FG Unity can't come fast enough

i stopped using Hamachi for the 4 people limit on the free version. i use Zero Tier One and I can host unlimited players.

You can have unlimited networks on free version of Hamachi. So, you setup one network for the first 4, a second network for the next 4, etc. This was documented in the posts explaining how to setup Hamachi.

FYI, we all understand the frustration. And hopefully all the advice we are given is not to make you feel bad, only to help you the next time. Nothing networking/connectivity wise has changed in FG since when it was working for you, but rather rather something on the host computer, network, or ISP side. If you need specific help, let us know.

This is what we did. It was such a PITA to manage when you add players or change IPs or reinstall Windows or the start are aligned incorrectly that we stopped using that house of cards.

Funny, when I used it, I only had to set it up once. Never had to touch it after that. Players 1-4 got one network (which never changed), players 5-8 got the next network (which never changed), etc (the GM was in each network). When a player connected to their assigned network, they select the GM's computer in the network list, copied the IP address displayed there, then pasted it into the "host" field on the join game screen. Simple, easy peasy. Windows updates did not disturb the configuration.

Glad it worked for you.
