New to Cncnet, oldschool gamer, embarassing issue

[Cmd Draven]

Hey guys and girls! I'd like to first thank the people who made this possible- I've been a C&C fan for longer than I can remember!

 

But.. I'm having a problem with the 'CnCNet - Settings'. The port is set to 9001, host is on server.cncnet.org and in the Game Settings, the Executable file is cncnet.exe, with '-LAN' in the 'command line arguments' section. I think that part is where the problem is coming from, but I don't want to fiddle without guidance.

 

When I click 'OK' on the settings screen, the window changes to a "Connecting to cncnet in 3....2....1..." followed by "Checking for updates". I imagine that part is normal. What I don't think is normal, is that it continually repeats this perpetual cycle of connecting and checking for updates.

 

If anybody could help, I'd appreciate it. ^_^

hi ! the executable must be the game executable, for redalert it is ra95.exe or ra95.dat.if you choose cncnet.exe then it will always try to launch itself instead of the game

Thanks! I changed that and it worked straight away!

 

I assumed I made a stupid mistake, lol. ^_^

Maybe there should be a simple check in that field that it can't be the name of the own executable...
