About the game
Global Agenda (Hi-Rez Studios, 2010) was a sci-fi online shooter with jetpacks, co-op missions and raids, PvP matches, and agencies fighting over territory in Agency vs Agency conquest. The official servers shut down years ago.
GA:Reconnected brings it back on community-run servers here on schlumpy.net.
- Assault
- Heavy armor and big guns.
- Medic
- Keeps the squad alive.
- Recon
- Stealth, sniping, scouting.
- Robotics
- Turrets, shields, repair.

How to play
You need a Windows PC with Steam installed and signed in. That's it.
Make an account
Create a free schlumpy.net account – your game login is set up automatically and uses the same name and password. Had a schlumpy.net account before the game servers? Set your game password once under Account → Game accounts.
Played Global Agenda on Steam? Link your Steam account and we mail your agent the blue and black Commonwealth armour (an appearance for any level).
Run the launcher
Download the GA:Reconnected launcher, unzip it and double-click
SchlumpyGA.exe. If you don't have Global Agenda yet, it installs it from Steam for you (free).Sign in and play
Sign in on the launcher with your schlumpy.net name and password (tick Remember me to stay signed in for 30 days), then press PLAY – the game logs you in by itself. Next time, just use the GA:Reconnected desktop shortcut.
First run: firewall and antivirus
Firewall: Windows may ask once about the mission helper. Yes is best, No is harmless.
Antivirus: if it flags pythonw.exe, GlobalAgenda.exe or dinput8.dll in the launcher folder, allow them.
The first run also installs the game's extras (PhysX, DirectX, Visual C++) – click Yes when Windows asks. Never press Play in Steam; always use the launcher.
Your PC and your missions
Your missions run on your own PC to keep the servers free; nothing else is shared. On weaker PCs or blocked networks they simply run on our server instead.
Troubleshooting
- Can't connect? The test server restarts sometimes – wait a minute and retry.
- Locked out? After 5 wrong passwords, wait 10 minutes.
- Undo our changes: Steam → Properties → “Verify integrity of game files”.
- Logs:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\SchlumpyGA\node

FAQ
Is it free?
Yes, the whole game is free to play.
Do I need the game?
No separate download – the launcher installs it through Steam (free). You just need Steam installed and signed in. We never distribute game files.
Is my PC safe?
The helper only runs your own missions, only connects out to our server, and a firewall rule keeps it closed to your network. The server is open source. Original files are backed up and can be restored any time (-RestoreOriginals or Steam “Verify”), and uninstalling is just deleting %LOCALAPPDATA%\SchlumpyGA and the shortcut.
