I posted a topic yesterday about not being able to play.

 

This is wat happened today. Everything works fine, I've got my original game working and installed the program for the online server,

 

I'm able to play online.

 

 

But when I restart the game, it says ''could not connect..''

 

When I reinstall GenTool it works again, but when I restart Zero Hour, it doesn't

 

 

EDIT: when I go online I won't be able to play with others too, it says ''your game is a different version''

There could be several things going on, for example your antivirus or firewall might be interfering.

For Zero Hour do not use the launcher, but only install gentool and use the original game shortcut.

 

If you have a different version you are most likely not using the latest patch.


"To know what question we may reasonably propose is in itself a strong evidence of sagacity or intelligence. For if a question be in itself incongruous and begs for uncalled-for answers, it holds, sometimes, besides embarrassing the proposer, the disadvantage to seduce the unguarded listener into giving absurd answers, and we are presented with the ridiculous spectacle of one (as the ancients said) milking the he-goat, and the other holding a sieve beneath."

You need to run the game as administrator and with Windows XP SP3 compatibility. Are you setting that every time? You can set those on the property tab of a game shortcut. Not doing that will cause the errors you mention.
