Basically, GameRanger makes it quick and easy to play your friends online.

It has full lobby support for over 500 different games and demos (including EAW, of course), without the hassles and headaches that usually happen with network connections (eg. routers & firewalls).

I'm really excited to be releasing it, and hope it helps boost the EAW community by allowing people to play that were unable to until now due to problems with opening ports, etc.

You can download it at www.GameRanger.com

This is Bs|Mwerte from www.blacksquadron.net/forums.  We play many online games but I represent the EaW division.  I saw that you guys had one of your own and that there were people still active in it. Would anyone be interested in a friendly Clan Match?  I will watch this forum and ours if you are willing to negotiate a time and map.  You can also reach me through email, mine is somehowsomeone@gmail.com. 

Thanks and best of luck to you.

Lets get a bit more connected in here so we can play some EAW together online or something?

If it's okay with you lets start with handing out nicknames and Xfire aliases. Would be great if ye ask me.

Empireatwar.net has launched a brand new 1v1 campaign ladder. Users can still play on gamespy but instead of playing using the 'Quick Match' mode, which throws up random settings, players can play a normal custom match, using the settings that both players agree on.

Once the game has ended, the LOSER visits the ladder site and reports the loss. Its that simple and easy!

Sign up today and start playing the campaign match YOU want to play

Today we are proud to annouce that we have just started Star Wars: Empire at War ladders at Europes major online-gaming league, the Electronic Sports League (ESL). Sadly the current leagues are one available to residents of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. I don't know and can't tell when or if we will start international leagues for this game but perhaps some other national leagues will open soon. Be sure to check out your country at the Electronic Sports League main page.

• Electronic Sports League
  
• German Empire at War Section

Multiplayer gameplay in Star Wars: Empire at War requires UPnP functionality to be enabled in Windows and in your hardware firewall (if you are using one).  This is a two step process.  (Note: If you do not have a router then you may ignore step two and you should not have any issues joining and playing internet multiplayer games.)  By default, Windows XP has UPnP functionality turned off.  Enabling UPnP in windows is simple and can be accomplished by following these instructions.

(Note: These instructions were taken from the Windows Help and Support

Center)

 

 

Step 1:

 

To install the UPnP User Interface

 

1. Open Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.

 

2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.

 

3. In the Components list, select the Networking Services check box, and then click Details.

 

4. Make sure the UPnP User Interface check box is selected.

 

 

Notes

 

- To open Add or Remove Programs, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add or Remove Programs.

 

- If you used a CD to set up Windows, you will be prompted to insert it into your computer

 

 

 

Step 2:

 

The process of enabling UPnP on your router will vary depending on the router brand and model that you have.  If you are unfamiliar with router configuration, you can learn more about enabling UPnP for your specific model at your router manufacturers' website.

 

 

 

Common manufacture websites:

 

www.linksys.com

 

www.cisco.com

 

www.netgear.com

 

www.dlink.com

 

www.buffalotech.com

 

I hope it helps.

The tournament goes by the rule winners of match and 2 fight each other. Same with other matches. The other threads are removed, this is offical one. This will be Galatic Conquest unless 2/3rds of the people disargree. There will be mod allowing the same factons to fight. You are not forced to be the same faction.

The Prize is a Tshirt with the Petro Logo

Any chance the mods can make this a sticky or make a new thread with them and lock this one?

After having released its own preview, EAW-FR is working on an article to show you all game planets. As it's a huge article with around 150 screenshots, it's a little long to make ... As there won't lots of text, Article will be released both in English and French

To make you wait and to respond requests from people from PFF I put 9 new screenshots on EAW-FR. You'll be able to find screenshots of multiplayers lobbies , Manaan from space, Ennemy IA in activity during Galactic Conquest (with more than 5 AI troop moves at the same time )

And just click on screenshots with the date " 05/02/2006 " (In France we put the day before the month when we write a date
