Hey.

 

Back then I started to Play ar2/yuri when it first was released and kept playing for a very Long time. I even played on the very old Westwood sever and saw the whole Server dying in Hands of EA.

 

Then xwis overtook and I was pretty happy, I kept playing a year or less, not sure. When all my friends quitted and the game was so empty and I developed myself, I quitted till today. Today I thought im giving it a try and I was supriced I still can remember my account here, I registred it almost 10 years ago.

 

Wow time passes by so fast. But anyway, I've got a question. I don't remember the place of my own copy of yuri. I still had an Image of it on my HDD. Back then (Westwood times) I scammed Serials (i fooled some guys who asked me for moneyhack over and over thought it's their punishment). Wanted to pass those to friends but they never played. Before I quitted I was pretty sure every Serial is valid and works on xwis. I never cheated and if I did (it was even before EA).

 

Now my Problem. every Serial I try gives me the error that the Serial has been banned for approx 21 years. Not sure it says 20,7 if I remember right, but that's for every Serial, as well as the time of being banned is the same. So I thought I may didn't Change it properly. I honestly doubt every of that 8-10 Serial were banned for cheating 4-5 years after I scammed 'em from those guys. I'd like to test my own, whichs clean for sure, but since then I may get some help here. What's a good way to Change the Serial? I tried reinstall, googled for it and changed regedit, also a file in westoodfolder, but it keeps giving me that error.

 

My first thought was the Server were gone. Gone for ever, but Posts in this Forums are pretty new as well as Rankings so I doubt it shouldn't work? Or do we have to use hamatchi or similar stuff? I just click Internet, Lobby etc like I was used to be.

 

Help would be appreciated. After almost 10 years I wanted atleast a couple onlinematches.

Hehe as I said it's not the Serial I used back then. As I tried those Serials I've gotten from noobs who were fooled. But anyway. I barley can remember my nicks it's been almost 10 years now. It should be something like, chronotanx, bettesser, gcekboss not sure about pffi and so on. But those nicknames are pretty useless as I played with my OWN Serial. I just doubt all those Serials (atleast 8) were all banned due to cheating.

 

And no I didn't cheat, isn't it rather possible that a keygen guessed those Serials by time ? Now Im not really offended till I find my original cd key and find myself banned, then I will be pissed bcoz Iam sure I never cheated on xwis, Not even EA Server and hun, Westwood Server have been taken off since Ages. Probably 15 years.

Yea, that's my forumaccount as well, wondering I own another. Well I tried RA2 now and it works smoothly. Isit ture that YR got no Players ? Onlinelist Display about 100~ in ra2 but only 1 in yr :/ if this is true I don't have to figure out why yr doesn't work anyway.

I alrdy firgued it out. non of my old accounts work, even tho one of 'em still Shows a badge. The new account I created for ra2 (probably never got one back then) also works for yr and I can log in now. But 31 ra2 and 11 yr Player. But I shouldn't expect too much for such an old game. Still nice to see it's still live.

Can a nickname be banned or why do I get that Output? Im even more confused now.
