Capitalism 2 Multiplayer Game Setup Guide

Capitalism 2 multiplayer games require GameRanger for connection. Here are 5 easy steps to get it set up and running:

Step 1 - Install GameRanger

Download and install GameRanger from www.gameranger.com

GameRanger is a free download application that lets you play over 600 games and demos online with friends and opponents worldwide and Capitalism 2 is one of the supported games.

If it is your first time using GameRanger, you will need to create a new GameRanger account. Simply run GameRanger and follow the instructions to set up a new account.


Step 2 - Set Up Capitalism 2 In GameRanger

Run GameRanger, select Edit and then Options from the menu to open the Options window, as shown below. 


Step 3 - Set The Location Of Game EXE

For some reason, Game Ranger cannot recognize Capitalism 2 if it is under the Steam main folder.

The solution is to copy the game from its folder under the Steam main folder to another folder (e.g. d:\Capitalism 2 or whatever folder you prefer.)

To do so, first locate the game folder. You may right-click on Capitalism 2 on your Steam game list to open the Properties menu, then select "Browse local files"


After copying the game folder to a new destination, link that folder to GameRanger's Capitalism 2 profile. The following are the instructions for doing so.

On the Options window, select “Capitalism 2” from the game list, as shown below.

GameRanger needs to know where your copy of Capitalism 2 is located on your harddisk in order to run it.

Click on the [Browse…] button as shown above and select the location of Capitalism 2’s executive file Cap2.EXE.

Step 4 - Set The Game List

Select My Games as shown below, to order GameRanger to show only games that you have installed on your harddisk.

Step 5 - Playing With Your Friend

Suppose that your friend has also installed GameRanger and is ready to play a multiplayer game of Capitalism 2 with you, and you are the one who is going to host the game, then you can click the Host button as shown below.

Now select Capitalism 2 from the Game field and click OK when you are done.


Once you have set up hosting the game, your friend will see your game on his/her GameRanger, like what the following screen shows.

Your friend can simply double-click on the game to join. Once this is done, GameRanger will launch Capitalism 2 and it is set to start a new multiplayer game.
