Click Single player, and type in a username and password. If you have issues with this, see my quick mini tutorial below:Ģ) Extract it into your 圆4 folder in your main Planetary Annihilation folder.ģ) Start the game. In order to fix this, you want to change your username. Note: If two players have the same username, when you join a game, it will disconnect the host from the client, and the client becomes the new host. When you host, make sure the visibility is set to public to other gamers can find you. This only applies for 圆4 bit machines.ģ) Go to multiplayer, host a game or join someone elses game. So how do you do LAN? It’s pretty simple:Ģ) Under the game settings, turn on the local server. In the latest update, it does have LAN! Yes! So I’m a big fan of total annihilation and supreme commander, so it was up my alley when I heard Planetary Annihilation was going to have LAN.
Any person who logins afterwards will be just clients, and they will need for the host to invite them to play.įor more details and to get the files, see the video tutorial and the forum link below. The person who logins first will have a set of stars around the Username which resembles this is the host. When you login, the username is without quotes, and the password is “gg” without quotes. From the GUI, you can host a server, or join a game that is either your friends/own server or an existing lobby on a dedicated server. Extract the map cache contents into the root of your Starfriend folder. Extract Starfriend anywhere on your computer. If you do this method, make sure you login to the game once, and then log out back to the Desktop. You can login to the service, and download a free copy of the Starcraft 2 Starter Edition. The main forum tutorial link will be at the bottom of this post as well. I recently did a video tutorial on this topic, and I will summarize high level what is involved to get Starfriend to work with your copy of Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm. If you are not familiar with Starfriend, it is an emulator that originally came out for Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty that will allow you to play the game online via dedicated servers outside of Blizzard, or even let you play on your own hosted server online or through LAN!įor those that don’t know, the game does not support LAN so of course this is a major breakthrough! 
With the third game coming out this Winter, I thought it be fun to get back into Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm and investigate the Starfriend method for the game.
