Help
First
Get hamachi: https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp. Install it, run it, and give it access in your firewall. Go to preferences (right button on hamachi) for settings - make sure ur hamachi name is the same as your ingame name.
We play on hamachi, which is a program that creates a LAN network over tcp/ip. No need for gamespy anymore.
2nd
Join a hamachi network, click on 'join existing network', or create a new one. I have made 2 networks for multiplayer:
name: Blitz2 Lobby1
pass: blitz
name: Blitz2 Beta Testing
pass: test
Do note you can only play with people in the same network. Create a temporary new one if you have too (it's easy), and perhaps delete it afterwards to prevent polution. Also you can go offline/online in each network, which prevents lag.
3rd
Start blitzkrieg, go into options, and chance your LAN-ip to the hamachi ip (the 5.111.111.111 or something address).
4th
Go to multiplayer in blitzkrieg, and select NETWORK instead of GAMESPY.
Now you are all set.
5th
Get connected with other players by signing up to the active player list with your xfire info. Download and install xfire, and add all the people on the active list. Then make a new room in xfire, or join the infamous 'blitz tonite' room. Invite all the friends you see on xfire into the room, and tell them the exact hamachi network + pw they need to join inorder to play with you - create a new one if necessary.
6th
Go Forth and Lay Waste to your infernal Blitz2 Enemies. Report bugs, suggestions and prayers to korona back into the beta testing forums. Have fun!
