Host or play, it does the same thing.  BTW I am using the PC version, not Mac.  Where is this Game Ranger profile you speak of?

D:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\GameRanger\GameRanger Prefs, in this folder there is a file called "settings", and if opened with wordpad, nothing is intelligible, except for the game directory pathways.

If you just select the shortcut file, it reverts back to the original exe, (as it does with all games).

Has anyone found a way to play with normal FPS on gameranger??

Gameranger won't allow you to start from the shortcut, it will only recognize the battlefront.exe file.  I even tried renaming the shortcut to "battlefront.exe", but gameranger would have no part of that, it wants the large battlefront.exe file only.  So it looks like we are stuck at 15 fps (or whatever the original online low fps default was).

Gameranger is the most convenient, although tunggle may be the best way to play without the proper server.  I have a 2 computer network connected via crossover cable, and in the past I used Hamatchi (similar to tunngle) and it messed up my network.

Hopefully the servers will be back up soon, or I may have to play start playing some SWBF2 again, haha.  SWBF1 is my favorite though.

Yes that works when you start from the shortcut, but not from gameranger, as it runs the exe itself when starting the game.

Is there any way to unlock the framerate to normal, and/or to play windowed from Gameranger?
