CnC Source - Your #1 Source For Everything Command and Conquer

-- New Forum Theme -- Posted On 22 May 2008
They say if you want something done you have to do it yourself and that's pretty true with regards to our forum skin. No one has done anything about the skin since we upgraded the forum software more than a year ago. (The old skin wasn't compatible with the new software.) As I mentioned at the end of the Red Alert 3 Trailer news post I've been working on a new blue theme myself. I've just made it available to registered members. Members can change their forum skin using the dropdown menu at the bottom left of the forums. It's still a work in progress so some of the colors and images don't match. ~~When it is complete it will be set as the default forum theme. Until then guests won't be able to view it.~~ I changed my mind. It's the default now and will continue to be edited until it is finished.

Community - GameReplays Competitions -- Posted On 8 November 2008

Gamereplays.org is currently hosting 3 competitions.

First up is a CnC Generals 1v1 Double Elimination Tournament. The winner will receive a GR tournament medal and of course be crowned as king! The tournament will be held this Sunday, the 9th of November 2008 at 07.00 PM GMT. Follow the link for rules.

The second two contests are Red Alert 3 related and both have some sexy swag from Razer as prizes.

AgmLauncher explains how you can get said swag:

QUOTE (AgmLauncher)

The first way is a simple replay competition. All you have to do is post replays. The more you post, and the more they are wubbed, the more points you get. The other way is a videocast competition. All you have to do is record a video of a live match or a replay, upload it to Youtube, WeGame, or any other video hosting site, and then post it here. Both competitions will run from November 6th to November 30th.

Follow the link for rules and info. Good luck commanders!

Red Alert News - Apoc Comments on Serial Issues -- Posted On 30 October 2008

There have been reports that some users have been unable to get online with RA3 due to "invalid keys" and that others have received game manuals with keys that are only 19 characters long instead of 20.

Apoc comments:

QUOTE (Apoc)

Hey everyone,

Too many multiple threads for me to reply in, so here is the official word on BOTH serial key issues right now.

SERIAL KEY ISSUE #1 - My key says it is invalid and I cannot get online

There were a small amount of keys in the early distribution which were not pre-loaded in to our backend, thus that is why it's tell you it is invalid. This is a similar issue we experienced during the Beta Test. This will be resolved by the end of day TODAY. By tonight, or at latest tomorrow morning, anyone experiencing this particular issue should be able to get online without a problem. Many of you may not even experience this.

SERIAL KEY ISSUE #2 - My manual has 19 digits instead of 20 for the serial key

To our misfortune, another small set of the first run of manuals misprinted the serial keys, leaving one digit off. Our Customer Support team will be posting a simple FAQ proces at help.commandandconquer.com where you can contact them and they will quickly help you fix your key.

However, there is a quick workaround if you do not want to go through that process.

The last digit of your serial key will either be a number from 0 - 9 or a letter from A - Z. Using a quick proces of elimination, simply type a number or letter at the end of the serial key until it activates. There is a maximum of 36 possible entries, so it's likely you'll hit the correct number or letter before then. It's not the most glamorous workaround, but its quick and painless and will save you some time from contacting Customer Support if you don't wish to do that.

We apologize for these two serial key issues. Both were absolutely out of our hands and while seemingly unacceptable, we hope you can understand. For most of you, this should not be an issue by tomorrow, especially when everyone starts getting online. Any more updates on critical issues or any of the above, I'll keep you posted.

-APOC
