[CMD331]

Hello,

 

A friend and I have been playing Tiberium Wars for a long time.  All of a sudden, when we go to play a multiplayer game, it counts down to start the game and then stops at 0 and never gets me into the game.  It sits there locked up for about a minute and then the game closes.   I also noticed I cannot play a skirmish.  If I uninstall CnConline I can play a skirmish but obviously cannot play a multiplayer game.  I have reinstalled Command and Conquer 3, Steam and CnConline but it has not helped.

 

He does not have the same problem, it is only me.  And if anyone is wondering, I have my firewalls off, router is set to DMZ and I have 100 mps download.

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

What maps were you attempting to play?    This first thing I would normally have asked you to provide is your error log (see How to Report Issues) but if this is happening on skirmish too, it might be a problem with the location of the map directory.

 

Having said that, I would be tempted simply to reinstall if I were you.

I took your suggestion and tried a different map, but no luck.  I have reinstalled C&Conline, Steam and Tiberium Wars.   Still have the same problem. Below is the error log from just trying to play a skirmish.  Thanks.

It is difficult to say if it happens with other players.  There is not many on there and I can't seem to get on at the right time.

You are using one of the built-in maps that come with the game?

[CMD331]

Yes.  we have played this for years and have not changed a thing.  One day, it wont connect.

If this is happening to you in a skirmish (which does not use an internet connection), I really think you should try a full reinstall.

[CMD331]

What do you mean a full reinstall?   As I stated, I have uninstalled and reinstalled Tiberium Wars.  Is there something else I should be doing besides what the Staff member suggested. 

[ToxicShock]

That is to say, an uninstall from Windows Control Panel, "Apps and Features".

[CMD331]

Hi,

 

I still have the same problem.  Have uninstalled and reinstalled everything.  Any further ideas? 

[CMD331]

After the reinstall, I can play a Skirmish, but once I hook CNC on C&C:online I can't play a skirmish.  It starts to load but then stops and eventually times out and the screen closes. 

 

Any ideas?

Hi I am getting the same issue.  I can set up an online game but as soon as I start it it hangs then crashes. Same thing happens if I do a local skirmish. If I 'unhook' the launcher, skirmish starts working again.
