Hi there,
I'm having some problems getting ra2 to play online (v1.006 bought from origin on windows 8.1). I have created nick however when I try to log in by pressing internet > custom match I'm taken to a screen saying 'fetching server list' and then after some time I'm told that it 'could not connect to westwood online', so I am unable to log in or join a lobby.
I don't think it's a firewall problem as I allowed it as an exception and even tried to get online with my firewall temporarily switched off but still nothing.
I tried everything on this page but I wasn't able to run ra2 after I applied the changes - http://xwis.net/forums/index.php/topic/182360-cc-red-alert-2-windows-8-windows-10-fix/
I've tried running the files in compatibility mode and when I went to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts I couldn't see any entries that were obviously westwood related.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
