CAKEorDEATh1986 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi guys, Bit of a noob here. I downloaded RA1 - I started the game as the Allies and noticed that someone had actually made their own mission and put it as if it was the game. I have triple checked to make sure I am not choosing the custom or expansion. Basically I have cleared the entire map of any soviet forces, yet it wont just say mission complete. Very annoying! :ranting: Any help or is this a bug that cant be fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 where did you download the game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAKEorDEATh1986 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 I downloaded it from cncnet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 can you provide a link ? cause there are multiple versions are you sure you clicked on "start new game" and not any other button ? you should end up on these missions: soviet: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3687/9068503701_e16e0023a1_o.gif allies: http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5516/9068534143_9124548f47_o.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 if its first allied missions either you have some external mission installed or you've forgotten to actually put einstein in the helicopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAKEorDEATh1986 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 The missions you provided pictures of are what I remember, but this certainly isn't the same. On this one my units are grey, and I have to recover a base - I have attached a screen shot of the mission. I just used the link off this website.

FunkyFr3sh Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 np, just keep posting here until you got it working Do you install any of the game language packs ? maybe something is wrong with that ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAKEorDEATh1986 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Game language packs? Dont even know what they are! But I did the whole install again. The Soviet missions work perfectly fine, but the Allie just has the mission I took a screen shot of that simply wont complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFr3sh Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Did you maybe install red alert before (a different version) ? or did you ever download some custom missions and tried them ? make sure you install the game to a clean folder, if there is a loose mission file in the game folder then it will override the original missions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 That briefing contains a misspelling of the word "soviet". I'm 100% sure that won't be official. check your game folder for loose .ini files starting with "SC". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAKEorDEATh1986 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Thank you guys! It was the mission folder (SC) - there were two files that looked out of place. I gathered it was an edit with the miss spelling, thats when it dawned on me. Appreciate the helps guys, now to complete the game! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
