You have to give me a lot more.
can’t play map packs? what map pack?
where do you play online?
What error do you get?
Is it the dvd, steam or EA app version of the game ?
maybe some screenshots?

I just helped some one today on Linux.
To fix the Serial key is already in use in use all you need to do is edit the reg key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Electronic Arts\Electronic Arts\Command and Conquer 3 Kanes Wrath\ergc

than edit the value data %CDKEY% to any 20 digi number will work, example: QUPXTVNCXDAR8XDGURLD

———–

And last step is deleting script installscript.vdf

SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Command and Conquer 3 - Kane's Wrath\installscript.vdf

Steam keeps recreating the %CDKEY% because of that installscript.
Deleting it solve it.

This only affects Lan game, not online game through revora as far as i know.

Where do you have the game from?
Steam, DVD or EA app ?

Do you have Tacitus installed?

If you have Tacitus installed you can downgrade to 1.2 with chronoshift, see video below

Do not use Network in multiplayer settings but use Online.
Do not use hamachi VPN thats for making a private network.
For CNC-online Tacitus you connect to the revora server.
You need a public IPV4 address in order to connect.

I believe you can execute the .exe file with Protontricks
But you can also install the R23z files manually to your folder.
Can be downloaded here

Its probably a compatibility issue if the desyncs happen within the first minute.
Because recently a new version of R23 was released.
In 30 minutes we release an update for the arcade mappack.
We just released R23z a few minutes ago.

If it desyncs happen after 10 minutes or more it’s probably caused by something else.
In that case i need more information on what map it happens and around what time desyncs occure.

But most likely its befcause some one else has a different R23 version that conflicts with F07 Arcade.
Update will be released soon, today.

[Yourhorse]

Not just for Steam, but also for the EA app.

But you can add any key you like. It doesn’t have to be valid; just a 20-character line of your choice is sufficient for those who wanna play LAN.

Try ingame press the keys CTRL+T and select UseAltPeerChatPort

[Yourhorse]

Yes it should work for Tacitus as wel

[Yourhorse]

You all should have the same R23 version as wel.
Anyway, within an hour a new update of Arcade will be released that fix any compatibility issues.
Anyway if you like to check if you have the same version as your friend goto your install folder

\Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath\Patch103

Check the file date of

102Scripts.big

If anyone has a different “date modified” it will cause desyncs

[Yourhorse]

Many are using steam and Edge so im pretty sure it has nothing to do with Windows edge. You are not the only one, there are more who experience crashes and there is not always a simple answer.

For some a clean windows installation solved it and for some it does not, if your game still crash often it has likely to do with drivers or hardware.

[Yourhorse]

Could you tell what kind of GPU / graphic card you are using?

Please keep us posted if any issue occurs 👍

Well seems like the 4K is causing your issue. be aware the game will crash if you keep spamming units especially in 95% handicap mode.

The game itself has no unit cap but the engine can only handle so much. if you creat 300 or more units and press the Q button the game will crash.

But in real player vs player games this is never really an issue.

You could try to install the 4K mod without the option Enable Reshade CAS.fx Sharpening.
Just disable all options and only leave enabled the option install 4K add-on

If it still crash play the game without the add-on
