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

Hi, Just bought the C&C 3: Tiberium wars from the Origin Sale running now. Downloaded and installed the game with no problems.  When I started it though, it required me to Log in with my EA Credent...

@bubon2000 Are you talking about game activation, or about multiplayer?

Game activation can apparently be solved by going into the game folder and starting CNC3.exe directly instead of going through the Origin client.

As for multiplayer, the official servers for C&C3 went down with GameSpy; you need the community servers at C&C: Online to play on the internet.

@Nyerguds

Thank you for your answer.

I'm talking about game activation.

Game was already activated months ago, but suddenly, without any reason I was asked to log in into my EA account to activate the game.

Just little window popped up asking for login and password.

Although I type my login and password into form  I always get: "Can not connect to the server. Please try again in a few minutes. "

I tried to run CNC3.exe directly from folder but it didn't work. Login form appeared again asking for my EA login and password.

My other origin games work well, I can log into EA account through www.origin.com or Origin application (origin.exe).

     Well, yes, that's normal. Did you give it? It shouldn't change the way things are supposed to work, but if you do it from the directly-launched exe, it should succeed there. That's all.

        @bubon2000Did you try first opening Origin, keeping it open, and then starting the cnc3.exe?
