brantleyx21 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 [Yuri's Revenge is not freeware and thus you must have the game installed for it to work with CnCNet So does this also mean that Red Alert 2 is not freeware and won't be available for download? I'm just curious for the sake of my friends that don't own it.
bmoeller Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 You will need to provide your own copy of Yuri's Revenge. Like he said its not freeware so they cannot provide you will a copy if you dont have it. My cd was to scratched to play so i downloaded a copy at either TPB or kickass i cant remember which one but i had no problem playing it online with the cnc client.

XTF Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 PLAY YURI'S REVENGE ONLINE FREE, FOREVER. I know you love the word FREE, but this implies there's no need to buy / own the game.
BlazeHedgie Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 If its not free then why does the downloads come with all the files for the game and ready to play online? I own the game, but when I downloaded this and installed it I didn't have my copy from Ultimate Collection installed.

I own the game, but when I downloaded this and installed it I didn't have my copy from Ultimate Collection installed. The game was never included in the download, but the installer will look for an existing installation. AFAIK recent updates make sure have the game installed before continuing the install.

It is a tricky one and the wording does need slightly adjusting IMO. Technically they need the game but not a serial which is why its 'free' to play online.

A serial is needed to install Ha yeah, as in a legit serial to play online, you need a real one for xwis play for example.
BlazeHedgie Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Forget what I said I didn't realize I had the game installed already XD
Nyerguds Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 PLAY YURI'S REVENGE ONLINE FREE, FOREVER. I know you love the word FREE, but this implies there's no need to buy / own the game. The playing online is "free, forever", as in, cncnet won't suddenly start asking money for it Though I guess we can't actually guarantee the "forever" part in terms of keeping the service running, technically. Forever is a long time (though IIRC the server side stuff is freely available, so, yeah.)

ChristosOwen Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I could be wrong, but I swear there were free downloads for RA2 and YR made available a while back, on striketeam.net and/or xwis.net? Maybe you still need to own a copy of the game in order to provide a serial code to install, though?
Nyerguds Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Yes. Olaf is, in fact, the one hosting the downloads of it, and then he calls us out on "endorsing piracy" because we just happen to have no way of checking for official serials <_<
ChristosOwen Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Just to be clear I wasn't trying to call anyone out there... just thought if there are legitimate free downloads available then more people should know about it... as I see a lot of people on the forums talking about finding a copy/serial of the game.
55aa Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Yes. Olaf is, in fact, the one hosting the downloads of it, and then he calls us out on "endorsing piracy" because we just happen to have no way of checking for official serials <_< AFAIK only EA themselves (or a third party acting strictly on their behalf, such as Strike-Team) can legally employ an algorithm which checks RA2/YR serials for their validity, thus there's really no legal way for an independent third party like CnCNet to do that, even if they wanted to.
