I used to have a Windows 7 install and Gameranger worked just fine; I recently installed Windows 10 Ameliorated and now Gameranger tells me:
There was no response after contacting the GameRanger server
Things I've tried:
- Restarting my computer
- Verifed I can ping Gameranger.com
- Using both Ethernet and Wifi
- Setting my network to Private or Public
- Connecting on Linux (I have a dual boot computer) works
- My computer clock has the right time
- Adding my User to the administrator group
- Running the program as administrator
- Allowing the app through the firewall
- Reinstalling Gameranger
Does anyone have other ideas? Thanks!

the missing components are apparently advertising Chrome based I think but cannot be sure, because I do not know what the files are exactly used for. With trial and error I found out what gameranger needed to have to function, in my test you can still register a new account all that gameranger needs are these components function properly see link.

to install go to C:\Users\ your username \AppData\Roaming\GameRanger\GameRanger Prefs then overwrite components.
I found an intriguing little thing on YouTube
apparently when you use a proxy it works so I don't quite get what's going on but it is indeed weird.
