Command Post - General

How do I install Command Post?

Simply run the installer which you can download from here: http://kw-uploads.net/cp


What is the purpose of Command Post, and what problems does it address?

Command Post is a one-stop portal for managing Replays, Custom Maps, Mods/Patches, and Mod Maps for KW. It addresses the problem of sharing and managing non-transferable game content and ensures your maps and mods are always updated to the latest versions. It also supports replay analysis, automated tournaments, match history, player statistics, ladders, and VPN servers for LAN play.


I know of Replays, Custom Maps or Patches... but what exactly are Mod Maps?

Mod Maps are enhanced Custom Maps that allow adding or modifying game assets directly into maps, enabling features without switching patches. Command Post simplifies the process of installing, updating, and managing Mod Maps.


Is this a replacement for C&C-Online/Revora to play multiplayer games?

No, Command Post is not a replacement or affiliated with C&C-Online/Revora. You still need C&C-Online/Revora to play online. However, Command Post provides VPN services for LAN multiplayer.


Can uploaded replays or mods on Command Post be shared by links?

Yes, Command Post lets you copy links for any uploaded content and share them. Pasting these links in the Command Post search bar or a web browser will direct the user to the specific content.


I want to create my own mappack with changes applied from the 1.02+ Patch. Is this possible via Command Post?

Yes! Command Post's ModMap Builder allows you to compile mappacks using downloadable asset packs and integrate changes like 1.02+ updates, weather effects, or new crystals.


How does Command Post's player rank/ladder system work?

Ladders for 1v1 and 2v2 are available for both online and network modes. Matches count for ranking only if all players use Command Post. 1v1 ladders use ELO points calculation.


Does Command Post require an Internet connection to work?

Internet is required for updated content and most features, but local files like replays and installed patches are viewable offline.


Phone notifications from Command Post... that's a thing?

Yes, if you enable notifications for the website on your phone browser and are a registered Command Post user, you can receive notifications.


Command Post - Troubleshooting

Command Post fails to download a 'metadata' file at launch or on clicking Refresh, and shows that it is in 'Offline Mode'.

Most likely your anti-virus (e.g., Windows Defender) is blocking it. Check Controlled Folder Access settings and add Command Post as an exception.


Command Post doesn't start up at all, OR returns a .NET Framework error.

Ensure that .NET Framework 4.5 or higher is installed. Also, anti-virus may block it, requiring whitelisting and reinstalling Command Post.


I installed Command Post but can't see it running.

Command Post minimizes to the system tray by default. Click the tray icon to restore it. Right-click for more options.


I can't create an account on Command Post! It says my account has already been registered by a different user.

Command Post does not allow duplicate accounts; if you already have an account, use the 'Forgot Password' option. If you don't have an account already, you might have been blacklisted. Contact the admin on the Command Post Discord here: https://discord.gg/vcEaQaR


I get an 'Illegal Access' error when trying to Register or clicking Refresh.

Reset WMI repository using 'winmgmt /resetrepository' command in Admin CMD, then restart PC. For help, contact Command Post Discord.


The 'Start Game' button on Command Post doesn't seem to work.

Launching from Command Post is optional. You can launch the game through Steam/Origin or shortcuts.


Command Post spams notifications when I receive private messages or updates. Can I disable it?

Yes, right-click the tray icon to toggle Notifications or set 'Minimal Notifications' in Options.


I constantly get a 'Failed to access path, check permissions' error/notification from Command Post. How can I get rid of it?

Ensure Command Post has write access to Documents\CommandPost. Adjust folder permissions or reinstall Command Post.


How do I play on Command Post VPN?

Go to 'VPN Servers' tab, install OpenVPN, and connect to a server. Then play using Network mode in-game.


I'm connected on Command Post's VPN server. However, I can't see my friend in the Network lobby.

Try reinstalling OpenVPN. VPNs sometimes have connectivity issues that aren't always resolvable.


Command Post isn't showing any of my multiplayer matches or replays, or I get a 'invalid nickname' error.

Use Command Post's Troubleshooter Tool under Help to detect and fix registry issues causing these problems.


Command Post - Security/Anti-Virus

Command Post is classified as a malware/Trojan by my Anti-Virus. Is it true?

No, this is a false detection. Command Post is a clean, safe application.


My Browser/Google Chrome blocks the Command Post download link. What can I do?

You can temporarily disable Chrome security or switch to Standard Security mode to complete the download.


Windows Defender just blocked Command Post and/or removed it from my PC. How can I restore it?

Go to Windows Defender Protection History Restore the blocked/quarantined file. If that fails, reinstall Command Post.


Which folders of my computer does Command Post have access to?

Command Post can access your game installation folder, game documents, Command Post documents, and maps/mods folders only.


Command Post is classified as a 'Wacatac' Trojan by my Anti-Virus. Is it true?

False detection. Command Post reads hardware identifiers to prevent duplicate accounts but is safe.


My anti-virus says Command Post is potentially a Crypto-mining tool. Is it true?

False. Command Post uses checksum calculations and indexing which may be mistaken as mining activity, but it is not malicious.


My anti-virus says Command Post is potentially a BitTorrent/uTorrent Bundler. Is it true?

False. Command Post allows ZIP file extraction and automatic updates but does not distribute torrents.


My anti-virus says Command Post is potentially a 'GameTool/Hack' trojan. Is it true?

False. Command Post reads replay/match info and modifies some game settings but does not hack or cheat.


Game Issues

My game crashes when trying to go Online. How to fix this?

Install the C&C Online Tacitus Launcher. If the issue persists, try changing your online nickname or create a new profile.


I can get online but cannot connect to other players, despite my internet connection being fine.

Use a VPN service to resolve router/ISP-related connectivity issues. Command Post VPN is only for LAN play.


I have the 1.02+ Patch installed and enabled, but the rooms online seem grayed out so I can't join them.

Most online players use vanilla 1.02. Disable patches and ensure 1.02+ Mappacks are installed to join rooms.


I have no patches/mods enabled, but the rooms online still seem grayed out.

You might be running EA's 1.03 patch. Set your game version to 1.02 using Command Post's Game Launch Options.


I have One Vision Mod enabled under Command Post's Patches tab, but it still launches the vanilla game.

Likely due to running EA/Official 1.03 Patch. Use Game Launch Options to set your version properly.
