If you visited this page, then most likely you are having problems when trying to play through Garena. There are many common problems that are not that difficult to fix. Let's consider the most relevant of them.
Often there is a situation where it simply does not start or when starting it is impossible to log in with your username and password. Most likely, the problem is due to restrictions in your antivirus or firewall. In this case, login attempts may be accompanied by antivirus messages about suspicious activity on the computer. In this case, you should not immediately reach for the shutdown button. antivirus program. It is best to add Garena to the exclusion list, which will force the antivirus to ignore it, while keeping your computer's protection active. Therefore, just find good instructions on how to add programs to the exceptions of your antivirus or firewall, which will undoubtedly solve the problem.
So, if the game has started, but it is impossible to play because it constantly freezes or the actions that you ordered the units to perform are carried out with a significant delay of several seconds, then you should think about connection problems. This problem has many causes.
Most people still think that the Internet between continents is transmitted via satellites, not to mention knowledge of limited bandwidth and traffic priorities, so it is not strange if you do not understand that when playing online games It is advisable to disable any downloads, especially torrents. Just stop downloading various junk via the Internet while playing and, most likely, the problem will be solved immediately.
If this does not help, then make sure that you are playing with users who are at least on the same continent as you. For this purpose, the garen has rooms that are specially distributed across parts of the world or even countries. Always play in rooms of regions and countries that are close to you. This will reduce the ping - the delay in the exchange of data between you and other players, therefore, will eliminate problems with the delay in the execution of actions by units.
Do not forget that the problem may not only be on your part. It often happens that the above connection problems occur with the host. In this case, we can advise you to try to explain to the host that you shouldn’t download anything while hosting, or just change the host and don’t ruin your nerves and time.
If problems occur suddenly during the game and you want to stay in the game by any means and not leave it, then try to tunnel the host. Often this action solves the problem. If none of the tips helped, then most likely you just have problems with your Internet connection, and these are problems on the part of the provider. In such cases, we can only advise you to change your provider or call and scold the one you are using now.
Many players, when trying to play Warcraft 3 via Garena LAN in 2018, encountered an error in Garena “Error 2741 connection failed”, we will tell you how to fix this issue in Garena.
It’s 2018 and many people don’t even know that once upon a time the most convenient way to play the third Warcraft over the network or the Internet was through the Garena client. Now each game itself has built-in functionality for online games and the need for such clients has disappeared, and the developers closed the original project a long time ago. Now “Garena +” itself and the Lan client come separately.
After starting the client and updating to latest version we get to the form for entering login and password, but after that there is an endless loading bar and a window pops up with the error Error 2741.
How to fix Error 2741 connection failed in Garena
Garena itself now looks different, and in order to launch Warcraft 3 and play on the Internet in 2018, you will need to download the Garena LAN client. We recommend downloading the program only from the official website: Garena LAN
We download the installer, install the program and launch it, after which we get to the form for entering the login and password of Garena Lan.
Important! Also, for a successful launch we will need Warcraft version 1.26a, it can be downloaded on the iccup.com forum or via torrent
After installing the latest version of Garena LAN and Warcraft 1.26a, the following error may occur: after entering your login and password, there is an endless download with the inscription “Auth in Main Server”.
This is a flaw of the developers, we hope that it will be corrected in the next releases. In the meantime, you can take the following steps.
- Disable Windows Firewall and all sorts of network programs.
- Programs like Hamachi also block the connection.
- Various proxies and VPN services.
- Turn off the antivirus for a while.
- We recommend turning off all software that uses and creates network connections.
This video explains in detail how to fix error 2741.
Conclusion

Although gaming technology has long stepped forward, many still prefer to play Warcraft 3 through the Garena Lan client. But in 2018, you won’t be able to enter the game in the usual way, because now it’s coming out error Error 2741 “Connection failed in Garena.” And today we will fix it so that we can play Warcraft 3 through the Garena client.
