Tore Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Cool stuff. Do you know if there are any changes in gameplay from this beta to retail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsons26 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) 0_o Kinda odd that in the ingame screenshots it shows specifically things i have screenshots for... The version numbers don't line up with what i know either.. Can you provide more info on it? Edited September 16, 2019 by tomsons26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxOwlbear Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 I checked the website (Siberian Studio), but I couldn't find any download for the beta. The screenshots are probably doctored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad1233 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Sure would love to get a download link for a beta/alpha version of Red Alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I think I've actually seen that cruiser render in an old magazine... I went through loads of old magazine articles from Hallfiry's scanned collection. Sadly even this 640x400 version is pretty poor quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if there are any changes in gameplay from this beta to retail? * few bugs; * differences in missions; * files, excluded from release version; * beta version of RAEd (official map editor); * no many movies and music, etc.; * no Windows XP and above support; * wrong readme file; * may be something else.

Siberian GRemlin Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 EXEs dated 11 October 1996. MIXes dated 16 Junuary 1996. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHyper Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Are you at least willing to share the EXEs so I can validate them (Over PM if you wish)? Otherwise there isnt any proof that this is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian GRemlin Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 I don't need any proof from anybody, I'm sure it's original, authentic and legitimate. I wanted to find out if I found something undiscovered/rare or something ordinary, because I didn't look for CnC\WS scene for years. BTW, I solved problem with running it on Win7. New differences: Different sound of Tanya's pistols fire. Ranger named just "Jeep". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsons26 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I've been offered RA2 betas 3 times, all 3 were fake, first was the "Russian Beta" which im sure you are well aware is impossible to exist. That one was scrapped up worst possible work from the PreRA2 mod which ironically i was working on at the time this offer was made. Other two were higher quality fakes, still ripping from PreRA2 but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsons26 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Actually if mixes are supposedly Jan 96 then that's the wrong logo, i know the final RA logo was done around September, so this is probably a well crafted fake That's the logo from before September And this was the logo on December 95 Edited September 29, 2019 by tomsons26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing personal towards you, but there is a history of people in the community faking "beta" versions of the C&C games. Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2, Renegade 2, the list goes on... If it is legitimate as you say, then it would be something the community would love to test and discover, but if you want to keep it to yourself for whatever reason, did you post this topic other than to gain the attention of the community? I sent you two PM's in case you didn't want to discuss these things publicly and offering a trade, out of respect, but you have not replied to my messages so I take this as you are not interested in sharing this with the community at all. I do hope I am wrong and you are willing to share what you have with the greater community. There are many people in the community that can help you pull the game apart to find MANY more things than you would be able to find. Debug/Development options and settings? This is something I could locate and enable for example. Edited September 30, 2019 by CCHyper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCHyper Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) No, RA2 beta was never released as it never existed, only a fake was attempted to be passed off as authentic, that was my exact point... It's obvious you don't want to share RA1 beta this with the community. Edited October 3, 2019 by CCHyper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsons26 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Only "RA2 Beta" that is on the web is https://www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=26014&hilit=red+alert+2 which is one of those i was offered and sure as hell is fake. Romanian magazine previewing RA early 1996, note the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get your hands on a unique piece of C&C history, your first thought is "how much can I get for this"? Anyway, no one is going to given any money for something that can't be verified as being legit, especially since its main menu uses a logo that should not exist at that time. The least you can do is give the map editor exe file to verify that it is indeed an unknown build. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siberian GRemlin Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHmjApUgKzg 1. Soviet Barracks bug. Only in this Mission? I dunno. 2. Different map, different tech tree. 3. Radar Dome construction cells count like C&C:TD's Communication Center. 4. Mini-map mouse bugs, different ore color on mini-map. 5. Mission 5 starts with two MCV, like in Mission 5 CGI movie in retail version. 7. Game crushs after start of Soviet Missions 4 and 5, so you need to quick save game and load it after crush to play it. May be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
