Can't play RA online


gmgo

Question

Hello, I'm new here.

 

I've installed Red Alert both from my original disc (and patched it to 3.03) and from the file in the download section (that comes the game + expansions + patch with no videos).

 

Anyway, I am trying to get online but failed to do so. When I put a nickname (gmgo) and a random 8 chars password, but after a while it says connection timed out.

 

I've opened all ports mentioned on a sticky on my router as well as on my windows firewall.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Nope. Never used that.  :huh:

 

I select "Internet". It asks me to go and register on Westwood. I say "no". Then I input a username (gmgo) and a password consisting of 8 chars. And after a while with the message "logging in" on the screen, it gives me connection timed out.  :(

download wwchat and try to log in there. If wwchat errors then shuts down after trying to log in then you would have to use the xwis tool and press reset then try to log in on wwchat again once connect try to connect with red alert after that  8)

 

THANK YOU! That worked.  :D

Well... I don't know.  :huh: I don't think so, but apparently I did.

 

Good thing it worked. I installed it on my brother's notebook today and when I went back home we set up a match with Teamspeak and played 3 of them, it was really fun (and played very smoothly, unlike AoEII). I was a bit skeptical about it (I managed to connect to Westwood, but wasn't sure if there was going to be lag or not). But there wasn't, even in spite of my brother's 3.5g (movistar) connection. This is the first time I ever played RA online (I played the game TONS of times on network though). It was a blast.

 

Too bad there aren't many players around (if any).

RA is still the best RTS in my books.
