Building menu greys out midway through game

[marktb1961]

Hello. I'm new to playing RA1 on cncnet. I'm getting a problem in some games where after a while the building menu greys out completely and no further buildings can be built. If I try aborting a build (on any building type, chosen at random iirc), I hear the building cancelled message. All buildings come back to colour and I can start building again - except the building never actually starts; instead the building menu greys out again completely.  Also, any MCVs I create will be unable to deploy (no message heard, iirc).  I have checked carefully and I hadn't put building on hold. Also I had plenty of ore.  I am not yet very fast, and this behaviour is kicking in when I have built a substantial base but still far fewer buildings than the opposition.

 

Could I be missing something?

 

Thank you for any help.

you've reached the maximum unit/building limit in-game.

my suggestion is stop playing spammy and unlimited money maps and play RA properly

You hit the max building limit. This means there are 500 building on the map. The only way you can build more is by selling some of yours or destroying another players building.
