OK this is what i did, I download game hunter from official webside, I install it, and trying to work, but i could not do it :S When I open Gta Game Hunter tell me that '' Component 'mswinsck.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid ! '' Ugh... Plz Answer

What version of Windows are you using? 98/2k/XP/Vista 32bit or 64bit and what service pack.

The installer tries to put mswinsck.ocx into your Windows system folder (usually c:\windows\system32\). Open that folder and check if the mswinsck.ocx is there. If it's not there then most likely some security program (antivirus) you have prevented the installer from writing to that folder.

Try running gta2gh1487_installer.exe again and this time click on "show details during the install". One problem is that it will clear the details as soon as the installer finishes. I need to change that in the future, so you can see if there were any errors.

If you know how to use a cmd.exe prompt then you can try to manually register the file:

Windows 95, 98, or Me:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system\MSWINSCK.OCX

Windows NT or 2000:
regsvr32 c:\WINNT\system32\MSWINSCK.OCX

Windows XP:
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\MSWINSCK.OCX

You need to open these ports on your router/firewall: 47624 TCP/UDP Port range 2300-2400 TCP/UDP.

That's a bad idea. IP addresses change and people aren't going to keep the game open long. You need realtime chat to see if someone is trying to join and not succeeding. Best to use an instant messenger or Game Hunter.

Hi all,
simply, I have a problem with playing GTA2 online.

I have read a lot of what to do to play it online. I have already downloaded the "GTA2 Game Hunter", this seems the best (and easiest) way to play GTA2 online.
And now, here is the major problem: when I launch "GTA2 Game Hunter" program, then signed in and finally click on some available game to join it, there is shown a window where the "Join" button is DISABLED. And now, what should I do?

I have read (on the site http://gtamp.com/gta2/network-help/) that I have to forward the ports 47624 (both TCP and UDP) and moreover the port range 2300-2400 (again both TCP and UDP). WHAT THIS EXACTLY MEAN?
Does this "port forwarding" mean only "allowing" communication over them (is it sufficient that I only allow these ports, for example in "Windows firewall")?

By the way, I have the "PRIVATE" IP address. Can I play online with it (if not, all my writing effort was useless )?
If there is only problem with port forwarding, I would be very pleased if someone can write for me a step-by-step instructions what to do (concretely on Windows XP and with Windows "classic" firewall).

Thanks in advance.

[Sektor]

It's usually not enough to just allow ports on your Windows firewall. Most setups also require logging into the configuration webpage of their modem/router and adding some port forwarding rules (description, port numbers, protocol and the IP address of the computer you want to forward to).

Is your modem/router in this list? http://www.portforward.com/english/applica.../GTA2Mindex.htm

Here's a port forwarding example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uftgb65vE6I

The IP addresses, username, password, port numbers and general look of the config webpage can be totally different from the video, so you will have to use logic to adapt it to your needs.

Hi again,
once more, I DON'T have the "public" IP address.
And I don't have a router. Can I forward ports without router?

Or does it mean if I buy the router shall I be able to forward ports?

Thanks.

[Sektor]

In your case, it seems like you don't have access to port forwarding, so you can't play GTA2. Ask your provider if they can forward ports for you.

Don't buy a router, it won't help you, that would just add an extra level of complication to your setup.

[petike]

Okay,
it seems that I cannot play it in "direct" way.
But what about with "Hamachi"?

Do I need to forward the specific ports even when I play it over Hamachi?

[OddJoe69]

Hey all,

I have GTA2 with Game Hunter, running on windows xp sp2. Evererything works just fine for me to join a game, but can't host one. It comes up with error 1400. when I click ok then it kicks me off. I have hamachi installed and the ports open on my router, my firewall is turned totaly off. I can join games just fine, but not host them...how do I fix this. Also when playing multi-player then can we see each other in game...like if we where playing the downtown map, and we bouth went to the police station...? Any help would be great, thanks guys.

[Sektor]

You don't need to forward ports for hamachi but you do need to allow it through your firewalls.

OddJoe69, can you please post the full error message or a screenshot of it?

If the other player is on your screen then you can see them in multiplayer and depending on the game mode and there are usually arrows pointing at each of the players, so you can find them.

Sorry I am asking always the same, but I still cannot play GTA2 online.

You posted that I don't need to forward ports if I play through Hamachi but I have to allow something on my firewall.


Could you please write here the "ALL STEPS" from configuring the Hamachi, setting up firewall (which ports to allow) to setting up the Game Hunter?
If even after your steps I won't be able to play GTA2 online I promise (lol) I won't be asking again and again and again to this same topic.

Thanks.

[Sektor]

If you are using a firewall, you need to permit GTA2 to listen on ports 47624 and 2300-2400. Firewalls can be a bitch and sometimes you need to add the hamachi or real IP address of the all the joiners/hosters to the firewall allow list. Add me to MSN or google chat and I'll see if you can join a hamachi hosted game.
