Intel Core i5-3330 3.0GHz

64 bit Quad-Core Processor

6MB L3 Cache

8GB DDR3 1333

Intel HD Graphics 2500

 

I haven't had any issues besides alt-tabbing and screen shots until now. Went to sign in and it goes to "connecting to westwood online" screen. Then game freezes. Tried re-installing; same thing. Have not installed or deleted any updates to Windows nor Ra2. Don't know what's changed. Can anyone help?

Strange that this is happening to a few people. Anyone installed updates?

 

Has there been any server side changes?

Yes, Windows 8.

 

I went into game.exe and changed to compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3. Entered game and changed resolution, now it's working again. Not sure why this became a problem but the couple changes I made worked!
