Hi all.Big fan of the Den here.

I got cnc3 the other week and am having major problems.

About 5-10 mins into EVERY game I play online an error message appears on the screen telling me that the game is "out of sync" with other players due to a dfference in game data.Everyone in game is then ejected to the lobby.

The same thing happens when watching a replay,and it always happens just as the fireworks start.Which is sending me off the deep end.

I know what your thinking already,"hes running a different version".Unfortunately I'm not.I have the latest patch and I run the latest replays.

I've confirmed that the specified ports are open for the game,and that its an exception to all firewalls.So I dont think its my firewalls.

I ran an ultima online server trace and everything turned up peachy.I've no packet loss to EA's core server.And my ISP confirmed the connection is working fine.

I've also tried the obvious ones like reinstalling(3 times) and updating my drivers for vid and sound(inc DirectX).I've also run the game with the background processes off,with a cleared internet temp folder.

Nothing I've done so far even yeilds any improvement.And I'm really desperate to game with my m8s.

EA haven't a clue.I think this occured for some people in the last CNC too.I have a feeling I'm going to be abandoned soon.

Can anyone here please help?!Im really begging.

Just a question. How are you updating your game? Are you updating it through the game itself or with a stand alone downloaded patch?
