TheRev Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Very frustrating.. I was hoping to play my son aged 30 by the way and can't get game going. Running windows 7 with DirectX 10 or 11and yet each time I try to launch game it fails. Have taken Firewall down to see if that makes a difference :down: hoping someone can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAttack Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 are you in same location? A quick fix would be multiplayer->network game... I'm pretty sure that still works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 How far do you get? Does the game start and you see the box with your own name in it? Do you play on CnCNet or do you use a old game installation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 How far do you get? Does the game start and you see the box with your own name in it? Do you play on CnCNet or do you use a old game installation? I am trying to pay on CnCNet. I get the first screen and no matter what game mode I choose single player skirmish or lobby game as soon as I choose an option my screen goes blank ( or shrinks to the icon on the task bar) then back screen. Sound and mouse only. When I move the mouse I can hear the various options being activated - I think any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound and mouse only. When I move the mouse I can hear the various options being activated - I think - this happens occasionally. for a Skirmish I choose my Lobby settings - choose a couple of AI players and again the screen bounces only this time it shrinks as if to go active then after a couple of seconds returns me to the Lobby where I will try and 'Launch' the game again. I did notice that when I select an AI player the small red circle with the bar to the left of the players name remains this way and cannot be selected or changed to a green tick - is this a clue? I am really hoping we can get this sorted as I am a big fan of the game any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myg Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just played a game on cncnet, seems to work fine from a general functioning point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myg Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just saw this on the chat: "<Patrick> Game start failed... TunnelServer: The Operation has timed out 83.137.146.231" I asked if it was ocurring recently on the system today and didn't get a responce. Maybe it is the reason why it didn't start for the original poster of this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myg Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just saw someone else output the same thing. Is this a real thing happening with the tunnel servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 TheRev: Are you sue you are talking about tiberian dawn? I don't know what first screen you are talking about since tiberian dawn doesn't have a game launcher with a single player button. Myg: That is normal, happens sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
