Hello CnC Online!
 

I am in awe of what you guys are doing! Awesome stuff!

But sadly, something on my part stops me from playing!

Basically what happens is; I log in fine, I can chat with everyone just fine, I can join games. But as soon as I try to connect to people in a game lobby, the connection always fail.

What I've tried:

 

  • Deactivating Windows Firewall
  • Added C&C Online Launcher to the exception list in Windows Firewall
  • Deactivating AVG antivirus
  • Added C&C Online Launcer to the exception list in AVG
  • Opened port 16000 TCP and UDP
  • Opened various Steam ports and Gamespy ports
  • Deleted FirewallPortOverride = 16000 from Options.ini and made it read only
  • Restarted PC after doing all the above changes

 

I don't know what else I can do!

Do you guys have any ideas?

Is this for Red Alert 3? If so, we're still working on fixing some issues with the connection to other players and that problem is unfortunately quite widespread.

In my case Yes, it is Red Alert 3!

Having the same problem. I cán connect to some players though, be it only two so far.

 

Is that normal? I read the common solutions page. Anything else I can do?

Can you try to set you PC as DMZ zone? I have connection issue too but I solve it by updating the launcher and setting my PC as DMZ zone. (You probably need to restart your LAN connection after have set you PC as DMZ zone)

If you're not using Red Alert 3, then just setting up port forwarding on port 16000 (UDP) and setting FirewallPortOverride = 16000 should be enough for you to host games. If you still can't connect with other players it might be their problem.

Is there a permanent solution yet? My internet provider doesn't allow me to turn off my UPnP.

 

Are they developing an upgrade fixing this?
