  • Cannot connect online - Steam version

    #1
    Hello,

    I'm not able to connect to the servers for CnC:3 TW. I am using the steam version I'm wondering if this could be the issue or not.

    Thanks

    What is the exact error message received, if any?

    Ensure you are using the correct details to login with. The first box your EA ID, the second your password and the third your online alias.

    The third box can be different, depending on what you want to be called, but the first box must stay the same.

    The first box info can be recovered here

      I have all my info correct...It's telling me "Cannot connect to server" Or something along the lines of that. I'll take a screenshot of it when I try after I get up, but I can tell you all my info is correct.

      This isn't the first issue I've had with EA's servers, I did on Generals and it magically fixed it's self two days after the fact.

          I'm getting the same thing - Steam version.

          I've:
          disabled windows firewall
          added ports to the router
          put my pc in a DMZ
          turned off antivirus
          tried different locations (using the GSMiscPref0.ini file in the 'appdata\...\online files' folder
          changed the GamespyIPaddress using the Options.ini file (making it read only)

          I'm using the correct EA login (I have checked it on ea.com)

          This is the first time I've attempted to do online play (just grabbed the game from Steam today); but it looks like falcon was having this issue for at least three days.

          Any thoughts?

            I have the exact same issue, i succesfully registered the game and i have the correct EA account name and password but it says the message that appears there, its like the online servers are offline.

            EDIT!!! The issue was that Hamachy apparently was screwing up my IP so that is why it was not connecting to the server, to verify your ip you should go to Settings from the Main menu and then to the Network tab, in the left drop down menu you should be able to change to the correct ip and connect to the online servers. Cheers

              This is a quite common issue, I wonder why it's not in the sticky... But this fix should definitely work if it's your problem, I had the same issue shortly after I bought the game.
