trying to 15+ games, 13+ desyncs.

Could this be my install? is it common. I've only competed two online games and I can't find anything in there tech support.

De-syncs, disconnects and random game freezes. Seems to be all part of KW online :rolleyes:

To make things worse, EA are using an old copy of C&C3 on KW, meaning the anti-hack protection they put on it at a later date isn't on KW, so people can use old exploits/hacks :rolleyes:

I'd honestly wait until they release a patch for it to fix it up if you want a decent online experience, or at least find a bunch of friends rather than randomers :)
 
So bloody annoying why do Ea have to release all the good games, with appalling stability and support.

There not even hot fixing it, they're going to roll it out in the first patch. That's if they can fix it at all.

Just to clarify something in my above post - I don't have a problem with timers per se. I just don't think they should be triggered specifically by completion of other objectives.

So for example, an overall timelimit for a mission to complete all objectives (say 30mins) is fine with me, as long as that is clear from the outset. You then know where you stand and can prioritise your tactics accordingly. But suddenly 'rewarding' success by initiating a short-lived countdown timer, which will make you lose the entire mission, is just evil. I could probably accept a non-fatal comeback, say a superweapon attack on my base. But not a bloody MISSION FAILED message.

Yeah, the mission where you have to capture a scientist (or it could have been a politician, can't remember), you blast up around the left hand side of the map, then when you get the scientist they put him in an uncontrolable transport and fly him, slowly over the large emeny base, which happens to have a snot load of anti-air cover.

Reload :(
 
As posted earlier, where is the GDI campaign? does it get unlocked when completing the other campaign/s? My son bought this game to play both sides at the least, not just one.

Not true, desyncing happens when one person is detected using a cheat which is why it happens usually right near the start of the game

That's how it's supposed to work. The client checks the checksum of the .dat file, sends it off and compares it to each other client, if one differs, a desync message will occur.

Unfortunatly, EA coded this game, so you'll also get a desync when an AA Turret fires at a Hammerhead :rolleyes: With that bug in mind, I'm sure there are plenty others just like it.

It isn't a bad game once you can get past all the desyncs/freezes. I went from 4/16 mainly due to desyncs/freezes to 5x/3x.

Don't think there is one, it's a "Kane" add-on pack.
 
I've been liking the global conquest mode except in this case the scrin are far too overpowered. Make a squad with one exterminator tripod and six carriers and they'll never get damaged.

Ever.
