Re: Command and conquer 3 tiberium wars login failed - can't connect to server

Thank you for your reply, @EA_Nils.

Unfortunately I already requested refund for the games.

Can some of the others confirm if this really solves the issue with C&C3 Tiberium Wars? Because as far as I read, this is a problem for at least 2-3 years with people running windows 7 64bit

It isn't solved yet, I have this problem too and my system is win7 64.

Hello, i also have the same issue as posted earlyer, cannot connect, try again later.... 

running win7 64bit

you can't play online anymore in the game becouse gamespy has been bankurupt AKA the servers: gamespy compagny 🙂

I bougth the game today in 2017, and the solutions isn't available anymore 😞 

Can you repost the soluton too the problem?

The standalone CNC3 is no longer playable due to the servers shutting down and EA failing to move their authentication method elsewhere. You need to request a refund or get it changed to the ultimate/first decade collection (they should do it free).

Also if you plan to play with mods, search for the fixed mod launchers for the corresponding collection you get.

Took  me about 2-3 weeks to get a resolution to this issue.

Not true 🙂

In November 2016 I bought one again C&C - it was Command & Conquer™ The Ultimate Collection. This version works well.

I've had the same problem. EA replaced my C&C games with the ultimate collection and I was able to launch the game again 🙂

I was having this same problem.  I would attempt to activate the game, but it would complain that it could not access the server.  I was finally able to track down the problem to having my Origin games installed on a different drive than the Origin executable.  In order to fix this problem, I created a soft link between the default install directory, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games" and my actual game install directory. This is the command I used:

mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games"  "[Actual Install Directory]"

I hope this helps,.

Can confirm creating a soft link worked for me. Standalone Origin version of C&C3 on Win7 64-bit SP1.

Confirmed fix when you set games to install on D: and not default.

Useful for saving space on OS SSD drive.
