Hello, when somebody opens a room in 1v1 lobby let's say, i don't see it instantly, i have to switch to lobby 2v2 and then go back to 1v1 lobby to see the room, it's really annoying problem which also was in the original gamespy servers, please fix it.

Does it appear when you press the Refresh button?

I tried.. nope it doesn't.. i waited some time.. i switched to lobby 2v2 and went back to 1v1.. it didn't appear! until i clicked few times refresh + clicked on "Name"

It's so lame.. super dispointed.. it's not any better than the old servers.. i think even worse.

This appears to be some limitation with Generals itself as it works fine for the newer games. I will look into it again. For now you can just switch to another lobby and then back, that will refresh the list (but also takes a few seconds). The refresh button doesn't do anything to my knowledge.

As far as I know and remember there was never a time when games appeared instantly. Sometimes if would appear afer a few seconds but most of the time you would have to go back and forth between lobbies. It's just the way of CCG and ZH and really is a non-issue in comparison to other things.

The problem you're experiencing is caused from the reality that generals really is a terribly made game, who's code for the multiplayer lobby has always sucked hard. No one is able to alter EA's code, legally or practically.

 

Also, if everyone who played the game paid a dollar for the fix, revora might make 50 bucks. But 20 of those dollars would be fake and 10 more scud bugs.

I will gladly donate for Zero Hour to be fully functional. I've dedicated 10 years into ZH, and was only competitive into 2 other games (CoD: MW4 and C&C3 Tiberium Wars). I always found myself coming back to ZH times and times again.

I will continue being patient for the next coming weeks in the lobby. Say HI and play my fair GT games.

I agree.  Zero Hour is the only game (now 11 years old) that has still got me playing without ever getting bored.  And I'm talking about it beating GTA, HALO, MW, etc...   I'll happily live with a few bugs, and will donate to this great server cause to carry on playing.

Hi,

 

please read the pinned topics and then create your own thread if the problem is not solved there.


"To know what question we may reasonably propose is in itself a strong evidence of sagacity or intelligence. For if a question be in itself incongruous and begs for uncalled-for answers, it holds, sometimes, besides embarrassing the proposer, the disadvantage to seduce the unguarded listener into giving absurd answers, and we are presented with the ridiculous spectacle of one (as the ancients said) milking the he-goat, and the other holding a sieve beneath."

Your either trying to connect to the old EA/Gamespy servers which are now offline, or you haven't launched the game through the software that you are need to download from cnc-online.net  (which you must be aware of to have ended up here).  If you follow the instructions it works fine.

jskills, Ive tried the DMZ and the open port 16000 setting on my router and it still gives me the "cannot connect to generals online" message on the online ID window.

 

Strangely when I try to log in with my evanz1987 account it says that "that user name is already registered" or something like that (cant remember)

 

So maybe it can connect to the cnconline server to acknowledge that my account already exists but has not been activated on the server yet!?!?

 

BTW I launch from the cnconline program on administrator mode & has been configured with my firewall if that helps...

- Upon login, the game says: 'The specified Online ID or account name is already in use'.

SolutionYour nickname has probably been reserved. You need to claim your old nicknames. Activating them takes some time. Read the pinned topics.

ICT, indeed it has been reserved.. but I am still unable to create a new account. Guess I will have to wait until my name has been uploaded!

Because I fear if we committed to that, KW players wanting custom maps might assassinate us in our beds.

 

Plus, from a technical and practical standpoint, it's just not a feasible goal.
