I use Real Red, dont know anything about Der Ost Front.

Try using compatibility mode on the patch file.

Try rightclicking on the patch file and use the compatibility mode that Windows proposes.

I had a problem while installing the patch too and I solved it this way, but I am not sure if that was the error message I was getting.

Once again I greet the community.

I remembered both CC3 and CC5, I have them installed in my pc now and I'll be checking gameranger for games, under the name PanzerAlexander.
I hope we 'll play some games

A small update. I discovered that I can join games normally and you can find me in Gamespy on evenings.

I just cannot host games.

See you on the field.

Thanks for your answer Mooxe.
I did try comp mode and I get the Direct Player error (only in mp because in single player it's ok I can play normally).
If I remove comp mode the game will launch in mp but it becomes unplayble due to choppy framerate. So it's a dead end really unless some can think of a way to go around this problem.

To resume :

Comp mode in mp---------> The game wont launch and I get a Direct Player error

No comp mode in mp------ > The game will launch, it will connect with opponent but it's unplayble

I tried to connect with a friend of mine for the first time and this is what we encountered.

We were using GameRanger. The host could not launch CC5 in win98 comp mode because of an error form DirectPlay helper. Without comp mod the host launched the game without problems but then the known issue with choppy map scrolling and slow responses from units occured which made gaming impossible. At the same time, the guest was running win 98 comp and had no prob playing!

We both tried hosting with the same results. So it's either an error from DirectPlay helper or a choppy gameplay for the host.

I browsed the posts but did not find anyone with the same problem.

I downloaded Battle HQ and noticed an option that turns off Directplay Helper but I havent tested it yet.

Any one can help?

Thanks ,Alexander

Update : Battle HQ did not work either. I will try Hamachi tomorrow I hope it will do better.

Thanks to Polemarchos help I will be dusting off my CC5. See you online soon

Hello to CC community

I am an old CC player and I decided to get my CC3 out of the shelf again. However I would like some instructions for the steps I need to take to get my CC3 retail CD to the latest patch and the popular mod. I used to play RR back in the days of 2004 and I do not know if it's still played. Thanks Alexander
