Red Alert 1 not working?

[Snackycracky]

I have been playing red alert for a whille now, but 1 day it just won't start.   When i try to start it up it just says: "failed to launch ra.95".

Help is very much appreciated!

could you make a screenshot please?

Right here's a screenshot...

open the cncnet settings, set the program to launch to RA95.exe

 

For some bisarre reason it seems to be set to launching something called "RA.95" there, which is certainly not the game executable.

I changed it to "RA95.exe" but, it still doen't work. It just keeps saying: "failed to launch ra95.exe"...

do you have kaspersky or any other bad anti virus ? seems like your ra95.exe is gone

 

use that tool to repair your installation:

select your red alert folder and choose "patch existing installation"

Looks like it worked! Thanks a lot!

Nevertheless "Ultimate Collection" is incompatible with CnCNet 5. It doesn't matter what i type in, error "failed to launch ra95" shows all the time. I've tried to lift all "compatibility modes" and other options, but all the game does is to run to main menu.

 

I wonder - is it possible to add in new RA patch (i believe 3.04) lobby, which log-in not to XWIS but CNCNet? I would appreciate.

Use the tool Funky linked to Pigeon. Either patch your TUC or download the game itself using the tool.
