If you are behind a router/gateway with another computer and you tried playing StarCraft together with other people on Battle.net, you might have noticed that it was really laggy and unplayable. To fix this problem, all you have to do is change the ports for one of the computers on your network. The default port for Battle.net is 6112 and it lags because it can’t handle more than one computer in that port.

So all you have to do is go to your router/gateway’s Port Forward page and set one of your computers to use a port between 6113 and 6119 (UDP, not TCP). After you forward a port for one of your computers, you need to open the Registry Editor for that computer. To do this, click Start, Run, and press enter after you type regedit. In the left side of the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Battle.net\Configuration. Now click Edit > New DWORD Value, and name it Game Data Port. Double click that value that you’ve just created, click Decimal in the Base area, and type the port that you forwarded for your computer in ‘Value data’ (6114 for example), and press OK.

Your computers sharing the same router/gateway should now be able to play on Battle.net with other people with no lag!

This is a very small version of StarCraft Brood War that can be put in your USB drive so you can take StarCraft wherever you go! You can play on Battle.net if you use the CD-Key changer to change the CD-Key to your own. A good place to play this would be at school in the computer lab! You can copy Mini StarCraft to all the computers and play on LAN. 🙂

This is a fun Counter-Strike map with everything in it! Each time a new round starts, you get to run into a room to pick what you want to play with: shotguns, pistols, snipers, knives, machine guns, or grenades.

Play Warcraft III Frozen Throne without a No-CD Crack!

First download this program called Daemon Tools:
DAEMON Tools Lite (8810 downloads)

and download the mini Frozen Throne ISO:
Mini Frozen Throne ISO (9081 downloads)

Install Daemon Tools, set 1 or more Virtual CD-ROM drives, and then Mount the Mini Frozen Throne ISO to a virtual drive that you created.

TA-DA! Now you can play The Frozen Throne with no CD in your CD-ROM drive because it is in your Virtual drive!

Note: This ISO is not a real Frozen Throne CD, thus it can’t be used to install the game. It is used to trick the game to think that the CD is in the CD-ROM drive.
