Amazing! dude… u need more publicity!
It’s only lan not online.
@tipit10 MS suck for not making DirectX license free and 100% open source and the developers you so dearly love suck for not making games for Mac OS. Apple isn’t to blame for anything and the machines are perfectly capable of running games like this.
Btw, do you know much about Xbox 360 game hosting… I know it automaticly picks a host for all games (that I know of) on Xbox 360 but what is it determined on…
Example: I have 6mb and my friend has 2mb … mw2 always picks the one with the ‘least’ amount of mb for some fail reason, and everytime it picks him he get’s kicked from the game so why doesn’t it just pick me and stop kicking everyone with a crappy connection?
doesnt work
says starting game then aborting game
Yeah this isn’t working for me at all. V 1.0, try to join games, nothing really happens, it just asks me to host a lan game called GameRanger and that’s it. (here too) need solution guys…is its version eror…
you can click continue and to me it only says unable to connect to some players but i dont care cuz im just playing with my brother and probably some other friend too.
Nice program ill give it a try!
Does NOT work when you’re behind NAT (so basically when you are using router). It even show warning at host try that “you are beind symetric nat router, you are unlikely to connect to other players”.
@MrChance333 macs sucks
@MrChance333 yes
does the program work for macs?
really great!! worked like a charm for me…thx a bunch!
cataclysm poster ownz!!!!! oh and ty for the help
THX YOU I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah this isn’t working for me at all. V 1.0, try to join games, nothing really happens, it just asks me to host a lan game called GameRanger and that’s it.
and we are not using password protected sharing. Hmm what else more to tell..
With my brother at our home, we did not do just anything to get lan work. Clean instal, updates, both had same version, hosted lan game and it shows up. He’s having Vista64, while I’m on W7-64.
Our windows firewall is shutten down, using only one firewall (F-Secure Internet Security 2008) which is correctly configued and allowed and using D-Link router behind a DSL modem. Lan network is working correctly at windows, our computer shows up etc. Printer and file sharing is enabled.
Gameranger tells me that I am behind something and that I need to port forward. From my experience with this, if you have a Dynamic Based IP address from your ISP, this may not work. If you have a Static Based IP from your ISP then it probably will work, but if you have a Static IP and you don’t mind port forwarding, I recommend you do so. But that is just me.
THANK YOU!!!!
Need to join the game before it starts and have game ranger start Borderlands for you.
sorry this didn’t work for me when I try yo host it says my server is behind something and I need to portforward?
wow so much extra info. get to the fn point!
I’m a bit confused… How exactly do I join a game or someone join mine that I’m hosting.
We’ve looked in the LAN and the Online (Could not Connect). Please help D:
when me and my friend are both in the gameranger lobby and i press start the game loads up and i am in the lobby but my friend isn’t. can anyone help plz?
