Hey everyone,

since the last update for C&C Online on Tacitus, I can no longer connect to the multiplayer server of Kanes Wrath. Before the update, everything was working perfectly. Now, the connection just doesn't work anymore.

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

• No VPN Connection
• Firewall completely disabled
• No antivirus installed
• Ports are correctly forwarded in the router
• A standard ping via CMD to the server works fine

Despite all this, I still can't connect. Below, I've attached the Tacitus logs in case someone can spot an issue.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Or does anyone have an idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Black24Mamba]

Download the new tacitus from c&c online

[jagan777]

Hi every body

same thing for me, since I installed tacitus, the game no longer works !!!

[joined]

Download tacitus and reinstall it again.

[kassian0x0]

Having the same issues, i have reinstalled Tacitus multiple times and Red Alert 3 will not let me connect. Kane's Wrath surprisingly was fine, but it seems very picky on which one will let me through.

 

Rechecked ip/firewall

Made sure im using the correct login for RA3 

no idea whats up

 

We have multiple people on the same network here, and he can login to RA3 fine, but i cannot, and we have both watched me reinstall Tacitus and we are both stumped as to whats up lol

 

 

UPDATE: we managed to get it working, reverifying the RA3 install and using a different nickname combo on login seemed to work, maybe something picky about it

I had the same problem, and after finding a hint on the internet somewhere the following helped:
- remove the file CNC3EP1_YourLanguage_1.3.SkuDef
- reinstall C&C Online (I wasnt able to download and install tacitus at the moment, but had to install it from an older download I still had)

[Xriscos00]

hi, how did you download tacitus version? it wont allow me to download latest version?

 

it advises the following - 

 

Make sure you trust CCO_TacitusInstaller_v1 (2).exe before you open it

Microsoft Defender SmartScreen couldn't verify if this file is safe because it isn't commonly downloaded. Make sure you trust the file you're downloading or its source before you open it.

 

Name: CCO_TacitusInstaller_v1 (2).exe

Publisher: Unknown

 

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks Chris
