Lion's Daily Blurb - Friday, March 30

[Lion]

I've given the nickname 'Patches' to the C&C3 game. We're on our second one, and looks like a third one may be released today. And don't forget, the main balance patch is to be released at the end of April. EA is on it's way to setting a new record I think. Well, at least they're trying their best to eliminate bugs in the game, which currently number greater than the whole army of Scrin. Today I attempted to play an online game, but I keep getting disconnected from the server. After about a dozen tries, I gave up. On Thursday I thought it was fixed, but it's back again, and it's not just happening to me. At least I can connect to the Custom Lobby. Heck, some peeps can't even get that far. So what do we do? We just have to be patient and hope that EA and Gamespy can work things out. Yes, they are aware of the problems and working on solutions. Currently the servers are slower than molasses running uphill in January. It brings new meaning to the word LAG.

If you really really want to play, you can use a VPN like Hamachi (http://www.hamachi.cc/). If you decide to do this, invite me, we can do a DGNF Virtual Lan Tournament.. :D :D :D

Well, I don't have the game yet, but should be getting my comp upgraded tomorrow, and will get it then. Just wished EA would have kept the game back a month if it meant it would be less buggy! :(

I havent had a problem connecting to a clansmen in WNx in compstomps so far so maybe its just what you guys were doing.

Well, I can play every RTS game I currently own online without any problems except C&C3. The problem is not on my end.

I think Gamespy is at fault, imo. We've had issues with them in the DoW community.

patch 1.02 totally took away any online I had with 1.1 now it freezes my comp everytime I try to login online..I have to reset my system to regain control.
Man I'll tell ya..this sux the game is good but the rest needs some serious work.
I hope EA is listening to this.
I need to know how to uninstall Patch 1.02.

Meh, at least y'all can play the game.

My game just crashes to desktop about three minutes into any skirmish game I start up on any map; campaigns don't even start up.

Damn multiplayer doesn't even wanna connect for me, either (though my computer would probably just crash when the map loaded, anyway).


Funny thing is that I can play through the tutorial mission without a hitch.
