Hi everyone,
I have installed Zero Hour from a German TFD original DVD with original key on my completely new computer. I'm using a no-cd crack for more convenience. When I first tried to launch generals.exe I got a serious error before entering the game. A tool called "genpatcher", which was recommended by xezon and developed by Legionnaire, solved that issue. As my ISP does not provide full IPv4 support I have to use a VPN service and I go with a paid ProtonVPN account. Generals.exe is added to firewall exceptions. I have forwarded a UDP port and have entered the very same port in game options "firewall override". Correct IP is entered in game options "online IP".
Still, I am unable to connect to other players via C&C:Online since my computer upgrade.
With my old system the same settings as above worked for me (have not used genpatcher then, though). Old system ran on Win 10 Home, my current system runs on a Win 10 Pro edition.
I have tried to turn off Windows Defender Firewall and Win 10 standard antivir software but I was still unable to connect. All run as Admin and in XP SP 3 compatibility mode. I don't have any network services like Hamachi, Tunngle or anything on my computer yet.
Any ideas to fix that problem?
Thanks in advance.
