Technologies are constantly moving forward and opening up a lot of new possibilities, but there are always those who prefer the ageless classics. Many gamers still love Warcraft 3, which is easy to play through Garena Lan. But since 2018, it will not be possible to connect to the game, an error with code 2741 “Connection failed in Garena” appears all the time. Looking ahead, it is possible to fix the failure. This guide shows you how to do this.
When is Error 2741 displayed?
If you try to enter Garena in 2019, a notification will appear “Garena + officially replaced by new Garena”. After upgrading to the current version, an additional message will be displayed prompting you to upgrade.
But after the update, you will not be able to enter the familiar version of Garena. The authorization process continues all the time, which does not complete successfully, and the error “[Error 2741] The connection failed. “
How do I fix a crash in Garena?
The first thing that comes to mind is to download the new version of Garena. But there is no benefit from such an action, since it excludes support for Warcraft 3. Thus, you need to find the version of Garena that allows you to run your favorite game. It is worth going to the page Garena, a message is displayed here stating that from 2.10.2017 a separate client must be used to use network games. It was taken out to Lan Games’ own application, which is available after the notice closes. Upon completion of installation and authorization, a window is displayed for specifying the login data for Garena.
Another error “Auth in Main Server”
Even if everything was done correctly, after authorization, an additional error may appear – “Infinite authentication on the main server”. The failure is not displayed for everyone, but quite a few users have complaints about it.
The cause of the problem is a third-party tool blocking the connection on the PC. A firewall, antivirus software, and more can interfere with the connection. VPN applications, LAN emulators like Tunngle, Hamachi and others often cause this kind of failure.
How to solve the problem with authorization:
- Right-click on the Internet connection icon and select “Network and Sharing Center”.
- Go to the “Change adapter settings” tab.
- Disable network connections of the same Tunngle, Hamachi and similar applications.
Important! Most of the time, applications will automatically re-establish connections to the network. To prohibit their connection, it is worth opening the “Task Manager” via Ctrl + Alt + Del and “End task” (from the menu via RMB) on the “Processes” tab. Now you should disconnect the established connections again. Most likely this time the error will not appear.
It is also recommended to turn off the built-in firewall, additional antiviruses, as well as proxies and VPN services that can interfere with network connections. If there are no connection blockers, Garena should start without error. In the current version, there are only 4 rooms in the program interface, 2 of them are dedicated to Warcraft 3.
All difficulties with Garena are a consequence of the termination of support for the program from the developers. However, this does not mean that the application cannot be used today. Currently, only Garena 1.26a is working. Other modifications either do not start or do not display other people in the room. A suitable version can be downloaded from the website iCCup or Torrent Igruha…
