I just purchased Red Alert 2 again after 14 years. I tried creating an account through the game and it kept telling me Cannot Connect to Westwood Online. So I figured that I remembered that I had to update the game so I went to try to update the game first through the game, and the update doesn't download, it just freezes the game. What do I need to do to be able to play RA 2 online? Thanks for the help guys!
How do I update my Red Alert 2 to play online? Just freezes in game.

I actually found that post after I had posted this one. Sorry about that. Does anyone play the game online anymore? I logged in online and the online room was vacant. Then it would only let me stay logged in for about a minute, then it would disconnect me. Why is that?

You need to create the account here: http://xwis.net/game-account/
After you create an account, use the password found on that page to log-in.
If you're still having problems, you should see a message in the empty lobby before getting kicked out. What does the message say?

You basically needed this : C&C Red Alert 2 update patch 1.006
Also to register on the site, create a nickname and use the randoimly generated password as that's how the new system works.

Every time I login to my account online, it shows 0 people online in the lobby and then it tells me that I have been disconnected from the server after about 30 seconds of being connected online. Can anyone help me please? Thanks guys!

Is there a message from the server being displayed in lobby?
No message, except the pop up comes up and says I am disconnected from the server. And in the US Command channel or whatever its called, I cant remember off the top of my head, there is always zero people in there. Do I have the wrong version or something, 1.006?

Follow the instructions given to you instead of repeating the same thing over and over again.
