I dont want to necro this thread but it seems not to be solved. (Despite the last entry about turning off the firewall)

This error can unfortunatelly have many causes and it always depends when it appears timewise, reaching from not correctly generated files (like options.ini)  at startup to Win10 not being able to access files correctly (like dgbhelp.dll), but if it happens during the game, it can be a memory leakage issue which I could confirm after reading it online and testing it in network sessions always with 8 x players and/or 8 x AI on hard.

Using only 2 types of fractions (i.e. USA Superweapon and GLA Stealth) by all players, helped me finishing saessions with 8 player / 8 AI on hard every time. 

Whenever we used 3 fractions (i.e. USA,  USA Laser, GLA Stealth, or more) the error could be reproduced. This leads me to believe, the more divers the combatans are, the more likely this error will appear. 

I dont know what the exact cause of this is, but it worked for me. 

(Just FYI this was my TS prior to finding out)

1. Starting vanilla ZH - network game - 8 AI/players on Iron Dragon without mods-> 20 minutes into the game -> NG

2. Turned off Origin and Cloudsaving -> NG

3. Installed Gentool -> NG

4. Installed DirectX SDK from 2010 -> NG

5. Installed Gentool off patcher -> NG

6. Used a Generals.exe that skips the origin launchers and allows commandlines to pass through (inteded for -win / windowed mode) -> NG

7. Inserted d3d8.dll (new d8tod9 wrapper) as d3d8x.dll -> NG

8. Checked if options.ini was faulty and tried with low settings and a Generals friendly resolution -> NG

9. Deleted everything / leftover files manually and reinstalled Generals. -> NG

10. Started over again about 2 times in a different order with 3 different fixed launchers from github-> NG )

Specs:

WIN10 64 bit

Xeon 5560

RTX 2060

24 GB RAM DDR3

Ok , I heard he received the activation email. Thank you!

Dear Xads,

maybe, but when googling for "Host has left the game",  this thread comes up. Many more people, not only in this forum, will find this helpful maybe.

Troubleshooting:

1. Ok, so the port-forwarding of 16000 didnt do anything, also since DMZ was activated for both of us while trying to connect. 

2. BUT, I went back to make sure that we are on the same network using Cyberghost while disabling IP6 in the LAN adapter and VPN adapter settings and making sure, once again, that the IP selection in RA3 is the one from the VPN for both for us. 

Result: It worked. We could connect just fine. No error message anymore.

I tried the same thing with hamachi and it also worked just fine.

Thank you for your help. 

Dear xads,

could we please revive this thread?  My buddy and I have the same exact issue. I searched your forum but only found two topics on this issue here. This one and one from 2017, both being unsolved.

https://forums.revor...t-the-game-bug/

Then I checked discord, found many who had the same issues, but all those requests remained unsolved (at least no public solution that got confirmed)

1.Start the game via C&C Online Launcher (Game is hooked)

2.Network Options says "No IP" . Also have no port no. Delay is turned off.

3.I log on to the online mode and start a coop/ network skirmish, and invite my buddy. 

4.He accepts the invite and gets an error message as above: Host has left the game.

5.Same applies the other way around, however, we both are able to join other random peoples games.

Networks: Different ISPs. Tested same network via VPN. Tested different ones, too, he with VPN, me without VPN. Gives the same result.

Used IP4 VPN (Cyberghost) while ip6 is turned off and correct IP is selected in game: Didnt work.

Yes I checked out Windscribe, but data-integrity is too important for me. Same goes with Hamachi (non commercial version, that isn't setup installed by IT)

I use Cyberghost.

Games: RA3 - Both from Ultimate Edition from Origin

Firewall: We bothered with approving both RA3 /RA3ep1 files, but in the end we disabled the FW to make sure. Didn't help.

• TCP: 3783, 4321, 6660-6669, 28900, 29900-29901
• UDP: 6515, 6500, 13139, 27900

NATnegtest: Both ok.

NAT negotiation works with your router and connection.
==> You do not have to use port forwarding.

Restartet Router and PCs: Yes, several times.

It must be something with either my or his setup, but I am out of luck with troubleshooting after 12 hours of trying.

Btw, what is the reason to use a VPN by one person in the first place? Non of our ports are blocked by ISP, and the network is automatically different if we are not in the same household.

Hope you can help
