SWR Productions Forum _ Support Forum _ Why does the game fails to load when SWR.NET is enabled? What is the port number? etc.

Posted by: the_wrecker 2 Apr 2015, 15:16

Hi everyone,

I installed the 1.85 version yesterday and I'm enjoying it very much! Thank you developers for making this great game live on.

What I can't do is connect to SWR.NET.

When the button is off, the game loads and everything is fine, but when it's on, it just says 'loading' endlessly.

I installed everything how I should've, even the SWR.NET update. But it still fails to load the game.

Which port number do I need to put in? The one that's already there or?
Is there a need for 'direct contact'?

Any advice..? I'd really like to start playing this game online.. finally biggrin.gif
Is there sth else related to SWR.NET that I need to know for this game.

I'm using Win7, win firewall is up, and Nod32 antivirus is up.

When I open C&C Generals, or Zero Hour and I go to multiplayer, it just downlaods some kind of an update, but never installs it. It's the same with RoTR.

Thanks in advance!

you have to start the launcher with admin permissions and if you want to know the port you just have to click on the configure button and you can literately set what port you need to forward.

Thx, I solved it, I can connect now. But now when I go to multiplayer, it says searching for update (for Zero hour), and when it downloads it, it exits the game to update, but the update window never appears.

What kind of other update do I need to play it online?

I ran into problems trying to install Zero hour 1.04 update, so I just installed RoTR over 1.0.

Could this be a problem?

Okay, first thing first. Before installing RotR 1.85, make sure the base game version is 1.04. Second, in the options menu make your your LAN IP starts with 10. And then, go to Multiplayer and then Network. Not Online.

Mine has a huge problem, even though I did all of that, I can't still see anyone in the lobby.

I Launched the Internal Build Launcher (1.87[.2.0]), With Admin permission or "Run as Administrator", Everything is fine but i have the exact error, It's "Loading" continuously without showing me how many players online, My Firewall for Public and Private ones are active too, But my router is in the Public Firewall, I also Allowed every app related to the /SWRNET/ sub-folder to access only public networks (my router and internet connection), Any solution for this please? And if OS on my windows 10 matters, It's 64-bit.

Hmm, So maybe that's why there have been no new livestreams these days? Well, If it's going to be back online, What is the estimated time?

for quite a while, however there are still streams, as were all using Radmin vpn to play multiplayer, games and streams are announced on the community discord.
