I can't make games anymore. When I create a game I starts loading but when you are supposed to enter the game the screen turns black and in a minute iI get the d\c screen.

Can anyone help me out, when I join games it's no problem. It has started today and I have never had this before. I have already reinstalled the game.

there isnt really much u can do. reinstalling doesnt work. i have the same problem now on my dads computer since yesterday :( sl8 used to have a problem like this since back in November and he still does have a problem. IMO, worth a shot to try tech support unless someone else that has the same problem can help.

From westwood's support database:

Be sure you have a stable internet connection. Also, if you have a Firewall or Router please open the standard WOL ports. You will need to enable some ports to UDP traffic in order to communicate with Westwood Online. Ports 1234, 1235, 1236, and 1237 should allow UDP traffic. Also, ports 7000, 3840, 4005, 4808, and 4810 will need to be opened for all TCP traffic. If you do not know how to configure your firewall, please consult your firewall documentation, contact your system administrator, or contact your Internet service provider.
