Hi,

CnC Ultimate Collection, bought via Origin.

Version 1.04

Error: (the screenshot of the error is attached)

Attached File  sshot001.bmp   2.25MB   161 downloads

 

I've downloaded everything what should be necessary to play online( gentool, member with revora). When I want to start a online game (when the game starts (with a human enemy) after the selectin of map and rules) it is written: Connection not possible (in German: Verbindungsaufbau nicht möglich). Then I can press ok and thats it.

 

The connection diagnostic tool result:

see attached jpg.

 

 

System:

windwos 8.1

 

Error Log File:

 

----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----
Game: Zero Hour

It is a bit strange, since I start generals Zero hour via a shortcut on the desktop with administrator rights- but in the error log it is written , that I have limited rights !??!

 

Thanks for your help!

You shouldn't be using the launcher at all and you don't need to if you have gentool installed.    You should just start the game with its ordinary short cut.    Try that and see if you still have problems.

I tried the desktop shortcut (opend as admin) and the following happened:

 

1. Origin is started

2. I have to select which generals i want ( I choose ZH)

3. gentool is started within the generals zh intro

4. i select multiplayer, online, lobby

5. sometimes i have to wait > 5 min to find a open game (at the 1vs 1 server) (if i open a game, it takes also quite long that someone is interested) ; additionally i see little (no games, also if they are full the games are not shown)

6. i find a game (1vs1), select no general, no color (all things what are able to choose are ????????)

7. the game wants to start and then the error comes (as described in my first post):  connection is not possible --> and I just can click "Enter"

 

 

What could be interesting, if i want to start a quick game- then it is written that match maker is not found.

Have you also checked for possible restrictions in the firewall?

 

Some paid anti-virus programs comes with its own firewall for example, can you please check that to see if that makes a difference regarding the connectivity issue.

 

 

Perhaps swap to 2 v 2 lobby, I noticed people are most of the times in that lobby. c:

I tried all suggestions I found in an other post (i guess i tried roughly 15) but nothing worked. There, shutdown of firewalls was also explained.

@XXDSKETCHXX Hi, could you make your own topic and post your connection test in there. It is too confusing trying to deal with two issues like this in the same topic. I will get to you. See How to Report Issues for instructions.

@YtheAlien OK, are you running the game with Win XP SP3 compatibility and as administrator? Not doing that can cause the kind of problem you have.

Hmmmm. I am a bit stuck now. You could try using a VPN. We have been recommending Windscribe as a free VPN and generally speaking people have had a lot of success with that. You get 10GB per month for free if you provide an email address and that should be enough for your playing needs.

This fixed my issues and I have had the same than the topic creator here. The old Internet Protocol ( IpV4) has been removed for most of the users and the new IpV6 is causing a lot of Troubles. Windscribe is working perfect.

the following worked right now, so i can localize the problem:
In the following the  windows 10 laptop is called laptop 2- cnc ZH worked with a different internet service provider (A1). no windscribe, or other steps were taken there, than installing gentool. Connection was done with WLAN.
But still, laptop 1 can't connect to a game at that internet service provider (A1). Also tried windscribe on / off. No solution for laptop 1 --> always the same error (connection not possible)

 

Any suggestions, where to find the error? With laptop 1 it should work....

Internet provider is "3".

Backtracking a bit, can you completely disable Windows Firewall for both public and private connections (temporarily) on Laptop 1 and try again?    I read that you have looked at the firewall already, but let's try that because it has to be something of that nature.

I struggle a bit with the language but it looks like you've made an exception for the game, rather than switching the firewall off completely?

Switching off windows firewall doesn't help. Same error as usual.

But I can start an online game as a single player (with no human opponent), then it works.
