I've added the old sites work in progress graph that never really got seen. It still needs improving, and the stats it's reading is missing Mental Omega. Should fill the void for now. (When cache clears in a couple of hours)

How many clans are there on CnCNet across all supported games? You can usually tell, people usually put [ClanName]Nickname. How many can you name, or what ones have you seen recently?

Hello @JacksRevenge - the lobbies are merged already. Players can check the Play Red Alert 2 checkbox when creating a game, and this will identify as such in the lobby with an RA2 icon.

Hello - the below may or may not help you in this case. If you are experiencing slow or choppy gameplay whilst playing on CnCNet, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem. Install the CnCNet client This will look for your existing game directory. Once installed run CnCNetYRLauncher.exe or the shortcut supplied. Click "Options" Select "Display" and under the render options, select a new renderer. Commonly, TS-DDRAW works best. Click Save, and launch Skirmish. Play a game with the AI. If the gameplay is fast then this renderer will likely be the best for you. If it hasn't worked, repeat from step 5 until you find a renderer that works best with your system. Failing the above, ensure your video drivers are up-to-date. You are running a suitable resolution the game can handle.

Hello @VladisS - right click on a username in the lobby, and select Add Friend. You can see your friend list under private messages. Hope this helps

Hello - try downloading the latest installer. https://cncnet.org/red-alert-2

That's really strange and should not be happening. What version of the client are you running?

You are running a suitable resolution the game can handle. How can I tell if I'm lagging online? Network connection speed If your solo skirmish does not lag, it could point to a problem with your network. Run a speedtest at https://www.speedtest.net/. If your speed is anything below 2Mbps download, it's likely that your network is may struggle and be too slow. The solution is to use a wired connection, or try and improve your Internet speed. My network connection is fast but I still lag online Make sure you have patched your game installation with CnCNet and followed the above steps with renderer selections. When playing online, choose tunnel servers closest to your location. E.g. when hosting a game the client will automatically highlight a tunnel server closest to your location. If you pick a tunnel in Australia, and you're based in the UK London, this will cause lag/slow gameplay.

Unable to set Video Mode. Go into your Red Alert 2 folder, in there you will find "game.exe", "gamemd.exe" "ra2.exe", "gamemd-spawn.exe" and "ra2md.exe", right click -> properties -> compatibility, Enable "Reduced Color Mode: 16bit" Enable the "Disable Display Scaling on High DPI Settings" compatibility mode for all executables (see above) Set your game resolution to the same resolution as your desktop. Navigate to Client Options -> Display, and select the resolution and save. Ensure your video drivers are up to date.

CnCNet has been blocked by my anti-virus or is showing as a virus. If CnCNet has been blocked or flagged by your anti-virus there are a few things to note. Firstly, this warning is often nothing to worry about. Anti-virus software often flag new files as a false positive, mainly because they have discovered a new file on your system they haven't seen before. This is very common in software development, especially for small scale developers such as ourselves. Other ways a file could be flagged as a false positive is the way we protect the software from being decompiled. Some of our software is protected for reasons to keep CnCNet services safe and secure. Important steps you can take: You can remove this block by allowing it as an exception to your Antivirus firewall. Submit the file in question to a site such as Virus Total, where it will scan the file against other anti-virus definitions. You will probably find your anti-virus will be listed, among some of the others, but as a rule the ratio should be low, and this is fine. To help us stop these alerts, you can submit a report to your antivirus software company, they will scan the file in question that has been flagged, it will be reviewed and will come back as a false positive.

Thanks for the heads up, fixed the donate button. (Might take a little while to clear the cache)

@Speeder may be able to help you more with this. Failing that you can always try going to the official mental omega forums - https://forums.revora.net/forum/385-mental-omega-apyr/ (Try and look through their FAQ too)

Hello, Have you tried running as administrator? Also you could try moving your game directory from program files (which requires admin privileges) to Documents. I'm also moving this to the correct forum for support.

It was the server protecting its self from an attack. Should be fixed now.

Hello - depends on the game mode, if it's "Team Alliance" then it won't be possible. When in game press "tab". It should bring up the players in game. You can then un-check the orange box next to your team. Engineer your teams MCV. Re-check the orange box and your a team again. It's a bit of a cheeky way of getting an MCV back though

This is the first I've heard of any donation being categorized? If you donate via our site it goes into a pot that's used for payments not towards a specific cause.

@fir3w0rx that needs to be on the list too. Writing a spec for the quickmatch client is @hifi's department
