Re: Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
Hi dierk,
On the main common issues thread, there's a link to a community fix for this issue. The thread can be found here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Command-Conquer-The-Ultimate/Common-Problems-Read-This-Before-Posting/m-p/222052#U222052
The specific YR community patch text is here: LAN play has been made possible on Vista/7 with this fix made by Scorpio9a:
http://nyerguds.arsaneus-design.com/...patch_1_00.zip
It will cause trouble connecting to online play (wsock32.dll error) so use this launcher program to play online games:
http://frankaz.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/...e_launcher.rar
Extract the files to your RA2 folder and then click on YR_Online.exe to launch the game.
Note: TFD 1.03 Revision 4 installs this file by default, if you do not require it then delete wsock32.dll from your RA2 folder.
