First thing you need is Steam or EA app. Then you need to make an account on either of them. After you’re done making an account you go to the store and purchase the game. When you’re done doing that you go your library in either and hit install.
The very last thing you need is installing GameRanger or Radmin. GameRanger is a quick way to find games online all over the world whilst Radmin is a VPN that connects you to other players via creating rooms or connecting to existing ones. All you have to do is search GameRanger on google, click on the website and start the download. You do the same by googling Radmin VPN, go to their website and hit download. After installing GameRanger you’ll have make an account and then you can start playing your games.
In the meantime you can go to this website https://legi.cc/downloads/genpatcher/ in order to install GenPatcher which is an easy and quick way to get the game working. GenPatcher is an important program to run in order to fully play the game. It’s got some nice features like a new Pro Control Bar or World Builder for making your very own maps. All you have to do is click apply fixes when it opens up, go to additional content and install the Control Bar if you want it, to then go to Playing Online and hit Launch game in a window when playing via GameRanger.
One of the most important tools you’ll need in order to play competitively is GenTool. It’s an AntiCheat program to make sure that players are not cheating when playing. You can install it via GenPatcher by going to Additional Content, click GenTool and hit install. Also, if you want it to stop crashing when tabbing out turn on Borderless (fullscreen) window mode.
