Hello.
Basically,when I play with a friend with Hamachi or Wippien,a similar one,or even direct connect...the host goes some days or months forward than the other player,so the other players gets an horrible lag.
What might cause it?

It happens with Doomsday
 
had the same problem.

there are some things you have to consider when playing online.

- never pause the game.
- play always at the same speed
- choose a slow gamespeed
- host should be the person with the best PC (hardware-wise)


the problem is, that the host-pc has to calculate all the actions, of the ai and transmit it to the others human-players, if the game is too fast, the infos wont get there fast enough

PS if any player is using a router, it couldn't hurt to read THIS THREAD (the whole thing).
