Finally: Air units! Allies Mission 3: The Famous Liberation

The boat looks adorable.

This mission is pretty fun. It's also well-designed, with both commanders having completely different objectives. Allies Mission 2: The Shark and the Lure

The Koreans are coming! One of a couple of Soviet missions that take place at home. It highlights how much weaker the AI is when it doesn't get a fancy base right from the start.

Welcome to Command & Conquer Red Alert 2! Red Alert 2 is probably one of the most beloved C&C games, and the last one developed by Westwood before Renegade (albeit with a different team).

Not sure if that applies to you, but there are several .exes for RA2 and YR in the install folder. The larger ones are the actual .exes whereas the smaller ones are launchers (?). Anyway, only the small-sized ones work for me, so if you have been using the other ones, give that a shot.

Welcome to the Allied campaign! The first mission is actually surprisingly tricky. The first time I played it I lost because I didn't bother protecting my base, and then lost because having 15+ vehicles but no buildings still means you lose. Allies Mission 1: Ride of the Red Menace

As Red Alert 2 starts, so does Red Alert 3 end. The Soviet campaign, that is. I always found the first part of this mission to be rather difficult to the rest. Then again, RA3's difficulty is all over the place anyway. Soviets Mission 9: Blight on the Apple

I love this mission. It's like a James Bond RTS. Soviets Mission 8: The Stone-Faced Witnesses

This may very well be my favourite mission in the entire game. It's so much fun! We go up against all Imperial commanders, we get Apocalypse Tanks, and... there's a little surprise at the end. Soviets Mission 7: To Tame A Living God

I like this mission. We get to use Kirov Airships, there's multiple enemies to fight... and no music during the first half.for some reason. Soviets Mission 6: No Traitor Tomorrow

I didn't install TFD 1.03. If I did, I wouldn't need the CD anymore (which I do). Maybe I installed another patch for that that I don't remember.

I recently re-installed Generals and Zero Hour via the UK version of TFD. I didn't install the unofficial patch because the unofficial TFD patch did give me issues in the past (namely with Renegade), and I don't think the unofficial patch is all that necessary just for Generals/Zero Hour. Anyway, I noticed two things: The scene in the opening menu is frozen. Was that implemented with a later patch? I know many people didn't liek it back in the day because it was straining their machines. Also, when I start the Generals' Challenge, I get the portrait and everything, but I don't get the announcer saying, say "General Ranger versus Dr. Tharx!". When was that removed? Is that an issue with my version? I'm sure that was in the Deluxe Edition (to which I don't have access to ATM for comparison).

Small update: Black Sheep is still included in the UK version of TFD, so there's no need to restore it.

Don't worry about it too much. I'm probably not going to start the LP any time soon, so don't put extra work into it just because of that.

This is the mission with the infamous tech inhibitor. It's also the one where we get access to cheesy air units. Soviets Mission 5: The Science of War

I recommend GWX Control Panel. Very handy for getting rid of Windows 10 installation files, disabling the notification and blocking the update. http://ultimateoutsider.com/downloads/

I don't know how much work it is, but could you make a version of the patch where both players have the same unit cap? E.g. 200 for both instead of 300 and 100? I plan to do an LP of C&C4 eventually because I'm a completionist psychopath, and it would be nice to have an equal amount for both players.

Is this compatible with the coop campaign mode if both players have the patch installed?

I would love at warships in mountain lakes, but that's actually a thing in Bolivia. Soviets Mission 4: March of the Red Army

Fear the washing machines! Fear them! I have to do an LP of the German of Generals one day.

I'm playing Zero Hour in beautiful, beautiful 1440p and increased the maximum camera height to 700 so I can actually exploit all those pixels. This leads to black map edges, especially during cut scenes: I tried to fix this by having the game draw the entire map by setting DrawEntireTerrain = No to Yes in INIZH.big. Unfortunately, this crashes the game upon executing the .exe and gives me this generic error message: Any advice on how to fix this? This message is generated by changing a couple things e.g. removing the FPS limit (not setting it to 60FPS, but setting UseFPSLimit = Yes to No).

Changing DrawEntireTerrain in the .big file crashes the game upon start. Changing it in the GameData.ini does not for some reason.

Nevermind, I made one myself. Turned out to be a lot easier than I expected. #3l173h4ck3r

The country just go driven against the wall, and all because of Tory party management and because of and old generation that dreams of a past that never existed. Great.
