    [Guide] Playing LAN games anywhere globally.

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 03:37 PM PDT

    We live in the middle east, where ESO servers do not exist, and the nearest server is far away from us. Connecting to ESO or a multiplayer game gives us either

    FAILED TO CONNECT TO ESO SERVERS

    or

    FAILED TO JOIN GAME

     

    We have tried numerous approaches in order to mitigate this issue without any success. Also, If we connect the other party is not able to connect to our game. We have started reading around and trying to find out whats going on, and have tried to disable firewalls and port forwarding to allow ESO to work properly. Its unfortunate that with all those settings it fails to work properly.

    We have discussed using hamachi, but we were never keen on it since it was closed source, and slow. So, we research what viable alternatives could work for us and came up with the following

    • Openvpn (Blocked in our country)
    • Wireguard (Blocked in our country, and throttled)
    • Zerotier (New, interesting approach)

     

    Upon evaluation of the circumstances we have chosen to use ZeroTier as its very interesting, and also open-source. After, spending a week of intensive research, and tests to understand the technology. We have seen promising results; so we have attempted to create a LAN game using this program. Yet, we were confronted with another issue that kept us awake for two days.

    Before reading the problem please take a look at zerotier to familiarize yourself with the program, and the technology

     

    Binding Zerotier with Age of Empires 3 [issue] Age of empires cannot understand which network interface to choose, so it always choose the Ethernet/Wifi Connection over the zerotier network; hence, it doesn't show your private IP assigned by the zerotier network, and not showing your hosted game in your friend's lobby.

     

    This guide assumes you have zerotier installed and running, and nodes (your computers) are connected to each other on the same network

     

    Binding Zerotier with Age of Empires 3 [Solution]

    1. To address this issue in Windows 10, you should press Windows key + X in order to show the quick link menu. Go to Network connections, then navigate to Change adapter options. This should open up the network connections, and show all the current network interfaces.

    2. You'll find an interface that has a name similar to this ZeroTier One [XXXXXXXXXXX]. Right click it, and choose Properties which will open up the settings for this network adapter. You'll want to select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and press the Properties button, then press the Advanced button. There will be a check box with Automatic metric uncheck it and set the Interface metric to 1.

    3. Navigate to your age of empires startup folder. Usually it's similar to this path C:\Users\Current User\Documents\My Games\Age of Empires 3

    4. Open Notepad and save file as user.cfg. Please make sure that it is saved as a configuration file with a *.cfg extension

    5. Copy this exact config OverrideAddress="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" Replace those Xs with your Zerotier IP; save changes and close

    6. Launch Age of Empires 3, and navigate to the LAN lobby, try to host a game; If the IP corresponds to the zerotier IP, then you have successfully configured Age of Empires 3 with zerotier

     

    Note: Make sure that the other party does steps from 1 to 6, and make sure that they have the zerotier address as the IP when they host the game. If both can see their zerotier IPs then one can host, and the other will see the game in the game browser. Also they will be able to connect to the IP directly.

    • If you have followed those steps exactly, you will be able to play together from anywhere around the world.

    AOE 3 on steam compatible multiplayer with original cds?

    Posted: 23 Jul 2020 02:44 PM PDT

    Hi! My partner and I were looking for another game for us to play together, I found this on sale on steam and I remember playing this like every day with my grandfather as a kid, and I own the whole collection on cds (each game separate cds) but I was wondering if we would still be able to do multiplayer together or if I'd have to buy the steam version as well to be able to play multiplayer together? We're asking before figuring out if we both have to get a version or just my partner. Thanks!
