Yha thats not how LAN works. If you want to use Wi-Fi you could try creating something called a Ad-hovac network. Although I have never done it and I'm not use that it would help you. The most simple option would just to use a either cable between the two comps like a normal LAN.

You cant use cable to connect computers of a 500m distance.. either you can't characterize WiFi as non-LAN network. We play successfully lots of other popular games that support multiplayer through LAN.. and this is beyond cables..

The problem might be on assigned ips and subdomains, that as i guess the game's lan built is designed to auto-assign these instead of prompting the user to submit them.
