Tiberian Sun online, I can't play the game online Options

[Scorch]

After many failed attempts to play Tiberian Sun online, I resorted to coming here.


At the Firestorm main menu, I click Internet to connect. I go through the process of "blah blah use of trainers blah..." and a pop-up, well, pops up, telling me that it is searching for a patch. At that point, another screen pops up informing me that it could not connect, and that I should restart as it is probably my connection to the internet that is at fault.

I know this is not so, my connection to the internet is excellent. The computer I am playing the game on is a little slow itself, but that should not the problem as it is just a little stupid. It works moderately, and should not be the problem.


Maybe I will have to install the game on my other computer, but it is brand new, and I don't want to, you know what I mean, screw it up somehow.


Suggestions?

So will I. I think there's been one or two topics like this, but whatever.

A friend of mine also has the same problem, even though his game version is 2.03 (You can download the latest patch from Westwood's FTP, ftp.westwood.com). It throws the update thing not only in normal TS, but also in modifications (like DTA).

Would be nice to know how the game checks if the current version is the latest of not

EDIT: A few minutes ago the FTP got filled with some EA stuff...
