Windows 10 64 Bit, Origin Ultimate Collection.

I haven't played in a while and it seems I can no longer connect to other players (I could play with others a few months ago)

Whenever me / the host clicks on start I am stuck on "waiting for probe" and then I get the error message that I could not connect.

I had one game (out of 20) this evening where I got to the loading screen but my opponents progress bar stayed at 0% and when I got ingame I could vote him out.

Windows firewall is disabled, firewall of my antivirues disabled as well.

I disabled all other network connections, the options menu shows the normal 192.168... IP address.

I copied the d3d8.dll to the zero hour folder.

I directly launch CnCZH via the shortcut on my desktop that was created by Origin and launch it as administrator.

I tried with and without "send delay"

Also tried the fixed launchers from http://bibber.eu/dow...tion-launchers/

NAT negotiation works with your router and connection.
==> You do not have to use port forwarding.

 

EDIT: Okay from what I read from other threads I guess the problem is my IPv6 address. However my provider does not deactivate the DS Lite tunnel.

I have a rented server in a datacenter with an IPv4 address at hand, think I can set something up to fix the problem?

It would be easier to use a VPN to side step that problem.      You could use your server as a proxy but you would need to get hold of some software to do that.    For my own part, I don't know where you would start with that.    If you can get a decent VPN set up, you can provide yourself with an IP4 address.
