Switching game version
The Tacitus Menu can be called inside the game itself by pressing CTRL+T
You can switch game version by going to the tab Chronoshift and select a different version.
Once the version is selected the game will close down and automatically restart on the selected version.
Everytime you restart the game it will start the default version, so you will have to use chronoshift everytime if you’d like to play a different version.

Upon login, the game says:
The specified account or sub-account wasn’t found.
Solution: Make sure you have set up a Server Login and that you’re using the right information to log in (you can check under My Account on the website).
- For C&C3 and Kane’s Wrath, your account name is the Server Login name displayed under My Account on the website.
When I try to log in, I get the following error:
user supplied an incorrect password.
Solution 1: This can be caused by two things. Most commonly this happens when you don’t use the C&C:Online Password but the password you used to create your Revora account. Make sure you use the Server Password displayed under My Account.
Solution 2: This has been reported to happen when the nickname you are attempting to use is too long.
Solution 3: It is possible that you may be using a Foreign Version of Windows, possibly trigger the wrong characters or keyboard layout while attempting to login.
Please log into the website and change the Server Account Password to numbers only and give it another try. If still out of luck and believe something might be wrong with your account, please make a support topic here for further assistance. (Credits to ToxicShock for figuring this out)
Upon login, the game says:
The specified Online ID or account name is already in use.
Solution: Your nickname has probably been reserved. You need to claim your old nicknames. Activating them takes some time. Read the pinned topics. It can also be that a different user already is using a profile with the name you tried to use, in this case you will have to settle on a different nickname.
– I have trouble connecting to people online (this seems to happen in RA3 the most)
Solution 1: If you have any VPNs running, make sure to either deactivate them or you can try to switch to the VPNs IP in the Game’s Network Options
Solution 2: Make sure that your firewall is not Blocking the C&C:Online Launcher, Your game or Gentool. (Google can help you find out how you can check if your firewall is blocking something)
Solution 3: [NOT FOR RA3] Port forwarding: If, when starting a game, your connection always times out, try this:
Lists of Ports that the Games use in case you need it:
Kane’s Wrath
Tiberium Wars
Generals
Zero Hour
Solution 5: Try opening your DMZ in your router settings. More information on how to do this can be found here.
For people using the TG799vn v2 Router have a look here -> http://forums.revora…ks-with-a-link/
If nothing works your only option is a VPN
Solution 6: A lot of ISP do not provide a public IPv4 address and are behind a CG-NAT
You not able to connect to other players if you are.
You can try to call your ISP and ask to upgrade to a public IPV4 address if possible, otherwise you need a VPN like Privado (Most VPNs do not works)

Kanes wrath 4gb auto-patch
This tool reduce the out of memory crash
The game can only use 2GB of ram because
of the limitation of 32bit.
Many players have game crash issues specially on custom maps, large maps or playing mods.
By installing this you increase the ram memory to 4GB.
If you use the 4K mod you do not need this because the 4K mod already has the 4gb patch included.
