Need help with starting up gameranger for RA2
« on: February 01, 2014, 04:34:46 PM »
Ok, well to be on a tangent at the very start.

Dear god, I was obnoxious.

Now back to the topic, I have returned after gaining interest in RA2 again and this time around I'm going to be more involved in the game. I have some edited AI bots to show off in the Bot Showcase, but I want to see if I can set up multiplayer with gameranger first. Just a simple step-by-step tutorial would be nice, because all I can sya that I'm having trouble with is that it asks me to install the web flash player when I already have it installed (google chrome)
But yeah. Nice to be back c:

When you download the most recent copy of GameRanger from here, it gives a step-by-step tutorial of how to install and run it. You can skip step 4, though (at least, for now). I'd write up another step-by-step but there's pretty much covers everything except adding RA2 to the list. I'm not in a very good position to explain that ATM so I'll let somebody else explain that when you get to it.

As far as Flash goes, have you tried updating it?
1. Go into Control Panel.
2. Enter Flash Player into the search box and click the top result.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Click the Check Now button (before this, you may want to consider clicking the Change Update Settings button and enable "Allow Adobe to install updates (recommended)").
5. This should lead you to a webpage about the current version of Flash and give you the option of updating (if applicable). Mine is up-to-date so I'm not sure exactly how it would handle an out-of-date computer.

Alright thanks. But for some reason no matter what I do the Update options are unaccesible, as in it's pale. Any boxes I should check or uncheck before this that I may have missed?
