C&C 2 (Red Alert) Problem!

[Tydirium]

Hi there,

 

i downloaded the latest FullRA+ v3.03 version here. the map editor runs without any problems,

but when i start the game and try to play a skirmish, the screen freezes and it occurs an error

("ra95.dat does not work")

have you any suggestions what this is all about?

i use win7 and did the whole RA54.lcf replacing/renaming, but the game always ends a few minutes

of playing skirmish.

 

maybe i started this topic in a wrong / not fitting subforum, but help would be great!

 

merry x-mas,

tydirium

Most of us don't use RA+ these days, we use the RA copy from redalert1.com. I know it has a few modifications to make it work better for new systems so it might not have this problem.

 

Or maybe you could try running in Administrator mode if it still doesn't work. I've never really used the map editor.

Since when was RA C&C2? By the way I've disabled the FullRA+ download item a long time ago how did you get it?

Since the Germans released it, Tore.

Silly Germans with their part 1 Tiberium Conflict, part 2 Red Alert and part 3 Operation Tiberian Suns.

People called RA1 C&C2 in Westwood Chat before Tiberian Sun came out. lol

Let's face it, chronology is a mess in the C&C Universe(s) :laugh:

 

Translations are another matter, the titles are sometimes very weird - I remember browsing French C&C fansites some time ago, and Firestorm turned out to be called Missions Hydra or something in French for some inexplicable reason. Also, I think the German add-ons to RA1 are called Gegenangriff ("Counter-attack") and Vergeltungsschlag ("Retaliation Strike"), something I've always found a bit confusing (in respect to which is which) since both words have this idea of counter-attack, while Aftermath is quite a bit different thing.

 

[Edit] Whoa, just read in the German Wikipedia that Red Alert: Retaliation is called Alarmstufe Rot - Gegenschlag. Now that's a parade of synonyms, I say! ^_^
