Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2

Hey,

i just downloaded the free Version of Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2/ Yuris Revenge, installed the Multiplayer Patch and so on. But me and my friends still can´t play via LAN connection, because it says that we are using the same serial number. Is there a fix for this problem?

thx

The Origin version doesn't set the serial number in the registry as it's supposed to. This causes the issue, since both sides on the network see they have the same (blank) serial number.

This can easily fixed by simply adding anything at all into that serial number field in the registry. I explained how to do that here:
