There are reports that the client must be launched as admin. We are currently going to rollback to 8.32.0. The same installer link should work: https://downloads.cncnet.org/CnCNet5_YR_Installer.exe

Can you also try using the installer? https://downloads.cncnet.org/CnCNet5_YR_Installer.exe

# Client Release 9.0 ## Client Updates This is a major update behind the scenes in that the client is now built on .NET7 framework. This means that the client is no longer compatible with older operating systems like Windows XP. You must be on Windows 7 SP1 or later. **Please try to re-install if the update fails:** https://downloads.cncnet.org/CnCNet5_YR_Installer.exe ## End-User Requirements Windows requirements: * The [.NET 7.0 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/7.0/runtime) for your specific platform.

The installer uses Inno Setup. We've recently updated the installer to Inno 6 (from 5) which no longer supports Windows XP... As Grant also said, the client itself is on the cusp of moving to .Net7 which also no longer supports Windows XP... Had to make the push sometime. It was a good run.

@Sam-I-amis absolutely correct. This feature is working exactly as intended. The "Block this location from being assigned to a player" setting blocks the AUTO ALLY function from assigning that location. It doesn't block a player from manually assigning that location. That is only done by checking/enabling "Force Random Starts". The instructions that you screenshotted actually describe this:

@Sam-I-amthanks for this. I've logged it as an issue: https://github.com/CnCNet/xna-cncnet-client/issues/448

Open the Cncnet launcher, use it to change to renderer, then close and open the single player launcher.

The Cncnet client can help with that. It installs a few fixes and allows you to use a different renderer to fix some of the glitches. https://cncnet.org/yuris-revenge#download This will install the Cncnet client. You will NOT use it to play the single player campaign. Instead, you can use it to simply launch and change your renderer. Then, you would go back to the normal launcher to play in campaign. The Cncnet client is otherwise used to play online. Download and install the Cncnet client to your game's install path Start the Cncnet client Go to Options and change your renderer to cnc draw Close the Cncnet client Open the normal Ra2 client/launcher Try playing the campaign If it works ok, you're good to go. If not, try to repeat step 3 and try the TS draw renderer. If you need more immediate help, you can always try the Discord here: https://discord.gg/aJRJFe5 Good luck!

What about the "Red Alert 2" checkbox above it? That should be unchecked, too.

Do you have the "No Yuri/No France" checkbox checked?

https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-the-ultimate-collection The game list on this store listing still includes RA2.

Open the cncnet client and change renderers in the options. Close the cncnet client and open YR normally to play the campaign. I can't say for sure which renderer will work for you as different machines have different results. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, you cannot buy only RA2. You have to buy the whole collection. https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/command-and-conquer/command-and-conquer-the-ultimate-collection

I would try a different renderer. You can find it in the options window.

@Watchertry to accept the invite again. We had someone clean up some obsolete bans on the server. Assuming it is an IP ban, hopefully one of them was the culprit. I would answer your question here directly, but I simply don't know it. Hopefully someone on the Cncnet Discord can help you.

There's no ban on your nick. I would try to search Google about it. There are some reddit threads where people found solutions. Some stuff about IP addresses or using incognito mode if using a browser.

What is your Discord name? I'll ask an admin to check for a ban or something.

What exactly is the problem that you're seeing when you click the link?

Fwiw... The reason why the installer wasn't working was because it was built with a newer version of InnoSetup, a version no longer compatible with XP. When attempting to reproduce the issue on a virtual instance of XP, I was having a hard time even getting a browser capable of being installed on XP and IE simply wasn't working to access any sites. I had to download Firefox v52 to get to cncnet.org to download the installer where the latest of Firefox is v101. Like I said, it's definitely not a "drastic" decision to promote the upgrade. It's simply becoming increasingly difficult to remain compatible with XP when not much else is anymore...

Please try installing using the following installer: https://downloads.cncnet.org/CnCNet5_YR_Installer_noxna.exe This installer should skip attempting to download the xna redistributable listed previously.

I was able to get WinXP SP3 up on a virtual machine and test the latest installer. It does launch, but attempting to download those files also fails for me. I also installed those two things manually, but it still prevents me from moving forward. I'm not sure what the issue is there. Let me see if I can do something to the installer to get you around that issue.
