I want to get it so that I can download Yuri's revenge since there is no free Red Alert 2 download. Thanks, Naiked Hello, Yuri's Revenge for the large majority will work on Windows 10. That said, CnCNet can never guarantee it, but to the best of our knowledge the CnCNet YR client fixes most incompatibility issues, and we're always here to help if there's a problem. If you never get it to work, I believe EA Origin offer a fair refund policy (You'll need to confirm this with EA). Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ra2Nub Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 YR works for me on W10. The only issue I have is that I can't open the menu while in-game. You can change it so that works, but then you can't alt tab. I just use an old machine to play this game instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh okay, well I think I am going to go for it. And pray that it works. I will be in touch with you Grant if I have any issues for help. I appreciate your time. By the way if we can get this to work I stream on twitch so it would be great advertising for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems you can ask us. Even if that fails, I believe EA Origin offer refunds if you can't get the game to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 10 permanently gutted the DRM system used by these games, so I'm not sure there's any way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Plokite_Wolf Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 You're out of luck there. Windows 10 permanently gutted the DRM system used by these games, so I'm not sure there's any way to do it. It's nothing to do with DRM. I re-enabled SafeDisc on my Windows 10 laptop, and I can run TS and YR installers, but not RA2. The only way to install RA2/YR from the discs, without downgrading to an earlier OS or purchasing TFD/TUC, is here: http://forums.cncnz.com/topic/19497-original-ra2yr-cds-vs-windows-10/?p=225594 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Plokite_Wolf Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I re-enabled SafeDisc on my Windows 10 laptop That's already far from trivial though I know, but that still doesn't help run the RA2 installer. That was my point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should mention that you can play single player in it aswell it isent only multiplayer plus these come with a few new maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
