How to host a game on gameranger?

[Eaglesaworb]

I press start with and nothing happens, my game launches but nothing else

ok so from the beginning - Host in GRanger / select game and set max players / add description / Granger game lobby loads after the advertisement / after u have enough players goto START / Granger automatically takes u to the MoWAS lobby where u select maps et al. You might have to wait 30-60secs for all other players to load.

Some times the game doesnt start or collects all the players, just go back to Granger lobby and try again. Ive done on occasion 3or4 times - thankfull this doesnt happen all the time.

Hi everyone,

There are hundreds of people playing this game on GameRanger. Join our community that is growing every day!

Please note that there is a problem when trying to play the "Steam" version of this game with GameRanger. When the game starts in a GameRanger room, the player will get to the LAN room but does not see the host or any other player. There is a solution to this issue which involves taking the "Men of War Assault Squad" game folder out of the “steamapps” folder on your hard drive.

On your hard drive, look for the game’s folder. It should be inside the “steamapps” folder. Move the entire “Men of War Assault Squad” folder out and put it on your Desktop. Do not copy and paste anything! Make sure your computer does not start copying anything if you are dragging and dropping.

Once you have taken out the folder, tell GameRanger the new file path to open the game (the .exe that opens the game). To do that in GameRanger from the main window, go to “Edit” from menu bar, then go to “Options” (or you can save some time and use Ctrl + E to get the “Options” window). Next, click on “Games”, click on Men of War Assault Squad, and then click the “Browse” button, then find the .exe (the icon you double-click to open the game itself, usually located as a shortcut on your Desktop), and then you should be done.

Under “Location”, you should get a file path similar to this (depending on your game edition; please note that the filepath should not contain "steam" or "steamapps" anywhere):

C:\Program Files (x86)\1C Company\Men of War. Assault Squad. Game Of The Year\mow_assault_squad.exe

After all that, test it out on GameRanger. One more thing, make sure your game version is up to date (2.05.15). It should be already updated to the latest version though, since Steam updates the game automatically. Since this game is “old”, there will be no more updates from the publisher in the future, so you do not have to put this game back in Steam ever again.

Best of luck to you!
