CnC 3 and the SAGE engines horrid netcoding is back!

I don't know if any of you have tried to play CnC 3 online yet, but it seems EA's promises on the SAGE engine netcoding were full of hot air.

Just try playing a 2 vs 2/3 vs 3 and you will see what I mean, the game turn into a super lag fest and I've tried it a dozen or so times already! It certainly is not my computer(I run fraps when playing) and it's definitely not my 15MB download/2 MB upload!

 Heres an example of people talking about it http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=199178&tstart=30 

 1 vs 1's are fine for a while till the game desyncs which is another major problem :( 

I don't know who to blame, EA's net coding or Gamespy hosting it.  

The people at Gamereplays are saying the same thing, looks like a big problem

mine works fine, but ive only tried 1v1 so far. Maybe something screws up with more than 2 players per match or something.mrbojangles25

Look at EA's track record and then is what Iv come to expect as normal bussness for them... If you are all lucky you might get a patch or 2 that will fix it...But I would not get your hope us for it to ever work 100%... Death_Masta187

hahah so true, although you would think fixing netcode would be easy enough. 

this is really the same problem from C&C 1. everyone else learned how to fix it long ago. ElvisNixon

haha, my neighborhood didnt even have internet in 1995, and I know mine wasnt the only neighborhood.  Then I think when red alert came out we had to do direct connect where you actualy dialed the person's phone number to connect.

Gamespy is a horrible PoS for sure. Warhammer 40k Multiplayer I love, but if anything its not one of the best becaues of GAMESPY.. Every game thats 4v4 or even 3v3 alot of times its garenteed some one will drop in the game.sSubZerOo
