C&C Generals, cannot connect to online server
Hi all! Yesterday I purchased C&C Generals Ultimate package. Wanted to play generals or zero hour extension with my friends like in the old days. However, when we try to connect to the online server...

Great, thank you very much! 🙂
The full story:
Generals, Zero Hour, C&C3, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3 all used the Gamespy system for their online play, but the whole system has been shut down in July 2014. Not really EA's fault; they're just one of the many companies whose slightly older games lost online support because of it.
As shown in the thread @ivrognard linked, in KL4NDRI's post, community servers have been set up to replace them, so it should be possible to play online that way. More information on that can be found at http://cnc-online.net/.
This system works for Generals, Zero Hour, C&C3, Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. For the classics (Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2) you can use CnCNet.
Thanks to both of you 🙂 I use GameRanger now, that one works well and was able to play it with my friends 🙂
