Thanks for the replies!
When I get to the point of installing the CnCNet update that is when I get the Kaboooom notice that the installation has failed, thanks for the YouTube tutorial since that made me feel a little better about the fact that I didn't do something stupid to upset it. Since I repurchased the game through the EA Origins app I figured the link to the Steam version will not help me, hope I'm not wrong on my assumption.
Found the specific ini file and changed the settings but did not help me. The resolution I put into was 5120x1440, is that way too high? Should I try another value? Maybe half both numbers? The weird thing is before EA updated the game RA2 was running at my native resolution just fine with the same Kabooom error with the CnCNet update patch. I'm not sure on how I got the game to list my specific resolution but it was available within the game menu options to change my resolution to almost any resolution I wanted, that's what is strange about all this.... at least to me.
Appreciate the help, I'm probably going to try and reinstall the game and cross my fingers it works this time around. Is there a link or some way I can donate to help pay for a little of the operating costs for this site? I really appreciate communities like this being around that help random strangers and want to do my part to try and give back since technically I'm about as useful as strapping a rock on yourself trying to swim.
