ZH and First Decade.....

[Cheese 0]

I have C&C Generals Deluxe Edition, my buddy has 2 machines with First Decade. When we try to play ZH with me and him and his buddy, they on the 2 machines with the First Decade, I will be able to establish a connection with 1 of them but the other one will timeout. I am trying to figure out as to why this might be? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

LAN or online?

I know you mentioned Zero Hour but you never know. For any computers running versions of Generals that are not from The First Decade, download and install the Generals v1.08 patch from http://www.cncnz.com/files/generals/patches.php

 

You should also make sure that any firewalls are configured to allow the appropriate network permissions as well.

If its online... So you got 3 computers, two using the same TFD (the same keys), and the other one using deluxe edition, right?

 

One key = One person can only use it online.

 

So your buddies are using the same ZH key at the same time, thus kicking the other one off.

No, each machine has it's own key.

Hmm. Then I'd try patching it. If that don't work... Network issuses? Ports? Idk. ;S
