Hi together,

 

I'm having a problem with joining online matches in Generals Evolutions Mod 0.3.

When attempting to start a game, I'm getting the message "Connection failed, Can't connect to player 1-2" (something like that.

 

I'm playing with Red Allert 3 (1.12) from Origin (within ultimate edition).

I'd really appreciate if someone could help here.

 

Answers either in English or German if preferred.

 

Cheers,

Puree

Hello, everyone,

I would like to play GenEvo online....but I can't log in because it breaks off when I log in.

the original Red Alert3 online works without any problems

Hi,

 

yes Generals was the best RTS game ever made and I'm so happy that there's a comeback.

 

- No VPN's running on my side

- Firewall isn't blocking anything. I gave access to genevo launcher

- Online IP within network options: No IP assigned - Also the port number is empty.

 

Should I enter an IP?

Both of my friends have the same setting (without IP), but they can play.

 

Any idea how this can be solved?

 

Cheers

Sorry for the delay in the answer (struggling a bit with a corona infection)

You can try assigning the 192. IP in there but I think you will either have to port forward or use a VPN I can give you a guide for both

Hi,

 

I've already tried to enter an IP with 192.xxx.x.xx but unfortunately this didn't help. So yes, it would be great if you could share a guide.

 

Thanks

alternatively, another thing you can try is downloading an ipv4 supporting vpn like windscribe free vpn https://windscribe.com/ for which you should then create and verify your account. Once it’s installed you should have a little windscribe window on your desktop, open it and in the upper left corner you should see 3 stripes, click them, and then locate the debug menu where you should find a switch called Ipv6 which you shouldn’t touch yet as windscribe underwent an update and therefore this guide needs some work, by default Ipv6 is turned on however we want to turn it off which will require a pc restart, after the restart  windscribe should pop up automatically and to get it working with the game do the following:

1. make sure that NOTHING is draining data in the background (with a verified windscribe account you get 10GB of data monthly for free which is sufficient for just playing the game)

2. activate windscribe and wait until it’s connected, as soon as it is you can check again if anything is draining data

3. launch the game

4. in the game’s main menu go to options -> settings -> network

5. change your online and lan ip to the second available option (that starts with 10 or the one that does not match any of your ips that you might have been using with Hamachi or something)

6. connect to generals/kw/ra3 online (note that it can take a few tries until the game will let you connect)

7. start a match with your mate and see if it works

8. if it doesn’t work then try to change host and change who is using windscribe (for example you use windscribe and he doesnt but if it won’t connect then he should try using windscribe and you should disable it)

9. in some cases it can change who needs to use it over time, sometimes even both players need it

For any questions etc. ping me
