Command and Conquer 3

I tried playing some games with shock tonight and problems with connecting seem to be getting worse.

I probably should make this in the Revora forum but anyway...the Revora server has been really poor recently.

Several times i need to click log-in before it eventually it might let me on. Then after i get online often it won't display games or the "create game" button is faded.

Are there any other more reliable servers ?

Due to the lack of players i don't really play with anyone else other than shock anymore so i am not bothered about switching to another server if its available even if it has 0 players 24/7.

I use steam so i'd need a server that supports that too.

Thanks

Thank you for that. Gamereplays is supporting the C&C:Online service but if you can find a service that better emulates the old GameSpy service then good luck to you. Some of us have spent literally hundreds of hours of our time developing and maintaining the new service over the last few months, so if you can find a service that suits you better, then good luck and have fun and, of course, thank you for your support.

When it works, revora is great. Problem is that recently (especially yesterday) it has been completely unplayable. Is anything been done at the moment to improve the amount of downtime?

Yes. Resources are not being released after a player logs in and off. Eventually, that results in all of the available connection and file "handles" being locked, so nobody else can log in. That is why we restart the server; to release the dead handles. We are presently unable to understand why those resources are not being released when they ought to be. Once we figure that out, we won't need to restart.

any good?

That's interesting back ground reading on the general problem; thank you. Unfortunately, the problem here (as I understand it) may be a little more exotic.

Toxic, you told me one day that you were lawyer right ? so, how can u be so goo0ood in informatic/computer/servers etc... loul???
I don't get it oO

Toxic, If you have problems about server, maybe you can ask them to C&C programmer Bibber, he is a great programmer. His profile link on United Forum, he is still active on there.

Also maybe v0ddy can help for that too. He was studying computer science. I saw him on petroglyph forums.

Bibber comes to GR from time to time. He also made the TUC launcher fix.

Wait, v0ddy is on Petroglyph forums without stopping by here? How rude.

Trust me, I'm a lawyer! Phil, who wrote the core server code is also a lawyer. Lawyers are everywhere.

V0ddy comes there sometimes also

Actually I looked his profile and he was online there too:

I did mean, if you cannot find him there you can also look at the Petroglyph. Btw I think Petroglyph is also better choice for him because he switched to the Universe at War and he is now no longer playing TW or KW anymore.

From what I understood, nobody plays UaW seriously anymore, and it's been like that for years

Whatever. I just tried to help you by giving these programmers, that I know, who is capable of fixing the problem.
