Setting Up Multiplayer Game Age Of Empires 2 Gameranger

Posted on  by

Age of Empires 2 works perfectly over a LAN. Setting up a LAN unfortunately is a bit complicated and you might need help. If it's just between two comps you dont need a hub, instead a direct network cable will work fine, connected to ehternet ports.

Bold by Destineer has announced the release of a new update to Age of Empires II: Gold Edition. The new update, 1.0.4, is ready for download from Bold’s Web site and corrects a number of issues, including a problem associated with the Restore Saved Multiplayer Game feature.

GameRanger provides hours of entertainment for interactive game players around the world, supporting online multiplayer gameplay for over 175 game titles, with highlights including Age of Empires III, Battlestations: Midway, Civilization IV, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Ghost Recon, Raven Shield, Risk II, and Scrabble. GameRanger is the first. Lack of direct LAN (local area network) play is one of the reasons why many of the fans of the classic Age of Empires 2 are quick to dismiss the HD remake of the game. A LAN game is a game played by players whose computers are connected together by a local network, allowing them to avoid having to use the often slow online multiplayer servers. As soon as you launch Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, click the Multiplayer shield at the top of the home screen. This will take you to the Lobby Browser, where you can join another player’s lobby or create your own. To start a multiplayer lobby: Click Create Lobby. Name your lobby and then set the settings.

Bold by Destineer’s Age of Empires II: Gold Edition is the Macintosh version of the enormously popular strategy game originally developed for the PC by Ensemble Studios. The game puts you in command and control of a medieval civilization that you must help build and expand. Unlike other civilization-building games, Age of Empires II emphasizes combat elements as you raise armies and machines of war.

Players are now able to save a multiplayer game any time and restart it later. If one of the player’s computers in a multiplayer game crashes or disconnects abruptly from the game, the game will now automatically save on another player’s machines that all players can restart where they left off, according to Bold by Destineer.

In addition to the Restore Saved Multiplayer Game issue, several other enhancements have been made:

  • GameRanger launch problem under OSX.
  • Problems with OS9 joining an OSX hosted game.
  • Recent Games list in the Join Game dialog. It was not remembering recent IP addresses.
  • Under OS9, alleviated problems with background applications trying to come to the front. Background applications (like Instant Messenger and Palm Desktop) should not interfere any longer.
  • Hardware cursor is now always used. This eliminates problems with the cursor disappearing after dismissing certain dialogs.
  • The game now deletes its temporary files when the game quits. This should eliminate the problem of temporary files being found in the trash upon restart.

  • “Assertion (bytesToRead>=28) failed” problem during multiplayer games.
  • Crash in certain circumstances when trying to join a game with an invalid IP address.

    • The publisher noted the efforts of Westlake Interactive programmers Mark Krenek and Brad Oliver for tracking down and correcting these problems.
