hi,

Thanks for the good work
I have a issue, when i try to enter the network menu it just returns to main.
i then copied the file wsock32.dd into the folder and then i can enter the lobby, but i can’t create a game only join. there also have to be a join and new button but there is only a join. how can that be?

Im running windows 7 64 bi, maybee its because the file is 32 bit?

Pls help

I extracted the patch to the RA2 folder in my C drive, but I can’t find a ra2.ini file anywhere. I am up to the point that Murray-Mint was on before, but not too sure how to fix it. “When I go to the Options menu and then Network, it reads Network Card: 00 00 00 00 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 and the socket number and destination network fields are empty. Is that normal?” Same as me… I am unable to play any quick matches. Please help!

A million thank yous for posting this!!! We’ve been trying to get RA2 working under vista for a few hours and finally I found your post and patch. Suddenly it was working in 5 mins!

THANKS!

Allow Red Alert 2 on your firewall, or disable the firewall while you’re trying to get it to play.

Hey… I manage to see my friend´s in the list of players. I can receive his messages, but he doesn’t receive mines. We use Windows Vista 7. I copied the file into the directory… we both have 0 in the settings..
When he creates a game, I try to join, but my laptop gets stucked…

I disabled the internet connection. We are using a wireless red…

Ahh,
I connect to the majourity of players on Ra2, but some I don’t. In particular one friend, sometimes we manage to play together, most of the time we cannot? Does anyone understand this?

Also, when my neighbour turns his modem on I use his connection and me and my friend connect fine.. I’m confused ):

P.S – His ping is normally in the 40′s when he’s in my game.
