  1. Here goes... I have a copy of Red Alert and Yuri's Revenge, and I played Yuri's Revenge online. I then installed it on my brother's computer using the same code, and therefore, the online did not work on his computer. After a while we figured out why, and so we gave up our hopes of playing together. So recently I bought him C&C the first decade for the sole purpose that we could play online together. Before installing the game, I uninstalled the other version, but not the saved games, custom maps, ect. I then installed the first decade CD and it said that I had to uninstall the internet components or it would probably mess the game up. So, not seeing the uninstall button, I went and manually deleted the folder. Then it had the "warning screen", but the box that showed the problems was empty. So I clicked continue anyway, and installed the game with the codes that came with the packet. (I don't know if that was the problem or not.) I then started Yuri's Revenge (the intro movie did not play) and went to internet, and custom game. It did what it had before and said that he did not have a legit code. I deleted his account, because I thought that he might have to make a new account to play. However, there is now no way to make a new account. The manage account button brings you to the screen that always says that it couldn't connect to the internet. So I would like to know what we have to do to play together. Does "The First Decade" have anything that prevents you from installing it multiple times so I shouldn't uninstall it? Please help, I would really like to play Yuri's Revenge with my brother. Thanks, and have a Merry Christmas.

    Yuri's Revenge freeze problem

    OK, got it! Thanks.
  3. When I play Yuri's Revenge, after a while, the game will freeze and the mouse will be whatever it was at the time that the game froze (deploy symbol, attack symbol, move symbol, ect.) The mouse will be able to move around the screen and the music will still play, but the game freezes and will not move at all, and when you pull up the task manager, it says not responding. This usually happens about 15 or 20 minutes into the game, and I am forced to end it with the task manager. It normally doesn't matter, but when online or playing a LAN game it can be very annoying. Does anyone know what is causing this, it is fixable, and if so, how to fix it? Thank you!

    Yuri's Revenge freeze problem

    My operating system is windows XP already. Do I need to run it on an earlier OS?

    Yuri's Revenge Connection Problem

    I uninstalled the whole thing and everything I could find relating to Yuri's Revenge, but in the installation it said the following problems... but the box was blank. The intro did not play and I have no clue how to make a new account. I was able to log in with my account from my computer on my brother's computer, I just need to know how to make an account, and possibly where to find his extra game files. CCleaner does not work on his computer for some reason.
  8. It would be nice if I could add functional tunnels to my urban map on Yuri's revenge, but I don't know if that is possible in Final Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. Thank you!

    Online not up to date?

    Thanks so much! I had to remove my rules file from my Red Alert directory! Makes complete sense now, that would prevent cheating.
  10. I have played Yuri's revenge online before, but it has been a while since I last played. I have the latest patch (1.001 or something) and I downloaded it again from an outside source to be sure. I have no clue why it is not working, but when I click on a game, the join button is disabled and the text at the bottom says that my version is not up to date and to go to Westwood.com, like that will do anything. Please tell me what I need to do to fix this strange problem.
  11. I am making a map, and I would like to know how to correctly attack a cell tag to a unit. I made a trigger with the settings as follows: Trigger options: Name: T Rex death nuke; House: Civilian; Type: 0; Attached trigger: <none> Event: Event 0: "attacked by any house"; everything else blank, no options Actions: Action 0: 95 Nuke Strike... at waypoint 27 The T Rex that sets off the event is enclosed in prison fence and has the cell tag that you place when you click "place on map" on the square where it stands. When I play on the map and attack the T Rex, nothing happens, even if I kill him. The action works, because I attached it to my beginning of the game event and the nuke launched. Please tell me what the problem is, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Nuke the aggressor

    Thanks! What do cell tags do then?
  13. I am working on an urban map, and am currently putting the finishing touches on it. I would like to have some neutral cars/buses, ect. that follow a waypoint path along the streets. I have the waypoints, but I need to know where to place the units, what exactly to tell them to do, and how to do this. I do know the modding basics, if modding is required. Thanks!
  14. Thanks for the info. I thought I would do it if it was easy, it wasn't really necessary. And it may have been a little cheap too...
  15. I would like to have a Paris tower in the middle of the map that I'm making. I already know how to make it capturable. However, I would not like it to receive power, so it cannot attack the nearby bases while under neutral control. I do have other neutral defenses that need power, so I can't destroy the power alltogether. Also, It would be nice if another Paris tower in a more secluded place that I already have on the map still could receive power, but this is not critical. In addition, I would, of course, like for it to be powered once it is captured by the player. Thanks!
  16. Whenever I make any structure owned by another country, it disappears when or before the game starts.

    Yuri's Revenge Campaign

    They are absolutely nothing compared to the Eiffel Tower! It is definitely my favorite structure in the game!
