XBOX ONE C&C Red Alert 3 coop or versus not working due to a bug

 
Hello,
 
The thing is, me and my friend both bought a copy of Red Alert 3 for Xbox 360 and were looking to playing via backwards compatibility on our Xbox One X, so we each bought a RA3 game. When we tried to play yesterday, we entered the lobby with no problems, but we had big problems starting the game. The problem is, the non-host player is unable to press "ready" so the game would move on and start. He doesnt even see our player names. The same thing happens in versus and coop.
 
Another problem in versus is, that when non-host player is choosing his position on the map in the lobby, his game freezes.

It seems that servers are still working fine so I have no idea what's the problem and only thing I was able to look up on the internet is that few people had the exact same problem a month ago. A person from online chat here on EA told me this:
 
Sometimes there is an error in syncing of the game data with the servers due to which this issue occurs.
Actually I was just chatting with a player a moment ago and they were facing the same issue.
There is no fixed ETA for the turn around but this should be fixed soon as possible. Please don't worry about it.
 
Apparently there are more people trying to run this. Please fix this!! We want dem achievements and coop campaign ☹️

  • Same problem on PS3.

    When i try to join my friends game over the internet via invite i keep getting this message 'Failed to connect to the match host. Please try connecting to another match'
    Same happens when hosting a game.

    We also tried this on the same LAN, with both PS3 consoles on the same router.
    The joining player seems always able to join and appears in the lobby for the host player.


    On the screen of the joined player the PSN online ID and profile picture of both players do not appear.

    The game does not respond to any inputs from the joined player, except to L1/R1 and L2/R2.
    The joined player can select other players profile with L1/R1, when trying to view a profile with the triangle button this error code appears; (8002AB06)
    In the game settings tab the joined player can not make any adjustments except for selecting a starting position on the map, but when pressing the square button to select the position the game freezes for the joined player.

    The joined player appears as 'not ready' for the host, and we are unable to start the game.

  • Exact same problem as OP. This has been going on for weeks now, unable to start an online game / campaign on Xbox One or Xbox 360. UK servers.

  • Did you find a fix or did it eventually work? I'm on xbox 360 and having the same issues it is very frustrating, please let me know

  • what my friend did was make a new account / use an alt account and it worked fine. sad that there doesn't seem to be an alternative either
