If you are not finding the game being hosted by your friend, then your, or hosts Stronghold Crusader game is being blocked by firewall, so you should unblock it.Īlso, I believe it would be the best for host to be the one with best internet connection - I don't know exactly how it works.
Play stronghold crusader 1 without directplay full version#
This is what you should do (and your friends which you would like to play with): It is possible to play Crusader without GameRanger using with Internet TCP/IP Connection for DirectPlay (no application needed - it all works directly from the game), although this way it will be harder for you to find some opponents. If you are facing any problems with GameRanger, this is how you can play Stronghold Crusader in multiplayer with no such multiplayer client.
