Ive read that AOE II HD wont allow hosting LAN games without first having an Internet connection. So whats the best way to go about this Ive read through other threads, but cant seem to find a straight answer. Age Of Empires 2 Hd Lan Download A CrackedCan this be done with legit copies or would it be easier to download a cracked version As for the actual connection - Im thinking of just bringing an ethernet cable to plug directly into each laptop - will that work 22 comments share save hide report 72 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best level 1 6 points 3 years ago With absolutely no internet Cant be done. You need an internet connection until you launch the game and then a LAN connection will work. You will need one configured for crossover which can be done by changing the wire placement if you have the tools. You will also have to configure the network manually to match on both computers. Ive seen tutorials on applying dodgy patches to get the game working on LAN. I guess Im hoping someone whos had experience with this to chime in with the best solution. I guess I will need to look into setting up an adhoc wifi connection between the laptops Andor look into software such as Hamachi to get the LAN working.

See and level 1 3 points 3 years ago edited 3 years ago You cant play the steam version directly, but you can use a compatibility patch to play the CD version with the steam installation. You can then start the game by going into the Age2HDage2x1 folder and clicking on age2x1.exe. You can connect your laptops either with a wi-fi ad hoc network or a lan crossover cable (make sure its a crossover cable, a normal lan cable wont work). Then you can connect and start a game with the in-game direct IP feature. You can play on LAN without having the internet connection at all. You dont even need an ethernet cable, most laptops can generate a lan wireless hotspot with some cmd commands. If youre both connected to the same internet connection, then it bypasses going out into the actual internet and just has your computers talk to each other. Without an internet connection to speak of, theres no network to use, no matter how local the area. ![]() All rights reserved Back to top.
