Rainbow Six Vegas 2-Hamachi Fix
=============================================
=============================================
There is a little bit of configuration that needs to be done so that Hamachi runs correctly for RSV2. The key to setting this up is making sure that Hamachi is the primary LAN on your computer. RSV2 will automatically search the first LAN (Local Area Network) that is listed on your computer. Most people have a network already on their computer because of their internet connection. Don't worry, making these changes to your network configuration will not affect your current LAN/internet. Follow these instructions carefully:
1. Install Hamachi (if you don't already have it)
-You need to have version 1.0.2.5 installed if you already have an account.
2. Create your unique identification in the Hamachi program.
3. Set up your network to view Hamachi as your primary LAN:

Now restart your computer.
You may have to disable the windows firewall"for hamachi" and in some cases you may not be able to use a router or wireless connection to play the game.
Disable windows firewall "At your own risk".

-------------------------------Windows Vista----------------------------------
a. Click the startmenu, type in ncpa.cpl into the search field, click ENTER
b. In the new window, click "alt" on your keyboard, click the advanced tab, then click advanced settings.
c. In the adapter/bindings tab under connections, use the up/down arrows to relocate the "hamachi" network connection to the top. This will make RSV2 choose the hamachi network connection as default.
4. Now you need to select a Hamachi Network to join other players that are playing RSV2
5. Visit http://www.planethamachi.com/net_public.php
6. Select a network that is playing RSV2 and select the "join" button at the bottom of the screen
7. A download window will pop up. Tell the download window to open the file with Hamachi.
Now this network will be added to your Hamachi program.
8. Now you can either host a game of RSV2 or try to find an existing server by searching the LAN sections of story mode,
versus, and terrorist hunt.
9. If you can't find a game, you can set up a game with people by messaging with the players in the network.
Some people have had an error from the game saying that the "ethernet cable is disconnected". As of right now, we are not sure exactly what causes this. I would recommend that you uninstall Hamachi and reinstall the latest up-to-date version. Make sure that all of your settings are set to "default". If you've messed with Hamachi Settings or tried to alter any of the files in RSV2, this could be the cause of your problem. If all else fails, try reinstalling your RSV2 game. If we figure out exactly what causes this error, then we will update everyone as soon as possible.
Just so you all know, this network configuration does make the game work and we do have people playing the game. As far as finding servers... this game is very new and there aren't always going to be servers up and running. As soon as you log into a network, feel free to search for servers in your RSV2 game in the various LAN modes. If you do not find a server, then open one yourself and wait at least 10 minutes. There are many other people searching for games, and you will very likely have someone join your room. If this doesn't work for you, then find people that are online in your network and ask them to play with you. As this game is released worldwide and there are more players, it will be easier to find open servers all the time.
