Dead Space 3: Failed to join game while joining through hamachi

Hi i am having a problem with joining the Dead Space 3 Co-op campaign lobbies as me and my friend wants to play it together, we tried all the solutions we could find and we got to where we can see me joining in the lobby, but after a while it just says failed to join  

  • Ensure that both you and your friend have an Open NAT type. A Strict NAT type can cause connectivity issues. Some players have resolved the issue by using a VPN service. Download a VPN, turn it on, and disable the firewall within the VPN app before starting Dead Space 3. Create a Public co-op session instead of a Private one, and have your friend join through the “Browse Friends Games” option in the co-op menu. Change the default Origin generated ID/Nickname to something shorter and re-add your friend. Make sure applications like Steam and Origin are completely closed down before starting the game with a VPN.                                                                                                                                     Fidelity NetBenefits

    Let us know if this helps! VPNs can be tricky with support because they don't belong to EA, so most issues around a VPN are very limited.
