Created by Scott Kevill and opened to Mac gaming in 1999. GameRanger offers features like profiles, friends lists, instant messaging, in-game voice communication, and competitive ladders/rankings/ratings.
If you are not finding the game being hosted by your friend, then your, or hosts Stronghold Crusader game is being blocked by firewall, so you should unblock it.Īlso, I believe it would be the best for host to be the one with best internet connection - I don't know exactly how it works. GameRanger is a free download for Mac and PC that lets you play over 600 games and demos online with friends and opponents worldwide. Frequently you have to reboot your router for the changes to take effect. Put the TCP and UDP ports for your game in the matching boxes in your router. Put the IP address of your computer or gaming console in the correct box in your router. Locate your routers port forwarding section.
It is possible to play Crusader without GameRanger using with Internet TCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay (no application needed - it all works directly from the game), although this way it will be harder for you to find some opponents. If you are facing any problems with GameRanger, this is how you can play Stronghold Crusader in multiplayer with no such multiplayer client.
