How to Play in GameRanger

In this tutorial, I will show you how to play games with your friends using GameRanger.

First of all, you need to download GameRanger from www.gameranger.com/

To see list of the games supported by GameRanger go to www.gameranger.com/games/

Gameranger can be installed on PC, Mac and Cross-platform.

Now to play, you need to follow some steps:

1.      Run the GameRanger Setup application.

Open the file GameRangerSetup.exe and click Install.

If a message appears asking if you are sure you want to run this file, click Run.

2.      Create a new free account. 

GameRanger will prompt you to create a new GameRanger account or use an existing one, and you will need to enter your valid e-mail address. You should use the address your friends are most likely to know.

3.      Activate your account and log in.

Within minutes you should receive a confirmation e-mail to activate your GameRanger account. If it’s not in your inbox, try looking in your junk folder, and mark it as a trusted-sender, or “not spam.” Adding the sender to your address book is also a good idea.

4.      Invite your friends.

Under the Community menu, there are various options to invite your friends to try GameRanger. You can also search to see if they already have GameRanger accounts.

5.      Host or Join a game.

To join an existing game, select a game room from the list and click Join Game. If the game room has a green dot next to it, then it is already playing. Some games do not allow you to join if they have already started. Alternatively, you can create a new game by clicking Host Game.

How to Play in Garena (Part-2)

In the next window, navigate to where the executable for your game is and click “Open”. Since this particular game was Call of Duty, I navigated to “C:\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 – Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe”.

Ensure that the path to your game executable is correctly inputted in the “Executable Settings” dialog and select “Update”.

 

Finally, select “OK”.

 

Once you are ready to launch the game select “Start Game”. Your game of choice should now launch.

 

Remember Garena emulates a local area network, so ensure that you change your multiplayer settings to “Local” (and not “Internet”).

Hit “Refresh” and a list of servers should start appearing.

Garena has a multitude of other features, so let us know if there are any exciting ways you use Garena. Enjoy!

How to Play in Garena (Part-1)

Launched in 2003, Garena is an online gaming platform which supports a number of “LAN Games” including popular titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Warcraft III: Frozen Throne and Counter-Strike, with new games being added frequently. Garena works by connecting the user to other gamers around the world through a virtual local area network. The connection is also optimized to ensure that the game is “lag” free.

At first Garena can be a little overwhelming, so this guide aims to streamline the process of quickly starting a multiplayer game.

Download the software & install it. After installation you will have to register a new account.

 

After creating your account, choose a server (default Garena Server 1) and click Login. Note: After the first launch Garena may require an update

 

The main Garena page appears extremely busy and can be difficult to navigate. To keep things simple I have outlined the basic method of launching a game.

 

First, click on Game on the right hand side of the screen. This will launch the LAN Game list.

 

Next, select the game you would like to play (for example COD4:MW – Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare).

This will launch the room select screen. Here, you must “Select a Region” you want to play in. Choosing a region close to where you live ensures that your connection is more reliable (I live in Singapore, hence I like playing games in Malaysia). Next, from the middle panel, select a Room you would like to join. Here, I tend to pick a room that has more people. As you can see 1.7 Malaysia Room 01 has 186 persons (out of a maximum 225). Choosing a room with more people ensures that there are actually people for you to play with!

 

Once the room opens you will notice the standard chat box and a large “Start Game” button. Just above the “Start Game” button there is a “Settings” button. Click on this button to configure your game options.

 

The Game Settings window allows you to manage the specific settings for all your games. Here, click on the magnifying glass next to the Executable Settings dialog.
