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

@bubon2000

I dunno, from what I heard it's a client-side problem, not server side. Other people have managed to get through it.

You could try fiddling around with it; see what it does if you start it without Origin already started, and if it makes a difference (in both these ways) if you specifically run cnc3.exe as administrator.

I wanted to check whether problem is on client-side or server-side.

I created virtual machine under VirtualBox 5.1.4, guest operating system: Windows 7.

I enabled DirectX support for this system.

Then, in that environment I installed Origin client. After that I downloaded C&C Tiberium Wars.

Unfortunately, after running the game I was asked for EA 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 think it's a server-side problem.

I called EA phone support. They could not help me. EA activated SIMS 4 in my Origin account instead...

I'm having the EXACT same issue as Bubon 2000.

I click PLAY in origin - - OR - - i run game outside of Origin.. This does not matter. As the "TIBERIAN SUN" splash screen comes up, so does a tiny little EA box that asks for EMAIL and PASSWORD.

It always fails saying what Bubon 200 already stated. 

This is some sort of legacy BS thing left here, and yes, I'm sure it is something to do with our computers. I have been running this game fine, my last time was in August. Then I had computer issues. I have a new hard drive and a fresh install. I remember this silly EMAIL / PASSWORD box from years ago, but it worked back then.

This is pretty lame EA.
