Re: C&C 3 Tiberium Wars

Im not even sure what hamachi is

I'll take that as a no. Do you have any P2P networking software installed? A LAN program or something in that direction?

Nope, I have no networking software on this computer whatsoever.

The Gamespy servers are total crap, I often have problems myself. I assume your firewall is letting the program through? Also in the in-game settings check the Network tab and make sure the IP address listed is your online IP address. Also try this:

Reset the Gamespy routing info for the game.

* Hold the windows key on your keyboard and press the r button.
* In the run dialog box, type %APPDATA% and press enter.
* This works for both – XP and Vista.

Go into the game folder.
When in that folder you'll see the Options.ini file, it may be in another subfolder, open it.
Search for:

GameSpyIPAddress = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (naturally there are other numbers)

To reset the routing for the game simply remove the whole line. [Remember to back it up!]

Save and exit the file and try to play online.

Firewall is letting the program have access and the online IP is correct. When I open the Options.ini file there is nothing to do with Gamespy IP in there.

C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars\Profiles\[your profile]

There is a file called options.ini there but it does not have:
