I'm confused, why would you need Hamachi for UT3, does the regular internet play have some problems?

It's most likely because he doesn't actually OWN the game. Hamachi is just one way all the people who don't own the games play with each other. Because it emulates a LAN.

Actually that's not the case. The OP was playing with us on Keys UT3 server, so obviously he has a legit key, but the problem there was the lack of an admin due to UT3 being a PITA to set up over regular internet.

The reason Hamachi would be better is due to it being much easier to set up a server on and actually allows an admin to login, without which changing gametypes is impossible.

Obviously if we can figure out how to use admin commands on a regular server there would be no need for this.

So the internet play has some issues with RCON / remote admin functions on a dedicated server? Hmmm bummer, thanks though.
