Empire vs. Rebellion 2v2 LAN Party

This is for FOC. FYI: some of the information listed here on getting it to work may or may not work for the standard EAW game.

UPDATE: GAMESPY SERVERS HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN. In order to play this online buy the Steam version, or use gameranger if you’re a turd on a disk or torrent 💩

DISK and TORRENTED games:

For those of you wondering how I have gotten this game to work on LAN, there are 2 patches you must download in order for the game to work on all computers. These include a x64 bit patch that works for Windows 7 and possibly Windows 8+10, and a separate game version patch to bring everyone up to the latest version of the game.

If players get version mismatch or cannot see others in the lobby on a healthy network:

***The key is to completely remove the installation of this game from everyone's computer (and restart), then reinstall the same copy of the game on everyone's computer. ABSOLUTELY NO MODS CAN BE DIFFERENT ON ANY PC’s!!! Your chances of a working match are increased if no mods are used at all.

Give them the 2 patches, and assuming they all have Win7, IT WILL WORK. I've had nothing but issues with newer windows OS'. I honestly don't remember whether I used a LAN box or used our internet connection because we tried both, but it worked in the end.***

FYI, I have had trouble getting the disk version, the gold disk version, and the steam version to work together.
