2 bad it lags

[Olaf]

Is it possible to download and install only auto ss uploader without any map patches, resolution fixes etc? When I installed it I can't connect to anyone no matter its QM or CM (I also had this problem with the last patch which was released I guess in summer). I use XP SP3.

Sounds like a firewall issue. What are you using?

Now I installed a new red alert 2 from xwis link (free version C:\Program Files\Red Alert 2). I also installed this auto ss patch into the same default directory. And now when I try to launch ra2 it gives me an error message in the black screen (main executable for Red alert 2 has encountered a problem and needs to close Sorry for inconvenience). Here is ss of my ra2 directory:

SS doesn't work.
What Windows?

[volkots]

Windows XP, SP3. It doesn't allow me to post that link to my ss, so I made a space after the dot while posting this link: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/607/123ne.jpg/

Running as administrator?

[volkots]

Yes the same error and running as administrator. But after I installed a new copy of ra2 and launch it (before installing the patch), and I try to log in, RA2 remembers my nicknames and passwords, may it be the problem that there is still data about my ra2 accounts on my pc?
May it be useful error report contents?

[Olaf]

No, that's no problem, no, sending the report to MS isn't useful.
Just rename game backup.exe to game.exe and use that until this gets fixed.

I get that sometimes as well. No clue to what causes that bug yet.

[volkots]

Being more specific about the error, when I launch red alert 2.exe I get the black screen with a large mouse cursor and after ~8 seconds it blinks and changes again to the black screen with normal mouse cursor and after ~5 seconds I get the error.

So is the information for the Cd installation at the start correct? If so im going to try to install it.

[Olaf]

No, the CD version doesn't work at the moment. You could still give it a try though.

[SpecialDe]

K, ya i don't think ill try it seeing as im not very good with all the installing and uninstalling stuff xD

[xNathanx]

just use the multiplayer patch its easier and its more efficient

[tbiol]

No, the CD version doesn't work at the moment. You could still give it a try though.

So, this is the problem I was experiencing.
