BiosNova Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Is anybody else having issues inviting/joining a friends game for CO-OP? No matter how many times we try we get an error stating that you could not join the host. The weird thing is that if we meetup in one house, it will work instantly when we are on the same network. Just not over the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The servers for this game have been garbage since launch so it wouldn't surprise me if they have gone completely kaput. This problem isn't unheard of, because Drawn to Death and another game I can't remember, had the same issue (at least at one point they did) so all you could do was play in LAN mode. Red Alert 3 is one of those games that can be very funny about friends lists with more than 75-100 people on it so try culling some people from the list and try again but if that doesn't work, then you're stuffed. EA dropped this game like a hot brick so don't expect them to even remotely care about the connection issues . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totallycrushed Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 It’s the same with Mercenaries 2. Both parties have to be in the same network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiosNova Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 Damn thats fustrating. It used to work a couple of months ago then it just refused to connect us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonemankane Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Yeah that happen to me and a friend. we were just going to play it for fun but we couldn't so we just kind of left it to the side. all EA servers are crap unless it is something like. medal of honor or battlefield even then it is a question of if it will work mostly in terms of what can happen to mess up something your doing.

BiosNova Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 I actually found a solution for myself. Since it is only one friend I'm playing with, I managed to route internet through my laptop to my PS3 and VPN to his home network. It now connects us and plays just fine. Still I imagine the RA3 servers are just sat in a dusty corner not having been looked at for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
