Rocky Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 So I think Gamespy servers closed yesterday? I loaded up GRAW2 on steam and there were a few servers online and I joined them as I normally would have. I loaded a custom map and launched my own server so I could play some custom missions on my own. So it looks like if you are playing the steam version of GRAW2, everything is as normal? What about if you are playing the retail disk version though? I don't have that installed, but I seem to think there is a gamespy login screen to get passed before you can play any GRAW2, so how is that working now? Anyone tried?

JohnTC02 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Gamespy is still working here on my retail disk version, there are a few servers up an running with a few pkayers online. Even when it does close you should be able to play offline using a LAN server. Gamespy was due to close May 31st, not sure why it's still working.

mexicobob Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Our TAW servers are gone for now since we let the contract end with the supposed shutdown of GameSpy. Our LAN Virtual Dedicated Server is up and running just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhickam Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Ghost Recon multi-player is still alive and well. For you GRAW2 multiplayer fans, you can still play online using a VPN. There are some free VPN’s available that are easy to use. Hamachi always worked, but isn’t free anymore. The one free solution that is working right now is GameRanger: http://www.gameranger.com/ It also works on many of the other games that were dropped. They were very fast at getting them online and strive to add many more. Another solution is Tunngle: http://www.tunngle.com/ Tunngle is working on the GRAW2 solution, and has many of the other multi-player online games working now. If you know of any other solutions please share so everyone can enjoy the games they paid for, or not. R+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowlandernam Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) GameRanger does'nt work very relaible at all. There is something wrong with the code in there. If I host a (LAN) server nobody can see it in the server list. Tried it multiple times, saw peeps come in the "room" tried to connect and leave. Tried all possible settings, including no firewall / virusscanner / DMZ (exposed host) to my LAN. This is weird because I hosted a dedicated GRAW2 server for years...... Connecting to a few other hosted servers is most of the time a pain in the a**. If it works, its always a login / logout / kill game / reconnect / login / logout & in again to get a server visible in the server list. I never could connect to a server in one go...... Also tried the Hamachi option, never could get it to work. I share Rhickam call for other solutions, but a little more detailed then "it works with xxxxxx" or "I can play OK with xxxxxxx". There are quite a few players out there who are NOT as technical as some of you guys. They need a simple short, but simple instruction how to get things to work......

tom1935 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Lowlandernam, I expressed my view on another discussion, I need more detailed information too in order to continue playing multiplayer graw2. So far, no one has provided a simple instruction on accomplishing this. Waiting for this information because I enjoyed playing this game, even tho I am a lot older than most of you and maybe all of you...

rhickam Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Sorry guys, Gameranger is very simple to use, and I didn’t think anyone would have trouble with it. I recommend to remember that Youtube is your friend. Here is a link to using Gameranger: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gameranger It appears to me that Lowlandernam has done the appropriate troubleshooting steps, and I’m not sure where his game is failing. It mostly sounds like a local Firewall or Proxy issue. To extend your familiarity with Gameranger firewall issues, try these videos from youtube to see if there is anything that helps: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=gameranger+firewall+problem I hope this helps to get you going.

snake uk Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hey guys. Game Ranger works fine for me, but I think a lot depends on what kind of internet connection you have. What may help you here is this.. at the top of GameRanger go to EDIT then OPTIONS go to Network and look for connection speed, go t the highest speed in the drop down box. To join or serve you must go about this the correct way or it will not work. If you see me in there, you are welcome to join, under description you will see me as RR SNAKES LAIR UK. Would be nice to see a few new maps also. Good luck guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1935 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Mexicobob......nope, I am 79....glad to see some of us "older" gentlemen still young enough to play these games. I was interview by this web about my age playing against those much younger then me and the interview is still available to read here somewhere...found it once ...

mexicobob Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Additional Info: for post #12 With Hamachi loaded and running, start GRAW2. Select Multiplayer uncheck the Auto Login box Select Lan Only on the right hand side of the screen. Then you should see the TAW server under the Local servers.

tom1935 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I know Rahnman very well, got lots of help from him when first playing graw2 after I started "Cheaters vs non cheaters" thread here. I'll probably give Rahn a try, Hello Rahn, if your reading this....Tom Tom1935 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake uk Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hey guys, Not sure if this is right place to post this,but I see more people are coming back to GRAW 2 which is great. But if there are any map makers reading this what are the chances of a few new maps being made. I think I must have nearly every good co op map made and still playing then with friends, I do get the occasional game crash or freeze but we like to finish the map and not bother about points. Look forward to a reply. RR Snake uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blame Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I don't think anyone is working on Graw2 mods anymore, unless Rocky is hiding some private modders in his private messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
