how the **** do you play CnC3 online?

[Ravioli]

This is getting on my nerves, ive been trying for hours...HOW THE **** do i play CnC3 online? I was able to a few months ago, but since i forgot my acc i cant! So then i requested they sent me my acc info, and they DID, but it wont ****ING work for some reason....so then i registrated a new acc...which it didnt let me. So then i tried again to register, and it worked! But now i STILL cant play online. There are 3 fields:

EA acc
password
Online ID

where the hell do i get this "online ID" ?????? I tried registrating at the official forums but it STILL wont work. And the button saying "register" in the game doesnt do SHIT, i click on it and the game ****ing crashes.


****ing ea believable

Hmmm not sure on this one Rav...what are you entering when you try to play online?

Your Online ID is tied with your username on the EA C&C3 forums.

Gah it is complicated....you have to make a seperate C&C3 account under your EA Account i think...you use your Online ID to get online.

Can't really remember, was ages ago when I set mine up *scratches head*

weird, i think that if i can fix the registration thingy it has ingame i might make it work, but everytime i click on it, it just crashes

Ok, you tried the ever useful uninstall then reinstall and fully patch up?

 

[Ravioli]

i reinstalled once, might do it again. Ive searched around and found that the registration crash is sometimes caused by Flash Player, and that i should uninstall it. The thing is that i cant find the uninstaller, not even in the control panel remove/add programs.

Is there any other way i can remove it?

Not sure if you have to do a complete re-install of Flash Player. Download the newest version and install that.

Had a similar problem with registration, yeah Flash Player has to be up-to-date for it to work.

Think there may have been another fix, will have a look for you if the Flash update doesn't work

it works now! reinstalled flash player and i managed to register a new account, but then it says that my OLD account uses my CD-Key......

I got it to send my old accounts info once again, and this time it worked to log in. I dont know why it didnt work the first time :/ even tho i tried it over and over again.

Thanks for the help! I just wish that they shouldnt force ppl to go through this crap, why not just hit "multiplayer" and join a game? Just like all other games?

Piracy.

Piracy kills.

Blame EA being anti-Piracy on all the pain getting C&C3 MP to work!
