This is simply retarded. I introduced my 13 year old brother to System Shock 2 and he enjoyed the coop so much that we played for 4 hours straight. Then we took an hour break and came back. I hosted the game and he'd join and we'd load one of the saves - the game will freeze for my brother when trying to join. We tried 4 different saves and no matter what, they all freeze my brother's game when we try to play.
So I looked around the internet and found things like SS2Tool. I applied SS2Tool to both of our games. Now the game will fully load when I host, but my brother's game will crash during the load (as opposed to freezing). We tried to start a new game and everything works fine up until we meet up in the ship. At that point my game says "Waiting for players to join", even though my brother is in the game, and can roam around freely.
We did a clean reinstall on both systems, applied SS2Tool, and tried again. Same results. We then tried to use Hamachi. Same results. Nothing works now. Can't start a new game or load an old one. We're playing over a wireless LAN. Can anyone offer suggestions or help?

Another first-time SS2 experience ruined by co-op. Good jorb.

I'd rather share the first-time experience. ;)

So you're both on the same wireless LAN?
If so, get rid of the hamachi crap and make sure you both have no local software firewalls running. Should be a no-brainer at that point.
