Hi,
me and my friend are trying to play generals online but we both keep getting an error message saying the servers cant be found. We have both played the game online yesterday and it worked fine. Have the servers been shut down due to the new C&C?

any information is much appreciated :)

I doubt EA shut down the servers, they are most likely just down for a short while. It happens every now and then for maybe a few hours.

The C&C 3 servers are not working either.

EA is not responding to any support requests about this currently.

I believe the RA2 multiplayer servers are now powered by XWIS (http://xwis.net/ ) run by Strike Team (http://strike-team.net/ ) so they should not be affected by the GameSpy (Generals, ZH, C&C 3) server downtime.

EA is aware of the issue. Please see APOC's post here: http://forums.ea.com/mbo...adID=220265&tstart=0

I just remembered, didn't EA said they were going to have server maintenance every monday? Or was that for the C&C3 servers only?

Please see this related frontpage news post: http://www.cncgeneralswo...comments.asp?NewsID=1550

EA is working on the issue as we speak. I imagine they will try to fix the issue today. From an email from APOC:

Our tech service team has been on the case and we will get this sorted out immediately.

Edit: @ Krit - I'm not positive about the maintenance window to which you refer, but this issue started yesterday morning and was entirely unexpected.

Edit @ 1:45 PM EST: Online play servers are back online: http://www.cncgeneralsworld.com/#n1551
