I can't login to play online. I've registered on the homo EA website & created a sub-account thing, but using those details in C&C comes up with 'user hasn't registered game'. I went to the main EA site and it doesn't list C&C3 in the register game section?

:confused:


you have to register c&c3 on the little blue pop up.

Oh is that the Ereg thing? It crashes when opening :(

on the login in page there is a register button, you may need to delete the login in details and restart game for it to become available. click that and it should close the game and bring up a blue box.

Yeah, that tries to open Ereg which crashes straight away before opening correctly. Just looking on the forums for anyone else with same problem. Everything else is perfect with the game.
 
has anyone ever successfully played any of the C&C games online without crappy errors? cause there online gameplay is absolutely terrible in past, generals was a howl trying to get it to work, you got it working and BOOM! some syncronisation error, how enjoyable :mad:

Never had a problem with any c&C game all though I never played generals online as i hated the game on first player, it just didn't feel right.
 
I used to have nightmares on C&C generals with getting it to start the game off which was router issues. I have not had any problems so far on C&C 3 apart from occasionally getting booted from the lobby? I tend to get games really easy and they go through fine, lag free etc. Played some brilliant 5-8 player human games yesterday.

i just played against the scrin online and theres no way to win. the first 40 seconds hes already blowing up your power generators then you lose :mad:

Can't hang on in Multi. Average ranked game is 6mins long i believe :)

My tactic is 2 refineries then rush for Mammoths.

Nah, it's the one after that I think...

It's where you have to rescue an MCV and your base starts with low power...

I've given it another go, and it's not as hard if you use lots of mcvs filled with rocket guys, but it's still rather hard. :/


your sig says your uing a house radiator? you got a pic of your cooling setup?? :eek:
 
If anyone is getting crashes to the desktop with a DirectX error message, update your nVidia drivers to the latest ones. Fixed it for me. Just had a co-op multiplayer with my mate against 2 AI bots, must have played for about 2 hours, no crashes and ran beautifully :)

Playing on the EA online servers... not recommended!!!... Unless you are absolutely godlike at these games :p:D

Played a bit of single player and a bunch of comp stomps with a friend and gotta say this game is class. Very well paced and the variety of units is great.

Only real complaint is the dodgy online game browser (no surprises that it's powered by gamespy) which tends to kick me to desktop occasionally. Other than that, non-stop fun.

I'm well and truly stuck on this one. No matter what I do, I get wiped out. And the difficulty settings doesn't make the slighest difference! :eek:

goody_106 jhust thought you are using two different games aren't you?
Hey, thanks for all the responses, yeah were using two different copies.

We were also trying to play it using a crossed cable between mine and my mates coputer to rule out the router problems so its not that.

Plays fine online, just the LAN were having trouble with.

And with respect patch v1.03 - according to c&c3 forums, it was already announced last night after all of the troubles people were having online :mad:

As everyone has moaned so much I expect it'll be at least middle of next week. They'll give thiis one some testing before releasing. I wish they just kept chucking them out.

My only other thought is have you treied turning your firewalls off?
As there a pain in the backside for lan's but are setup fine for internet.
