Re: Red Alert 1 Online problems

[5onic]

1) I did task manager and it does not work, it just goes into game and then min back. (this isn't much of an issue, I dont alt tab during online play but it can be annoying to forget to save in story mode)

 

2) This solved my issue thank you.

 

3) it says I got 3.03E in red alert 1 and the interface did change showing "4players" on the right. But what online interface you mean? The network? Or westwood online? When I try westwood it tells me to sign up, and network does nothing.

 

Thank you for your reply.

in the main menu of the game go to multiplayer / internet

if it asks to register online cancel then make any nick/pass

[5onic]

It'll hang on connecting then it'll say connection timed out after.

I think you may need to forward the ports required for Command and Conquer Red Alert which you can always try.

 

Please forward the following ports...

 

1234 - 1237 UDP and TCP

 

3840 UDP and TCP

 

4000 UDP and TCP

 

4005 UDP and TCP

 

4808 UDP and TCP

 

4810 UDP and TCP

 

4995 UDP and TCP

 

5400 UDP and TCP

 

5009 UDP and TCP

 

7000 - 7002 UDP and TCP

 

I hope I answered your question!

first try a different nick 7 letters if it dont work try to download the xwis tool and press reset on it then try to connect again

[5onic]

Doesn't work =/

[Tore]

I've got a small guide on how to play RA1 online here.

 

If you get any problems check this.

[5onic]

Nope doesn't work, though I'll try hamachi later and for additional information, I use AVG and spybot.

[Killa57]

download wwchat and try to login there but if it dosent connect let me know

[5onic]

I connect as guest and then it crashes.

 

Edit: tried with guest, nickname1,2 and my own custom name/password. All crashes, weird.

 

P.S Would tunngle work with red alert1?

[Ferret]

Yes.

[5onic]

Yeah Just had a match with my friend on tunngle

[Killa57]

okay since wwchat crashes just open xwis tool and press reset on it and restart wwchat and try to login again all this has happened to me before more than once

[5onic]

Didn't work =S, is there any manual way of doing it? If it has something to do with host file, do I need to add an ip? Because I think my spybot is blocking shit. It has a list of ip websites blocks on the host file.

 

[Tore]

Add this to your hosts file:

 

88.198.24.17 irc.westwood.com

88.198.24.17 servserv.westwood.com

[Tore]

Splitt from Red Alert 1 Colours screw up

[5onic]

Very strange, did not see the ip's in the host file when its suppose to be there. I posted it, but still does not work. Tunngle on the other hand works perfectly (so far) and works better than my hamachi experiences.

[5onic]

Solved issue making red alert 1 not alt tab back, in windows, alt tab back to red alert when it goes to black screen click as much as you can and it will not close down again.

[Tore]

Seems like there is a problem with XWIS itself.

[5onic]

Hah, it sucks that that doesn't work but I'm glad tunngle works.

[Killa57]

well it might just not be you if anyone can login in lobby of 3.03 let me know cause i get timed out but i can login on tiberian sun and wwchat??? is it me or xwis that i can login on 3.03 version of ra?
