How to play lego games online with friends
To play with your friends, you will be using an application called Parsec that allows you to connect to other people’s computers and share screens through streaming.
Parsec is different from typical streaming applications since it allows other people to input controls into a streamed game. Follow these steps to play lego games with your friends using Parsec.
Step 1: Download Parsec And Create An Account
Visit parsec.app and download the application. Parsec is available for Windows, macOS, Android, Ubuntu, and Raspberry Pi 3. To be able to host games, you will need to have the Parsec standalone program on your PC instead of the Parsec web client.
Install and open Parsec on your PC. You will need to complete signup in order for able to use the Parsec client. Once signed up, you can log into your Parsec account using the client.
Step 2: Enable Hosting on Parsec
To host games on your computer you will need to allow connection from others. Hence you must enable the hosting feature on Parsec.
You can check your current host settings via the host file available on:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
To enable hosting from Parsec go to parsec settings > click on the host tab> make sure the hosting is enabled.
Step 4: Download Your LEGO game
Having a LEGO game installed on your PC is a must when you are trying to experience multiplayer using Parsec. Go ahead and download your favorite LEGO game on your computer. You can download Batman LEGO games for free at epicgames.com.
It’s recommended that you start playing your LEGO game a bit and level up before you invite your friends to join.
Step 5: Invite Your Friends to Parsec
To play games with your friends, you will either need to invite them to connect to your PC or you will need to connect to their PC. Make sure both of you have a Parsec account and the Parsec client installed.
To add a friend on Parsec: Go to the friends tab and click on add friends.
Then search your friend by their name or Parsec ID. Once a request is sent to your friend they need to accept the invitation to establish the connection. By default, Parsec sets minimal permission for each user, which you can customize according to their needs.
An added friend will be available on the friend list to connect with every time they are online.
Step 6: Play LEGO Games With Friends
On Parsec, who hosts the game will depend upon who owns the game. If both users have the game on their respective PC, the game should be hosted by the one with a better internet connection.
To host a game, start by launching the game on your PC and invite your friend using Parsec. Your friend has to accept the invitation for a connection to be established, and then your screen will be shared with your friend.
The gamepad controls will be automatically assigned to your friend or guest so that they can play their part. You can still customize the permission for a connected user.
Additionally, you can set up a Discord server for better communication while playing together to enjoy the co-op experience fully.
