• The title should contain the game you are having issues with. Example: [BUDDY SERVER CONNECTION REFUSED] Login issue.
• What version of the game are you using (The First Decade; are you on Origin, are you on Steam ** I am not on origin or steam)?
• What kind of error do you get and at what time? BUDDY SERVER CONNECTION REFUSED!
• What operating system are you using? (Windows 10)
• Your error log file. This can be found by typing %TEMP% into your Windows search bar. The file you need is called CNCOnline_Log.txt. You may upload it into your post or copy and paste its contents. (this did not work for me)
• If you cannot connect to other players, also do this:
  • Disable port forwarding and DMZ in your router.
  • Download the connection diagnostic tool here: http://server.cnc-on.../NATNegTest.rar
  • Extract it into a folder and double-click on the .bat file. (Make sure that the files are extracted fully. You cannot run the test from the compressed files.)
