Hello all, I have just downloaded TS obviously wanting to play this game online, I followed all steps exactly to install and enable it to play online. One problem every time I attempt to connect online to a server I get an internal error. I have scourered the forums for a fix, I run the game in administrator mode, it isn't blocked by my firewall, I have downloaded the game twice just encase there was something corrupt in the first initial download.

If any one can add any light to my situation would help

EDIT: forgot to mention I am also running Windows 7, no idea if any other windows 7 users have had similar problems

Try http://xwis.net/downloads/WOLAPI-0.0.0.exe

If you're running Win7 64-bit, I ran into this same problem. Easy fix for this:

- Put your EA Games folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\
- Right click on Play Tiberian Sun, go to Properties
- Change the Target and Start In paths to include the "(x86)" in Program Files, they should look like this:
Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™\SUN\Game.exe"
Start In: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer™ Tiberian Sun™\SUN"

This fixes the Internal Error crash for me, now it will hang at the Connection box for 15 seconds and stop.

I have exactly the same problem and I tried the above options, but they didn't work. I'm currently running Windows 7 64 bit and I'm using the Free TS from EA. I'm not sure what to do with Olaf's file. Could someone please elaborate?

Thanks.

I am having the same problem, changing the target for the shortcut did not fix it. I'm also not sure what to do with that .exe. Please help! I'm running vista 64-bit. running as admin, no firewall. Even tried running with my router in DMZ and nothing works.

Running the exe might be a good idea...

I'm running windows7 64 bit too, I had the same issue but installed the WOLAPI-0.0.0 to my SUN folder and I now don't get the internal error when I log in, however I get a new problem that says my password is invalid, even though it is 8 letters long.

[crashnburn254]

Okay, fixed using WOLAPI-0.0.0.exe, thanks guys. Didn't know where to install it to.
