Hello, recently me and my friend wanted to play Zero Hour and Shockwave, and sadly not going as intended, atleast Shockwave what we can see, we will shortly test if ZH works as standalone.
Any help to directly make it so that we can play together ( fix on two of my computers, one on his, ) and I hope to reward you kindly with a game code as thank you for your help. Both of us got Teamviewer so if you need to connect remotely to most easily make settings ( even ingame), no problem. Note, it is not just to be sure ZH works, but foremost, Shockwave mod to work online together.
So far, this is the information I can offer:
Me: Ultimate Collection ( Origin Digital) , no crack or anything similar used.
Friend: Original classic game with its key. Using " no cd crack" .
Computer 1 and 2: Computers in my home that I use to play with my friend, Computer 3.
Computer 3: My friends computer, that he uses to play with me, computer 1 and 2.
Both: Got latest ZH patch, Shockwave update, Gentool, accounts on CNC Online/Revora. Also Hamachi installed ( but has not worked well so for purposes, ignore it for now, we have inactivated it and checked IP online ). Also added the port 16000 and tested with the server tester tool, that we connect correctly. Also, CNC online and games, run in compatibility mode and as admins.
Problem 1, computer 1 & 3: We enter lobby, enter each others game, but not too long after we play abit, we get disconnected ( dont remember error message but will note down ! )
Problem 2, All: We enter the lobby of CNC Online, we can see each other briefly ( occasionally disappearing ), we try to create games and join each other, but nothing comes up.
Problem 3 All: We tried direct connect but says connection timed out, and we were in same network (Hamachi ), but didnt work, be it because of the above or a seperate issue related to only Hamachi.
Hope this is enough information to get started, feel free to ask for more information that I may have missed, and I will add it in to my post. Anyone feeling they wish to try through Teamviewer, PM me, hopefully a mod ( prioritised ) can help out, otherwise, first come first serve, however, I will rotate on each session, so that the one that SOLVES the problem, gets the game code, not the one putting in most work and such, be aware !
I thank you for reading, glad to join the community, and hope to have this solved,as its the first time for my friend playing Generals, and I cant wait to have a blast playing it with him.
Update:
Now my friend cannot enter CNC online, gets the error message " cannot connect to CNC online ". We also tries this with ZH and shockwave, no difference. We also removed CNC online launcher as seems we only need Gentool for ZH/Shockwave play. Lan does not work either, be it with SWR.net for Shockwave, nor for Hamachi either.
