Troubleshooter:

Make sure…

• The host has a pretty decent connection and you’ve arranged game properly through Skype/IM.
• You have all logged in to Hamachi and have copied the correct Hamachi IP of the host.
• You all have the same, up to date TA-Bugfix version.
• You have not switched back to ‘OTA’ using the .bat files in your TA dir.
• You have a beer or tea prepared for the great battle ahead!
• You’ve added the Hamachi IP’s of all your TA compadres into that annoying Firewall of yours.
• You have restarted TA if there have been any recent problems or issues.
• Your router isn’t blocking other players from pinging you in Hamachi. Always test ping pre-game

Er… think that’s almost everything.

1. Install our T.A Bugfix Community Pack
