GOW Multiplayer Fix

To play Gears of War online using Hamachi you need a client fix that will bypass the maximum of 30 ping for LAN games. You can get this fix from RapidShare or from MiHD.

Rapidshare Link
MiHD Link

Make backups of the original files in your GOW install folder that this fix will replace.

(note: this fix will remove any of your old profiles, such as your saved campaign, keyboard configuration, and you are only allowed to use one player profile per machine)

To play hop on the IRC room and look for players and get their Hamachi IP address from them and when you are in the game open the console (by pressing either ~ or ¬, depending on what type of keyboard you have) and type...
open hamachi-ip
Where hamachi-ip will be replaced by the hosting players Hamachi IP address.
For example you might type...
open 5.1.2.3
...if 5.1.2.3 was the Hamachi IP address of the hosting player.

The patch broke this fix apparently, too bad my game was patched before I could even give this fix a shot. Are there any plans on releasing a newer version of this fix that will work with the new patch?
