Hi there,

 

I am using the Ultimate Collector Edition version of the game on Origin.

 

After starting the lobby the game searches for probes or something before telling me that I was unable to connect to other players.

 

I've tried everything suggested here and here (running the game as admin, forwarding ports, ingame port settings, disabling both windows and kaspersky firewalls, downloading the cnc ultimate launcher by bibber, disabling origin ingame).

 

So far nothing worked.

 

My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

 

When running the natnegtest this is what I get.

 

Any idea what else could be done?

You've set compatibility to  WIn XP SP3 (not Windows 7 as in your link, which is old)?

Ah yes, I seem to have missed that.

 

But even after changing that it connecting still won't work. I tried with both generals being exempt from the firewall and the antivirus program turned off alltogether.

 

Or do you mean that I should change the compability TO windows xp etc.?

 

It won't work with either compability setting, firewalls turned off both times.

Yes, you should change the compatibility to Windows XP SP3.     Are you able to try setting up a DMZ on your computer (you would have to google your modem to find out how and you may also need to give your network card a static IP address, if you cannot assign the DMZ to the MAC address of your network card)?     Although the connection test indicates that you shouldn't need to, it does help some people.
