A local area network provides many benefits to users. With it, you can quickly exchange data, download a huge number of files without traffic restrictions. But the most attractive thing about such a network is the ability to play together. Most modern games support multiplayer mode. It remains only to recruit players and, after performing a few simple manipulations, play over the network.
Necessary
- 1) Local network
- 2) The game supports multiplayer mode
Instructions
Step 1
For LAN play, there are two options. The first option is to create a server by the player himself. After creating such a server, other players will be able to connect to it. The created game will remain online until the creator disconnects from it. The second option would be to connect to an existing game. Many local area networks have servers that run around the clock. Therefore, failures are extremely rare.
Step 2
To create a game, you need to launch the application of interest. After that select the multiplayer mode. We get to the game creation menu. Choose the map on which the game will take place. Set parameters for time, race and others. The settings are individual for each game. Then click create server. The game will load and will wait for other players to connect. Some applications will not create a game until the required number of players are connected. There is a special chat for communication between them.
Step 3
To connect to an existing game, you need to select the already familiar multiplayer menu. Now, instead of the item "create a game" select "connect to the game." After that, you will be taken to the list of existing online games. Select the game you want and click "connect". After a short download, you will be taken to the game world.
