I have now been able to successfully collect logs from the DEV server during the Saturday debug session where we were able to replicate the natneg issue. 

This is just the first stage of the diagnosis, I now need to agree on a patch with the Revora code owner and will update you all soon !

 

Thanks to the players who joined the Saturday session!

any news so far?

But it doesn't work for me....

I've got the same problem. I've followed all the troubleshooting steps including port forwarding but nothing has worked. :(

Selected and bought the game on steam today as my brother was coming over, especially for coop campaign mode. Then found out the Gamespy servers were down, and then their Natneg server as well. Really dissapointing as Steam/EA still sell this game advertising co-op, and EA did disable co-op over LAN in the first place.

 

Tried fixing it with port forwarding etc, without any luck. Really hope you guys can get it back to work. Thanks a lot in advance!

 

PS What we didnt do yet is use the CNCOnline_DEV_2.05 version which was referred to somewhere in a post, and the seperate RA3 for LAN patch, which exports the campaign maps as skirmish maps (looks like not the real deal..)

Don't use port forwarding with RA3. That apparently doesn't work with the current state of our Natneg server implementation.

We found some clues as to what might be missing, but it could take a while to get that working right.

[Zorro_SF]

Actually.. the portforwarding fixed it for me. Before I've opened all ports described earlier in this post I wasnt able to play online (both skirmish and coop), since today I am with various people.

Only didnt test it with my brother yet.

[Phil]

Did you just set up port forwarding in your router or also configure a static port in the RA3 network settings? The latter did not work for me during my testing.

[Ramsay]

Using the cnc-online loader v2.0.5 without any changes (other than allowing the Win7 firewall to open)

We could login, chat, friend and invite each other but co-op would fail with the 'Failed Connection 1-2' error once the gui video/briefing finished and the game proper (countdown) tried to start.

Setting both our routers to use DMZ for our PC's we were able to play the co-op campaign. The only error at the end of the match being a message about being unable to connect to a stat. server and our game stat's might not be updated (I assumed the message is a missing GameSpy feature).

As DMZ worked I setup port forwarding on my router following this guide

http://www.gamerepla...onnection-guide

I didn't need to setup a static address as the BT Homehub router uses a 'device name' table to route to the correct pc/device even if the device address changes/expires.

I was again able to join my friend's co-op campaign.

Thanks so much for your efforts.Way more than i am capable of.But yeah same issue with me as well.Hope it's fixed soon.

[XonURhed]

So this issue started in July?

Wow! We need to find a server.

[Phil]

Feel free to help fix it. I won't say no.

[XonURhed]

This really sucks!I appreciate all your efforts but it looks like after 17 years  playing my favorite game I am retiring.

Telling us this isn't going to fix the problem or enable us to work on it quicker.

How this situation going?
And just out of curiosity, if its a server shutdown, why can some players get ingame and connect while others can't?

[Phil]

We have an idea what the problem might be but can't fix it right now. Possibly in January.

 

If other players can log in, then the server is obviously running. Although we massively reduced the problem, it's still possible that your game messes up and is left in a half-online state (for the server) so it won't let you back in. We'll try to fix that as well. In the past there was also the problem that the server ran out of possible connections but that is not an issue any more.
