Aoe 3 lan mac pc

In this Article: Lack of direct LAN local area network play is one of the reasons why many of the fans of the classic Age of Empires 2 are quick to dismiss the HD remake [1] of the game. A LAN game is a game played by players whose computers are connected together by a local network, allowing them to avoid having to use the often slow online multiplayer servers.

To play this with anyone, you have to be online and logged into Steam. Steam can allegedly once you have connected through their servers allow users PC's to move network traffic relating to AoE2HD back to your local network if you are playing with someone on the same LAN but this doesn't seem to work for everyone and if you loose connection to the internet, the game will disconnect. There are a few videos online showing how to get around this, by modding the game to allow you to connect games on a LAN without a connection to the internet which is the true interpretation of 'LAN' game.
