So after me and my friend get into a lobby, we try to start the game but it says "Connection failed" or something. We also tried the "Send Delay" option but it did nothing, please help.

You should run the .bat file
make sure you extract the files first
because the .bat file need the .exe file to work
but you don't need to take this test if you're online and can see the game lobbies
Maybe provide us with the exact error you are having.
dry sierra
yea i can get into a lobby
but when we try to start it is says connection failed or awaiting connection
sullen basin
but when we try to start it is says connection failed or awaiting connection
is it a custom map?
a map that still has to transfer
sullen basin
can you make a screenshot of that error?
sullen basin

dry sierra

Are you able to connect to other players or can your friend connect to others?
dry sierra
well all other lobbies are locked with a password so idk about others
but we can connect into eachothers lobbies
it just shows that connection failed icon
sullen basin
well all other lobbies are locked with a password so idk about others
Well the problem could be you or him.
If you cant find that out use a free VPN like tunnelbear or privadovpn
Its possible you both need a vpn to play
dry sierra
ill try that later
dry sierra
well do you have tiberium wars?
so we could try if we can connect with other people too
dry sierra
in a bit
dry sierra
okay lets test it
okay someone had a plublic lobby and it showed this
maybe it was a glitched lobby since there was only 1 guy

Sorry to jump in but me and my mate have been having the same issue for the last few weeks and gave up looking into it. Was it just using a VPN that fixed the issue for you and if so, did you both have to be on the same network for it to work?
dry sierra
just vpn i think

GG @dry sierra, you just advanced to level 3!
dry sierra
if you can get into lobbies but fail to connect its most likely the same problem i had
paper crystal
Yeah we only tested with two of us and had the same issue where we could get into the lobbies but couldn't start the game, we had both tried our own VPNs incase it was a NAT issue but didn't think to both be on the same VPN/network so will give that a go
dry sierra
wait so your friend can connect to the router at your house?
in that case play network
not online
