are you not hooking kanes wrath in the C&C online launcher?
install C&C online and open it>>>click hook>>check (put a tick) to Kanes wrath..then close C&C online and launch Kanes wrath the normal way..then C&C online launcher pops up click Kanes wrath on that and the game will load..

Local Multiplayer ...or LAN matches used to work. But then it just stopped working. Been playing local matches for years but now...nothing?

I don't understand.

Thanks anyway.

I've personally never been able to get my Command and Conquer games to launch once I've used the CNC Online client to hook them.

Whenever I use the client to hook my games, if I then try launching it normally, I get a generic Steam error with "an error occurred while updating *game name* missing executable".

If I click the game from the client it then gives a "*game name* failed to start error code 53".

I literally can't get the game to start while that client has them hooked. Once I unhook them from the client they work normally. I notice there's no way to set a game path so I'm not sure if it's even finding my games and properly hooking them. If it is, no idea why it doesn't work.

That being said it's fine so I gave up on it. They work via LAN which was the bigger priority. I'm not generally interested in normal online play; it was just so we could play from separate houses. I've even gotten Red Alert 2 working via LAN, which needs some sort of workaround for the old IPX method or whatever.

I'm getting the same issue, wish they would just bring back the live servers.
