Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds Forum

I'm using Crossover 11.0.3, and Galactic Battlegrounds works fine except for multiplayer. I can't create a game and when I try to find a game it crashes. It doesn't even give the option to play LAN, only TCP/IP. I realize that this may be a Wine issue, but has anyone found a workaround?

Since Microsoft Zone is discontinued, the online will not work. The LAN should work, but i don't see an option on mine too, I'll take a better look at it.

Thank you, koso. I really appreciate it!

I realize that Microsoft Zone is down, but my brother is playing on a Windows computer and he can load the multiplayer game setup menu, whereas mine crashes just by clicking host game. I guess it doesn't matter since online multiplayer won't work anyway. Hopefully we can get LAN running.

My brother saw my post and sent me this email:

Microsoft zone was the matchmaking server that found people
to play with. You still can do internet multiplayer if you know the
IP address of the host whose game you want to join. We did it all
the time, remember?

Unfortunately, the crashing issue prevents us from playing this way. I thought that using GameRanger might be a good workaround but the program won't install.

I followed the multiplayer fix for Age of Empires II on WineHQ (replace some DLLs and add overrides). LAN is now an option and it no longer crashes when you click show games for TCP/IP. However, we haven't managed to get it to work under... the game is found but can't be joined. It is not a firewall issue.

I could create multiplayer games for a while but that has stopped working, too. I'm not sure what else can be done.
