Red alert 3 been trying to play lately but whenever playing multi halfway through game it just freezes and crashes making any multi unplayable. Wondering if this is a common issue or if there is a fix for this. Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Windows 7 64 bit OS.
 
Its just weird because I can play a single player just fine by myself but comes to multiplayer and that is when it freezes like halfway through,
 
I've played it through on single and coop through with the latest patch 1.12 about 2 weeks ago. RA3

64 bit win 7

Which campaign are you playing?
 
It totally freezes during multi halfway through yet can play reg campaign no issues. Only issue is multi. We are roomies and use the same net but it is the game freezes and have to ctrl+alt+del the program. When playing top secret protocol when hit seems to be the only issue that causes the crash. If I not used it seems to work good.

Are you sure no one has their game modded and everyone is using the same patch? IF someone is using a mod to adjust the stop secret protocols, I'm betting that could be the culprit.

When you say multi, are you referring to online, or network play? I've had a few glitches in network, but usually it straightens itself out after the first restart.

I also use the tecknogods mod for coop network campaign and while it it a bit finicky, once in the game, it's pretty stable.

How may players are you playing and are you positive it is all maps, and not just a specific one?
 
Yes all maps. Running stock maps stock settings nothing modified. Multi is referring to online game play with the room mate through internet. Just the 2 of us vs 2 computers we usually try. We are both on the same patch just checked to be sure. When it crashes and we restart another game the same issue just comes back up and happens again.
 
Are you on your own network? Try network play once and see if that has any problems.

If you're not on your own network, it might not be a problem on your end.
 
So when try a network game it wont show up. However other games network works fine. That is why I chose the internet way. I will try the compatibility mode and see if it has any changes.
 
Already tried to run as admin. Firewall for modem is setup to allow C&C through along with windows firewall. Running latest video drivers. This is the only game having the issues can play any other game I have just fine.
 
try it with your firewalls completely disabled, you and your friend. especially windows firewall...
 
Alright shall try this issue is just very annoying. I know the modem firewall was off when we tried but will try the windows firewall off next.
 
Well is anyone is interested Amazon has the complete 17 game collection for $17. It gets you early access to the beta for the new Command and Conquer.

RA2 > RA3
Fewer problems too.

True, I loved playing RA2 and still do every once and a while. I remember trying to figure out how to switch the config.ini file to mess around and corrupting the game and having to start all over.
