hehfest1 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I already have red alert c & c downloaded on my computer, but I have to login to origin first in order to play it (own these games through them since i could not re-install on my system the old discs). Will I still need to install separately in order to play here? My guess is yes, I will. Please explain! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Install the game via origin, then use the patcher from here -> http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/ choose patch existing installation -> it will create a shortcut to a new game launcher on the desktop It will work online just fine (and you also get a high res patch and more cool things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have RA C&C installed on my computer from Origin. I have to log into Origin in order for it to run though. Should I simply download the patch? I assume just put the patch in the general RA folder then, or should it be in a subfolder? Where should the patch go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 just run the patch anywhere, it should find your origin folder automatically and afterwards you will find a new shortcut on your desktop to start the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hehfest1 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 After downloading patch and trying to play game only through origin and not online at CNC......everything is moving in warp speed. When I play online though its at normal or slower speed. Any idea what happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndarielHalo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'm having a problem with this one, actually. The freeware version works great and fine, but I just bought the Ultimate collection off Origin, and it doesn't launch into windowed mode, nor does it let me adjust my resolution, and the colors come out broken. I think the lobby works, but it's incredibly difficult to play without functioning windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 @hehfest1: Check the game speed settings in the config (you can get there via the launcher) or change the speed while the game is running (top left) @AndarielHalo: use the updater from here http://funkyfr3sh.cncnet.org/ but if you got the working freeware installed already then there is no need to use the origin version, it wont have any advantages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndarielHalo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I'd just like to have the Origin version working for consistency's sake. And also to cut down on disk space, though that's not a big deal at the moment. I did the update, and the Origin version now works fine, but only in fullscreen. Windowed still has same problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 did you enable the window mode in the newly added config ? you can get there via the launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndarielHalo Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 iunno what you mean by that I used the Launcher and the config and fiddled with all the settings as much as possible, but it still doesn't work... but only for the Origin version, so I'm assuming that there's a problem with the Origin version being put into a window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 so you did enable window mode in the settings ? and did you use the new launcher (not the origin one) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndarielHalo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Yes, I enabled it in the launcher settings and used the launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 well, then i dont know what is going on ... maybe you started origin after the update and it reverted all changes .. i heard it does that sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
