Hell, I still make accounts even with XWIS. Maybe you're just getting an error.

So I tried RA2 to get a new account, and that didn't work either. YR says LOADING and then gives an error "Sorry, we can't find an internet connection" something or other, and RA2 said "requesting new account" and then "Can't connect to WW online" and closed.

 

So yeah. I'd like to play some YR online...how might I go about doing that?

 

Also keep in mind, I'm an English major. I use my computer for internet, porn, writing papers, and occasionally playing some RA when I'm in the mood, which is part of why I haven't figured out a solution for myself, and also keep in mind that any explanation you give me has to be phrased for a computer semi-illiterate.

To make a new account, literally log in using details you WANT. It automatically creates the account for you.

 

So, lets say you want your account details to be:

 

Rockinmk

 

Pass: abcd1234

 

 

Just enter the username and details in and it will create it for you.

I did that. When it was "creating the account" it tried to access Westwood online, and it couldn't access WW online, and thus, the account could not be created.

Hmm... usually it doesn't even go through that process.

 

Try doing it on Renegade or something, then see if you can transfer it over. It's worked for me in the past (supposedly)

Is your firewall blocking out C&C?

 

Also, you could go to the setup and check off "create new account", and it should work.

Setup is how I've been doing it, and I'm fairly certain my firewall isn't blocking it, but I can surely check.

 

Also, I figure part of the problem is that it's not registered, which would make sense, but I tried and the "register server is down". Is it DOWN down, or is it actually under maintenance? If it's DOWN, how can I register? Etc?

 

Thanks.

Just enter a new name and password to go with it. If it logs you in, you're good to go. If it kicks you out saying your password in incorrect, try something else. It's that easy.

It won't connect, though. I say, New Account. I put in the information, SN, PW, birthday, etc., push "OK" and the little bar at the bottom says, "please wait, we're trying to make your account" or some such, and after a while, it says, "Sorry, we couldn't connect to Westwood Online, please check your internet connection" or some such.

 

And when I tried registering my copy of RA2, the browser opened to "The registry server is down, maybe for maintenance."

This is why Gamespy [which works perfect for me. Im not sure why you guys complain about it] is the best way to go if you want to play online. Sadly, you cant play any of the RTS cnc games except Generals, ZH, and CNC3 online with gamespy. You can however, play Renegade perfectly fine :roll:

I think my game is just retarded, because I can't get the LAN to work either. Whenever I click the network button, it ZIPs like it's going somewhere, but ends up back on the main menu (ZIP being the noise it makes when changing menus).

You don't need to do that. Just go to Internet, click on "Custom Match" and it will ask you for a user name. Just enter a new one and if it's not taken, it will let you in and that will be your new nickname. Don't even GO to the register nickname screen; that is permanently unusable.