Warcraft 3 on Garena LAN
When logging into Garena in 2018, the message “Garena+ has officially been replaced by the new Garena” appears on the screen. Update now for a new gaming experience." Let's make an upgrade - our games will be updated to the latest version, about which we will be notified by another message.
Upgrading Garena
But even after the update, we will not be able to log into the old version of Garena, because the authorization continues endlessly and at the end the client displays the error “Connection failed.”
Fixing a bug in Garena
If we download the new Garena, we still won’t be able to play, because, unlike the old client, it does not support Warcraft 3. We need the version with which we can enter our favorite game. Download Garena from the website “Garena – online games”. And here we see a message that since October 2, 2017, a separate client has been allocated for online games, separate from Garena+. Close it and download Lan Games from the same page. After installation and login to the client, a window appears for entering Garena registration data.
New client for playing Warcraft 3
New Auth in Main Server error
The reason is that Garena is blocked by other connections on the computer: a firewall, virtual networks etc. Be sure to check whether we have installed applications such as Hamachi (software for building a VPN), Tunngle (a client that makes playing in multiplayer mode as convenient as possible) and others that connect to the network.
Solving authorization problems
- And we see applications that need to be disabled (the same Tunngle, Hamachi). If we try to disconnect them using RMB, then after a while they will connect again. Means, network connection needs to be completely removed.
- Launch the Task Manager (via Start or the keyboard shortcut ctrl + alt + delete) and go to the “Processes” tab.
- We look for the required process (if we disable Hamachi, then hamachi-2.exe) and terminate it, after which we return to “ Network connections” and disable the program. But, if we now need Hamachi, it will generate an error until the PC restarts.
We also disable Windows firewall, antivirus, VPN services, proxies and other applications that use the network connection. Now we try to enter Garena again, and we succeed. The program interface opens, there are only 4 LAN games left, including two rooms for Warcraft 3.
The first reason why users cannot see hosts in Garen is the inappropriate version of the Warcraft 3 client. The first reason that you cannot see hosts in Garen may be the version of your Warcraft 3 client. If the version does not correspond to the generally accepted one, gamers will see only a small part of the hosts with the installed inappropriate version.
What kind of Warcraft do you need?
The most commonly used version of Warcraft in the Russian Garena region is 1.26a. The exception is specific rooms in which it is more popular old version War3, if the hosts are not visible, ask users in the room chat which version they are using.
Check the version by logging into Warcraft, the value will be indicated in the lower right corner of the title screen.
If you have a different version of Warcraft installed, resolve the issue by installing the appropriate patch. Download the patch from the Blizzard website or use the application Warrun.
Why doesn't Garena Plus see games?
The reason may be that the Garena or Warcraft client is blocked by an antivirus or Windows firewall.
Add garena.exe and war3.exe to security exceptions software and try again.
Some users launch Warcraft 3 from a desktop shortcut or from an installed folder. When you launch Warcraft in this way, the hosts are not visible. To launch correctly, click the “Start” button in the interface Garena Plus.
Check whether the path to the Warcraft executable file - war3.exe is specified correctly in the Garena application settings.
If the above reasons do not apply to your case, try reinstalling Garena. Before clean install uninstall the application, clean the registry with any specialized software, for example, Ccleaner.
What is a tunnel
The tunnel helps Garena users establish an improved connection with a specific player. Useful if the user is not visible at all or has a ping value of X.
Entering a room, Garena establishes a peer-to-peer connection or peer-to-peer network between all players. The standard room window contains a list of all users present inside. Opposite the user's nickname is the ping column, which contains either a value - the number of milliseconds of delay between you and the player, or a capital red X.
Establish an improved connection with a user whose ping is X by creating a tunnel. Tunneling users whose ping is indicated by a number in rare cases reduces latency, in most cases it does not affect the connection, despite popular misconception.
How to tunnel
Just select the user's nickname from the list, right-click on it and select the tunnel in the drop-down list. 
