ENT Connect
Posted: Mon May 13, 2013 4:03 am
We highly recommend all players to use ENT Connect because it makes joining games easier and also reduces the chance of disconnection. Additionally, if you have an unstable connection to our host bots in Atlanta, you can try enabling the "Proxy setting" from the ENT Connect tab (select Chicago Proxy and then hit Update Preferences).
Usage: to use ENT Connect, go to the ENT Connect tab. If a window pops up asking permission, select "Always trust content from this publisher" and then select Run. You can also try selecting the Chicago Proxy from the proxy settings bar to see if it improves your connection to the game.
Joining games is easier: to join a game with ENT Connect, all you have to do is find your favorite game on the gamelist and then click the grey E next to the game (in the Connect column). Once the applet opens and turns green, start Warcraft, click on Local Area Network, and then join the game (it should be the first entry in the list).
Reduces chance of disconnection: ENT Connect gives you GProxy++ support, meaning that you can reconnect to games if your Internet connection briefly disconnects.
Hosting games: It's also now possible to host games on our public hosting system using the website. To do this, go to the ENT Link tab and select "Host a game". Once the game is hosted, head to the gamelist, find the game, and then click the grey E (note that it may take several seconds for the game to be hosted). (If you're hosting DotA, then select "DotA with referees" from the list of maps.)
