At the moment(17th September) the server is down as it went through a change of hosting and the server did not survive. At the moment the server may not be recoverable, my friend Chevko asked Todd Harris if there were some files we may be able to get access to to be able to run out own server or if we may get the Global Agenda 2 we were promised. But as of now the idea of Global Agenda coming back online or Global agenda 2 is dead. Be sure to join the Global Agenda discord to keep up to date.

Don't bother with the 'Agendorks' discord, Ran by a pleb now.

There is already one guide on how to install through steam which is https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=477857016
Thanks to Dreadnaught for that! https://steamproxy.net/id/dreadnaughtdanger

Warning: steam methods do not work for everybody!
Another way (does not work for everyone some people believe its only for old steam account which have downloaded and played Global agenda before on that account)
1. Open CMD in windows with administrator



2. Once CMD is open type "start steam://install/17020" in CMD (Reminder you can't copy and paste in CMD)
3. Once you have enter'd this when it should come up with the normal menu when installing a game through steam.


Alternate method to the one above^
Open any internet application (Chrome, Firefox...) with administrator and go to the url and paste "steam://install/17020" there and it should come up with the install menu through steam.

Another alternate method.
Go to: https://steamdb.info/app/17020/
And press on green button 'free' or could be 'owned' either one will do. Browser should automaticly run Steam client bootstrapper or a box will come up saying 'run Steam client bootstrapper' if you click it and it should install.

1#Firstly you will want to download the game files, you can do that here:
(Had to post the link in a google drive because steam blocked the mediafire link): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1k9qo6d0od7PU7CI5iFnDnPR9r-YSkESL
(Includes instructions etc if you do not want to use this guide)
Or Download the torrent but will need to follow my guide on how to install. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YMnD058jzbbi8A03a9afNQgj4_nMYBHF/view?usp=sharing But you will need either BitTorrent or Utorrent to use the file and download the file (Alot quicker than the mediafire).
Once that is downloaded locate where you want it installed.
Examples:
C:\Program Files (x86) or C:\Program Files

2# Extract everything from that file you downloaded if you cant you will need to install a unzip application such as https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (The one i currently use)

3# Once extracted you can go into that file and enter its Binaries folder.
Example: C:\Progam Files\Global Agenda\Binaries
Then you should see "Global Agenda.exe" right click it and create a shortcut and but it on your desktop or somewhere you will launch the game from.

4# Right click your Global agenda shortcut you just made and hit Properties.

5# Find the target box. Go to the end of the box and you should see the .exe" then add this to the end of it.
-host=inapatl.globalagendagame.com -seekfreeloading
(Besure that there is a space between the .exe" and the -host as show in the image below.


6# Hit apply and you should be ready to play.

To make sure you have done this correctly the game should launch without the launcher if it does not then you may need to install the "PreReqs-Redist" inside the files you extracted.
Example: C:\Progam Files\Global Agenda\PreReqs-Redist

Minor Tweaks

If you would like to start the game with no splash screen head to your Global agenda shortcut and right click and go to properties.
Once you are in your properties head to your target box and head to the end of it where your -host=inapatl.globalagendagame.com -seekfreeloading should be.
Then just add -nosplash to the end of it.
(Make sure that there is a space between -seekfreeloading and -nosplash)


Alternate login screen
Firstly open TgEngine.ini, you will find it in the following places:
Steam users(example): X:\Steam\steamapps\common\global agenda live\tggame\config\TgEngine
Global Agenda(Non steam): X:\Games\Global Agenda\tggame\config\TgEngine

Once open'd find the URL Section (Ctrl + f to find easily) and you can change that to any of these:
Globe Login Screen: this is the one that it's currently changed to in this game installation
Map=LoginAllCombined_P.ut3
LocalMap=LoginAllCombined_P.ut3

Map=LoginAllCombined_P.ut3
LocalMap=LoginAllCombined_P.ut3

Elf Login Screen:
Map=LoginElvish_P.ut3
LocalMap=LoginElvish_P.ut3

Globe Login Screen: this is the one that it's currently changed to in this game installation
Map=LoginAllCombined_P.ut3
LocalMap=LoginAllCombined_P.ut3

Free Agent Screen: this is the default one that comes if you was to download the game today but Hi-Rez shut the download files down
Map=Login_FreeAgent.ut3
LocalMap=Login_FreeAgent.ut3

The Sandstorm update login screen somehow does not work. Remember to save the file.


How to turn the game settings to the lowest(High performance) or highest setting

Find the file TgEngline.ini, you will find it in the following places:
Steam users(example): X:\Steam\steamapps\common\global agenda live\tggame\config\TgEngine
Global Agenda(Non steam): X:\Games\Global Agenda\tggame\config\TgEngine

Locate the SystemSettings Section and then you will find alot of writing (Entries) which begin with "TEXTUREGROUP" Besure to replace them with the following:

NOTE! Fore the non-steam users besure to change the file(TgEngine.ini) and make it a read only file (Right click it and hit properties, there you will see "Read only" besure to tick that and hit apply, this is so Global agenda does not overwrite the changes you made.

How to add an exception for Global agenda in your Anti virus or Firewall
This is really straight forward, all you need to do is head to the real time protection (scans/monitors what you download etc) and add an exception for Global agenda.

Thanks Chevko for the help! https://steamproxy.net/id/chevko/

This allows you to load up any Global Agenda map including Dev/Test maps to look around. You cannot play but you can walk/fly around.

Firstly download this config file and replace it with yours. https://mega.nz/file/uVhDUJpA#U5_QBmWJfYz0I8k6cDqRkA98Q6GEnf2h2J6Q3D5cDfk
Your config file is located in GA's files, ...\GlobalAgenda\Tggame\Config

When replaced you need to go over to your GA launcher ...\GlobalAgenda\Binaries, right click it and and make a shortcut, when made right click the shortcut and at the end of the target box add "-log -seekfreeloading" and apply.





When done boot the game from that shortcut, does not matter if you use the steam version or not. When booted you will see a CMD pop up, just ignore it. When booted you should see yy in the unsername box if its worked. When done press Y and you will see:


STEAM IS MESSING UP RIGHT NOW BUT SHOULD BE A CONSOLE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN WHICH IS BLACK AND GREEN AND HAVE THE TEXT "Team Stay" IN IT.


Remove "TeamSay" and replace it with "open SD_Zone_P.ut3?game=TgEditor.EdGame?listen=true?bIsLanMatch=true?name=testplayer?team=255?DefaultCharacter=Engine.LocalPlayer?quickstart=1?numplay=1" and this will boot Sonoran Desert.

Commands:

• Icarus - Allows you to fly and ghost
  
• Setplayersuits - allows you to set what your players is wearing but enables you to fall through certain maps
  
• Ill expand the command list in the future

To change the map go to ...\GlobalAgenda\Tggame\CookedPC\Maps\ and copy the name of the map wanting to load in. For example if you wanted to load up ToxicCity or Dome city then the command put into the console would be "open Push_Toxicity" or "open DomeCity_P_VER_3" Mind that certain maps like dome city have multiple parts if different files such as Dome city having the Christmas map.

Any help needed add me after leaving a comment on my profile about it and ill be right on it.
