Is there a reason as to why hosting LAN games with Radmin/Hamachi in LAN mode no longer works
-
After the Lobby update, you cannot host LAN games with Radmin/Hamachi in LAN mode, i dont exactly know the reason why, maybe due to a security issue? basically before the lobby update, we did try a portforwarded private lobby between friends then also tried one with Radmin and the result we got was that the LAN lobby hosted with Radmin was much less laggier than the portforwarded custom game we hosted. after having returned to Plutonium to my surprise, hosting a LAN lobby with Radmin or Hamachi no longer works.
im curious if there is a reason as to why this has been disabled? i am curious. perhaps something to do with BO2 itself? would love to know the reason.
Thanks.

It wasn't "disabled" in the sense that it's not intentional
The devs don't just tick the options they want.
The lobby update was a big rework of how custom games worked and so some features can't just work out of the box anymore, it needs additional development time (if it's even possible)From what I understood now the port is always the same which means that if 2 machines on the same connection have the same port it will cause networking issues but don't quote me on that I could be completely wrong.
The only thing I can tell you for sure is that it wasn't removed intentionally or deactivated or whatever.
LAN simply (sadly) doesn't work anymore on BO2 afaik
