Dann lern Englisch oder benutz Google Translate. :roll: Ja. Hier ist Patch 1.006 für Alarmstufe Rot 2 auf Deutsch: http://www.mediafire.com/download/8hr707youymf251/RA21006DE.EXE Hier ist Patch 1.001 für Yuris Rache auf Deutsch: http://www.mediafire.com/download/j94yyzm4atonalg/YURI-1001-GERMAN.EXE Aber, wenn du C&C: Die Erste 10 Jahre oder C&C: The Ultimate Collection hast, du hast auch diese Patches automatisch.

Moreover, when playing the game on Windows, using the obligatory Windows 98 compatibility mode disables all processor cores except for one automatically, so even considering running the game on multiple cores (except you're testing or working on a fix) is against all advice.

If you're serious, you are a total retard. Begone, pitiful attention seeker.

Someone said InstallShield 3? There's a rather simple solution that may work - make an ISO of a program or game that uses IS3 and replace its Setup.exe with the one in this thread. IS5 solutions are also there.

You shut your provocative mouth.

You can go to the Cncnet5 folder in your RA2 directory and remove or rename the .wav file.

That just sounds like a meaningless bureaucracy festival. Luckily, that stuff is rarely endorsed when it comes to abandonware.

Get the Tiberian Technologies 4.2 client from here: http://www.tiberiantechnologies.org/downloads Run the game in compatibility mode for WinXP SP3 or Win98, and always, always, always run the game and its config exe as administrator. Or turn off the UAC in Windows. Also, disable Origin for all TUC games and use the fixed launchers: http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/

The only site I've seen that dislikes linking to abandonware is CNCNZ.com. Others either tolerate it or encourage asking through PMs (e.g. older games like NHL 2004 have devoted modding communities, but the game is no longer sold, so admins deal it through PMs).

Attention-seeking bastards who hack to get an advantage over other players of a gorram video game are a waste of oxygen.

Why do you think hacking is a brag-worthy thing? Every hacker, to the last one, is a moron unworthy of anyone's attention (except that of the banhammer-wielding dudes).

A game will be considered abandonware if the game is unsupported and can no longer be bought for about 10-15 years. The last patches for the games were seen in 2001, but RA2 and YR can still be bought easily through The Ultimate Collection. So to answer your question - when TUC stops being sold and/or EA drops dead without selling the franchise to someone first.

You can try and ask the people on Revora. They're specialized on hosting gaming-related project sites (C&C, BFME, Petroglyph games etc.) and I doubt they'd mind Castlevania material. Info on hosting: http://revora.net/hosting Contact person: Phil

Pretty good stuff

Ever thought of clicking the sidebar button in the top right?

IIRC, that requires some Westwood server coding that not even XWIS could obtain for some reason.

It can. If you disable Origin for every individual game of TUC and use the fixed launchers by Bibber, you'll have mod compatibility and parameter functionality for all TUC games. http://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/

Oh, and I don't know how SafeDisc incompatibility holds ground, as I've managed to somehow get YR to work before I decided to reinstall, albeit choppy as hell. Right now, a window does appear, but hangs as soon as it forms.

I think you need to have TFD to access them. I only have them all because something prevented the temporary files from being removed or the patcher was misled that I had all games installed (when I only had Generals and Zero Hour). Nyer, can we use these, pretty please?

That seems to be correct for SafeDisc v2 which RA2/YR uses, but not quite for SecuROM, at least not v5. I have some SecuROM-protected games that work nicely, including but probably not limited to: - RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 (2002) - Chris Sawyer's Locomotion (2004) - The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II (2006) - The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II: The Rise of the Witch-King (2006) - Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (2007) - Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath (2008) - Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (2008) And no, CNCNZ.com never hosted any no-CD cracks apart from those that exist inside the TFD 1.03 rev4 patch. We can negotiate a release of those, though.

Certainly. You will need these registry files (will explain in the installation process): http://www.mediafire.com/download/muay17saabwan3b/PW_RA2YR_regadd.zip PART 1: RED ALERT 2 (VANILLA) 1) Insert either the Allied or the Soviet RA2 disc. 2) Go to the INSTALL folder and copy its content to a folder that will be your RA2 directory. 3) In the INSTALL folder, open Game1.cab with WinRAR and extract its content in your RA2 directory. 4) In my registry file ZIP, place one file inside your RA2 directory: -- if you have a 32-bit system, use PW_RA2_regadd32.reg -- if you have a 64-bit system, use PW_RA2_regadd64.reg ---- Do NOT run them yet. 5) Open your file (whichever it is) with Notepad. 6) Wherever you see "InstallPath", place your RA2 directory path, which is different from mine. -- IMPORTANT NOTE: When you want to make a \ mark to indicate moving from one folder to another, make two \\ 's. Do not forget to do so. 7) In the one entry that says "Serial", replace "INSERT SERIAL" with your serial number from your RA2 box without the dashes. 8 ) Save the registry file and run it. Click OK. 9) Patch RA2 to 1.006. Here's the link to all languages: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/80c7bs0qtycs7/Red_Alert_2_patches You have now installed Red Alert 2. I haven't been able to get it to run, so you're kinda on your own there. PART 2: YURI'S REVENGE 1) Insert the YR disc. 2) Go to the INSTALL folder and copy its content to your RA2 directory. 3) In the INSTALL folder, open Game1.cab (you don't need the others, the first one will extract files from all of them despite the error messages) with WinRAR and extract its content in your RA2 directory. 4) In my registry file ZIP, place one file inside your RA2 directory: -- if you have a 32-bit system, use PW_YR_regadd32.reg -- if you have a 64-bit system, use PW_YR_regadd64.reg 5) Open your file (whichever it is) with Notepad. 6) Wherever you see "InstallPath", place your RA2 directory path, which is different from mine. -- IMPORTANT NOTE: When you want to make a \ mark to indicate moving from one folder to another, make two \\ 's. Do not forget to do so. 7) In the one entry that says "Serial", replace "INSERT SERIAL" with your serial number from your YR box without the dashes. 8 ) Save the registry file and run it. Click OK. 9) Patch YR to 1.001. Here's the link to all languages: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/ai5r75v8eo6yl/Yuri's_Revenge_patches You have now installed Yuri's Revenge. I haven't gotten far with it either.

You can try this: http://cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?topic=4296.msg31975#msg31975 Before reinstalling, all I could do with that myself was get YR to run somewhat laggy, but not RA2.

Grant, you are linking to a YR-only multiplayer client. That's not a full solution to not being able to install RA2 OR YR AT ALL because Win10 breaks the setup executable. Read the gorram thread before copypasting.

Same problem here, also using Red Strike. I'm trying to figure out how to modify the registry addition file that comes with EA's release of Tiberian Sun to work out a manual installation method. No luck so far, the 1.006 patcher for RA2 doesn't recognize my registry stuff :/ EDIT: Things are progressing, will do what I can very soon to distribute an installation method. The files will be different for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Win10. The registry is now read properly for RA2, moving on to YR. EDIT 2: Managed to make both recognized in the registry, but am completely unable to launch either game. RA2.exe, game.exe, gamemd.exe and YURI.exe don't run no matter what I do to them, while RA2MD.exe manages to launch on a window, but hangs as soon as it appears.