A message about a successful tunnel will appear in the chat and the red X will change to the number of milliseconds of delay to the end user.
Tunneling manually is a tedious task, give this job to specialized software. Garena Total- an excellent program with an auto tunnel function, one of the best and most stable programs for Garena. It doesn’t crash, it doesn’t crash, it’s still supported to this day. Instantly tunnel players in the room by pressing F6. Additional features how setting up hotkeys and autojoiner will not be superfluous. 
I don't see my friend
Let's look at common reasons why users don't see their friends.
To begin, make sure that:
- You have the same version of Warcraft.
- You are in the same room.
If the conditions are met, tunnel your friend. If the tunnel does not help, make sure that antivirus applications are not blocking the connection.
Often the problem is solved by changing the port in the settings of Warcraft 3. Launch Warcraft, go to “Settings”, then “Game” and there change the port address to 6113. 
How to host
The first step is to launch Garena Plus, open Warcraft by clicking the “Start” button.
On the title screen, tap Local Network. 
A window will appear with a list of games created in the room. Select "New Game" as shown in the screenshot below. 
Select the desired card from the list, in our case this is Dota allstars, click “New Game”. 
All you have to do is wait until the players occupy the slots and press “Start”. 
The program does not start
The first reason for not logging into Garena is insufficient launch rights.
Launch Garena Plus correctly by clicking on the shortcut with the second mouse button and selecting “Run as administrator”. 
For the application to function correctly, the following components are required:
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010.
- Microsoft. NET Framework 4.
- Adobe Flash Player.
Install the missing ones Windows components or update existing ones.
If Garena still won't start, check to see if your Windows Firewall, antivirus, or firewall is blocking Garena Plus. Try turning off the protection tools and if Garena works, add garena.exe and war3.exe to the antivirus and firewall exceptions.
Sometimes installed maphacks, autojoiners and other cheats interfere with correct operation. Try removing the cheating software and starting the client again. There are also viruses that block the operation of Garena Plus.
If the above methods do not help, try reinstalling the Garena client by deleting registry entries and folders created by the program.
Once you have finished removing the software, install the new Garena Plus as an administrator. When installing Garena on a 64-bit system Windows application will be established in Program folder Files (x86), this often causes launch problems; to launch correctly, install the application in the regular Program Files directory or in another folder.
How to change or make a colored nickname
Unfortunately, you cannot change your nickname in Garen. Previously, the Rename option was available in paid services.
The name is changed in the Garena Plus client itself, it will be displayed to your friends inside the messenger, but will not appear in the game. 
The name contains prohibited characters
Change your nickname if your name contains prohibited characters. Go to the link http://changename.garena.com/, enter your username and password, and if the name contains prohibited characters, change your nickname.
How to make a colored nickname
The colored nickname in Garen can be configured in several ways. The bottom line is that the name is changed to a code. Don't be alarmed, the code is displayed as a set of symbols in the program menu, in the lobby, but in the game it looks colored.
The simplest way To make your nickname color is to use specialized software.
Garena Master- perfect for changing your nickname to a colored one. Garena Master has the best map hack, exp hack and a bunch of other great features. 
Download and launch Garena Master, click the Garena Features or Options button. 
To enable the nickname change function, activate the checkbox next to the “Enable” button, then click the Set Color button and select the desired color. Zodcraft has not been updated for a long time, so changing the nickname works crookedly and every once in a while.
Attention! Due to restrictions imposed by Garena, you will not see the changed color, but other players will see it.
How to find out your ID
Garena ID is a unique identifier in the Garena system assigned to any player. The ID is associated with a login, account and games associated with the account, level and privileges.
Using ID, you can find any user, add him to your friends or blacklist. Using the identifier, purchases are made within the system and account top-ups are made.
To find out your ID, launch Garena and click on your avatar in the messenger window. 
A window will open containing information about the user; the first line in the profile column is your identifier.
