CnC Generals All games in multi player show up grey instead of white

would be nice to get some insite on this....

Hi encounterz1,

A lot of the time online issue like this tend to relate to a block by a firewall or security software. Could you make sure that you have added the C&C Generals installation folder to the safelist/exception list on your firewall/antivirus/security software.

After this relaunch the game and try to join an online match.

Thanks.

~Rick,

Checked all that and tried again, just keeps saying Im playing with a different version.

CnC Zero Hour has not had any problems at all, so I dont under stand why regular generals would.

Hi encounterz1,

Ok that gives me a better idea as to what's wrong, exit the game completely and open Origin. Right click on C&C Generals and click on "Check for updates". This will hopefully download the latest updates required, which should give you access to the online mode.

Let me know if this helps.

I did this and its still saying Im playing with a different version ☹️

been quite some time without any further support on this, I see more and more people having the same issues with the ultimate collection. I must say, Im starting to feel a bit ripped off here.....

Reinstalling the game will probably work. Before it comes to that try uninstalling any mods you have and uninstalling/installing the patches manually.

and how would I uninstall patches manually ?

Go to your game folder, there should be a folder there with the patches, simply delete it.

Run Generals as admin to fix this issue.
