Yes it works
I have created an hamachi net to play ^^
If someone want playing we can create or join in another net to play together

That's correct, just give the IP as one of the arguments. I don't think you need to patch it, and I haven't used ForceBindIP, but the Borderlands Wikia has some info on it (here).

Hi guys ! If i want use “direct Connection” for a non steam Bonderlands game version ?

e.g: if i rename my destination path in this way:

“C:\Program Files\Gearbox Software\Borderlands.exe” {0.0.0.0}
is this correct ?
And the other friend must do same to play or not ? Thanks

P.S: Must I patch it before or not ?
ForceBindIp is useful to play online or not ?

From the Borderlands Wikia:
C:\Games\Borderlands\Binaries\Borderlands.exe 5.171.18.89 -login=foo -password=bar

Except for x.x.x.x you put the ip.

You can forgo the login and password.

Hi,

I don’t understand how you add the ip-address to the shortcut. I added it like you said (i have the non-steam version) and it looked like this
“C:\Program Files\Borderlands\Binaries\Borderlands.exe” x.x.x.x

But when I launch the game, it runs liek it normally does, and I have to select single or multiplayer, but it doesn’t connect to that ip. Am I doing something wrong?

Probably not. You mean for the Borderlands shortcut? That would probably error, or ignore one of them.
What I would do is make multiple shortcuts and name them for different people, so if Bob is hosting, make a new shortcut with Bob’s IP in the target, and have its shortcut name be something like “Borderlands with Bob” and then if John is hosting, do the same, change the target to his IP and make it “Borderlands with John”

Question: can you have more than one IP in the target of the shortcut at a time???

I’m not sure as to how RE5 connects (you probably don’t edit the shortcut) but yes, Hamachi LAN will work for any game. I play AI War all the time on a Hamachi LAN. It creates a persistent connection, not just for Borderlands You can even share files through the LAN if you tell it to.

Hi, I love this way to connect, many thankies for help. I have also one question – is this works in other games? I have similar problem with lobby connection in Resident Evil 5.
