Any user will confirm that playing computer games with a real person is much more interesting than with a computer: there will be no memorized moves, strict logic and no mistakes. A live player has his own emotions, you can communicate with him during the game. However, setting up a game over a network is not easy.
Necessary
the Internet
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure your game is network capable. Go to the game website and find the description according to the product version. If your game is absolutely not designed for online play, then nothing can help. If the online game is in a different version, download and install a different version of the game. Install the same version of the game on other players' computers. As a rule, the box from the game will always say whether it supports local play with other players on the Internet and over the network, or not.
Step 2
Set up your local network. Make sure computers can ping each other easily. Without a working network, it makes no sense to start setting up the game. Find instructions on how to configure the game online. If a network game requires a server (virtual or real), install the server according to the instructions. Some games just need to specify the main server, and other computers on the network - tell its ip-address.
Step 3
Create an online game and try to start playing. Don't be discouraged if the game won't launch over the network. Study the Internet - for sure, you are not the only one to have such problems, and a solution has long been found. To implement a network game, you need a connected cable to both computers, as well as IP addresses registered on both personal computers. All this is done in Network Neighborhood.
Step 4
Any network game can be configured to work on a local network. Do not use problematic network equipment that you are not sure about. It is difficult to identify and then resolve problems arising from the incorrect operation of any network resource. It is also worth noting that many games do not allow you to connect to a multiplayer game due to pirated recordings, as it is unreliable.
