connecting problem

[eluno]

hello,

my problem is that when i try to play online i never get to the loading screen where all the players are loading and instead the screen goes black for a second and reappears in my desktop. it also happens when i try to play online by myself and only an AI. The skirmish games not online work fine so i know it must be a connection thing.

 

Also, the screen randomly freezes when playing online, but i can stil hear sound so i know its just me that froze.

 

I have a dell inspiron 13 7000 series, windows 10, and my antivirus is kaspersky 2016. i tried setting it as 'run this program in compatibility mode for windows 98/windows me' and it works sometimes because sometimes it returns the box of 'run this program..' to being unchecked.

correction:i just realized that the skirmish not online also do the same thing.

OK so just to confirm, skirmish offline play does not work also?

 

If it doesn't, could you try the following steps:

 

1). Go to Options (within the CnCNet client)

2). Go to the Display tab, and set Renderer to ts-ddraw.

3). Save, retry.

Also playing online with only AI. (lock the game so no one enters and pick all AI and click im ready) . itll do the same thing.

Try setting it to default, failing that, also try setting the game resolution to your desktop resolution.

ok, i think i fixed it.in the display section of the options in the cncnet i changed renderer to IE-DDRAW and checked the box that says "back buffer in video memory(dont enable unless necessary)".  its been working fine for the past couple days and it loads fine also, only that when i get a new map transferred online, there is usually a disconnection and we ( everyone playing online with me in the room) have to go back, but after that it works good.

thanks for the help and time ,now i can play this addicting game.

This is a global issue right now, and happens for everyone, so you're good now
