Lan_EX

It's not, it's the original version, Viper

Well, it was worth the try I must say, yet I'm afraid something else is missing. I've got this error

----- C&C:Online Launcher Start -----

Game: C&C3

C&C3 Install Path: D:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\

Started game with: "CNC3.exe "

Caught CREATE_PROCESS_DEBUG_EVENT from C&C3. Detaching...

Found game.dat process. PID 4724

ERROR: game.dat process not found.

 

 

Thank you Viper

 

 

About Origin (at least for Origin Red Alert 3, since I'm using it), I know when you start the game, the game will launch Origin first (if it's not started yet), then exit, then Origin will start the game again. Maybe it has something to do with this mechanism....

 

Thank you, Viper, I think it may be related to that. Funny thing is the "play" button in origin greyed out, and the CNC launcher started, yet it lauched another window and ended up with the same issue. I'm curious about the "ERROR: game.dat process not found." As you might have noticed, game is installed in a folder different from default. And I can tell you it was a really pain to get the game running because of Origin outdated authentication.

Anyway, I really appreciate you keep an eye on this issue, guys

Yup, thought so too, Viper. And ended up getting the CA patching error

Plus, it keeps opening the launcher window and the splash window instead of launching the game :/

Can you try to run Origin first, then start the (hooked) game (and the launcher) from shortcut?

 

 

Ok It looks similar to what I usually do though

Origin started, clicked on game shortcut, launcher appeared, ignore it and clicked on the launcher shortcut.

it opened the launcher window, clicked on C&C3, it opened another launcher window and the game splash screen

As the game failed to launch, I click on the second launcher window button, resulted in backend server error

Anyway, thanks
