I have read many posts on this site about modifying the rules.ini file in TS to make changes to the game. I downloaded TS form CnCNet about a year ago, but I can't find a rules.ini file. Is it compiled now? I'd like to start experimenting with modding the game, but I seem to be stuck at the start. Can anyone tell me where the rules.ini file is located.

i love RA!!!

Oh well. Uninstalling all my security programs and disabling the firewall did not help. Something in the new CnCNet 5 doesn't like my Win8 configuration. Never had problems with the old version on Win8... Maybe someone will uncover something in the future. Thanks to all for the suggestions.

That would be a possibly except that I have the same security programs on the other two PCs that work fine. Except of course for the Windows 8 Firewall. I would think once turned off, that it would be really off, but I'll trying disabling and rebooting.

Well, I tried all three ports that are available from the login window. Results are the same; not able to connect. I turned off Windows Firewall, my antivirus s/w and anti-malware s/w; no luck either.

I downloaded "Red Alert 1 Installer" and installed it. When I launch Red Alert, the Game Lobby comes up, but it says "Connecting..." and nothing else happens after that. I have opened up the ports in the Window Firewall as instructed in another Forum post, but that did not help. I am running Windows 8. I installed Red Alert 1 on my two other PCs running Windows Vista and everything works fine, so my router must be okay. We were previously running the old game lobby on all 3 PCs in my house without any problems. Anyone have any ideas.
