Does Gameranger on Linux work for any multiplayer game?
I tried playing Battle for Middle Earth online with Gameranger through Wine, and when I host or join a game BFME will start up, but when I go to the Network lobby my game just freezes. I'm trying to figure out if Gameranger works for any Linux game, or if this is just one game in particular that has this problem.
Author technical edit (1 year later) - This particular issue might root in how the engine for BFME and C&C only look for LAN in the first network device you have. Network device order is handled quite a bit differently between Windows and Linux, which could explain why this is tricky. Source
Update: I've since tried this with
wine-5.4wine-5.18 (Staging)wine 6.9
No luck. Maybe in the future?

If you have a connection issue with GameRanger, please check your router's settings to see if the correct port is open; port 16000 should be open.
