Perth, Western Australia — May 21, 2009 — Last month GameRanger, the 
PC multiplayer online gaming service, was officially recommended as a 
solution for the game, Demigod. Now GameRanger asks users which 
multiplayer games should be supported next.

The launch of Stardock’s multiplayer-centric game Demigod suffered 
major scaling and connectivity issues. GameRanger quickly responded 
with networking support for Demigod, giving Stardock some breathing 
room to work on the issues. Stardock president, Brad Wardell, said: “I 
have fallen in love with a new program called GameRanger.”

GameRanger already provides online support for over 500 games, but 
there are many more that still suffer from the network problems that 
GameRanger solves. Survey questions aiming to address this will be 
presented to users when they next log in to the service.

“If people are having connection issues, or merely just wanting an 
easier way to meet up and play friends, here’s their chance to speak 
up about which games matter the most to them,” said Scott Kevill, 
president of GameRanger Technologies.

Network connectivity has long been an issue with multiplayer games, 
especially strategy games, and has worsened over the years with more 
widespread use of routers and firewalls in the home. These are complex 
challenges that have been tackled with only limited success by game 
developers and other multiplayer middleware providers.

Chris Latour, BattleGoat Studios game designer, said: “GameRanger has 
provided us with far more connectivity than we originally had for 
Supreme Ruler 2010 and 2020.”

GameRanger takes the pressure off game developers by eliminating the 
network connection problems and their associated tech support 
nightmares, so they can focus their energy on making great games.

GameRanger runs on Windows XP or later, and is available as a free 
download from http://www.GameRanger.com
