Multiplayer on cracked "games for windows live"
So, you want to play a game (pirate copied) with you friend and the game sadly is using Windows Live?
Well, there is a solution.
You will need these components.
Hamachi (download)
TeknoHelper (download) (alt. direct download)
In this guide we will be referring to the game "Warhammer 40k - Dawn of War II". But the TeknoHelper program works on a number of games using the games for windows live application. For more information about that head over to TeknoGods.com.
I am not going to tell you how to set up Hamachi. You probably already know this.(If you want a guide telling you how to use Hamachi please tell us and we will provide.)
So, you install Warhammer 40k - Dawn of War II and crack it. Unpack the TeknoGods files to any folder you want. Run the teknohelper.exe file. You will see four steps, the first beeing about VPN filter. This should already be green if you have Hamachi running. Second step is about setting the adapter key. Choose your Hamachi network interface in the list above that and press the button "Set Adapterkey". Then you could just press "Start Injection" from the fourth section.
Directly after that you start up your game. Very quickly you should hear a beeping noise. This is from the teknohelper application telling you that it has found the game. And about 30 seconds after that you should hear the same noise again. This is now telling you that it should be possible to play over your Hamachi LAN. Now is when you start a custom Local Area Network game and have some fun.
It could take up to a full minute for a hosted game to appear in the lobby. So be patient.
Note! In the readme for TeknoHelper is says this:
For all other games except Dawn of War II:
In the lobby before joining a game press F12 and once joined press again to prevent the game from crashing.
You will hear "Working" when it patches and "Transfer Complete" when you repatch.
The readme also says that pressing the "home" button on your keyboard will cause the game to crash. This is understandable because that button in this case would have opened the "windows live games" menu.
