Windows 10

 

Followed the FAQ and install guide :

  1. Installed the game
  2. Made a shortcut through steam
  3. Ran C&C Online in admin mode
  4. Clicked hooking for RA3 (no pop ups appeared at this point)
  5. Tried to open the game from the shortcut > nothing happens

Solutions I've tried:

  1. Tried compatability mode for the RA3 application for Windows 7 and XP. When I do that, game fails to start, and does not start even after unhooking. The game only starts running after I untick compatability mode.
  2. Running the game unhooked, alt-tabbing and opening C&C online and clicking RA3. I got the "could not connect backend servers" error.
  3. Closed antivirus before trying. 

C&C online error log is empty

 

Looking forward for any assistance you can offer me. I'd love to play some RA3 co-op with my little bro.

Dude, had same problem.

Do not run launcher from admin, or run also game from admin.

Run launcher in windows 8 compatibility mode.

Then when you launch game, launcher will launch, then when you press "red alert" another copy of launcher will run (lol), then this second launcher will be able to launch game.

At least that how it worked for me.
