Often, when playing Rome Total War, there is a desire to play it along with your comrades. However, for most novice gamers, playing online is difficult. Therefore, to conduct network battles, you must have several programs and a certain theoretical base.
It is necessary
- - GameSpy Arcade;
- - a copy of Rome Total War;
- - Hamachi.
Instructions
Step 1
To play online in Rome Total War, you need to install the original game. Along with it on the disk must be the GameSpy arcade program, which must also be installed. This utility is designed to connect to the GameSpy server (if this utility is not available, you can download its free version). Check your game version before playing online. To do this, go to its settings and look at the numerical value - 1.0 or 1.5.
Step 2
After that, install patches on the game (if the version of Rome Total War is installed - patch 1.5, if the Barbarian Invasion add-on - patch 1.6). Download them, make sure you and your opponent have the same version. Otherwise, it will be impossible to play. Find the Rome Total War Multiplayer CD Key on the disc box. This is a set of numbers and letters that you need to enter in the game by going to the Online Play or Change GameSpy CD Key menu. Do not lose this key under any circumstances, otherwise the game will have to be bought again.
Step 3
Since the official game server GameSpy does not always work stably, it makes sense for a network game to use the Hamachi program, which will create a virtual local area network between your computer and your opponent's computer. After installing it, create a new network to which your opponent in the game will connect. After that, in Rome Total War, go into local multiplayer mode and start the battle.
