I downloaded CnC:Online and followed the installation instructions. i hooked the game and when i start it, using steam the launcher starts. When clicking on the RA3 button the game actually launches after a while (not responding) but its still trying to connect to the gamespy servers i think. Ive tried reinstalling, launching both steam and RA3 as admin. Im using win 11.

----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----
Game: Red Alert 3
Red Alert 3 Install Path: E:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Command and Conquer Red Alert 3\
Started game with: "RA3.exe "
Caught CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT from Red Alert 3. Detaching...
ERROR: game.dat process not found.

Also tried with send delay.

I have one selectable local ip (192.---.---.---)



Any help is greatly appreciated

Ive updated my original post with a screenshot of the terminal. It seems that there are no issues actually connecting to the server. I presume the game is actually still trying to connect to the gamespy servers.
