Re: Problem about Command & Conquer Red Alert™ 2 and Yuri’s Revenge
There are no Westwood servers. They disappeared ages ago. Use CnCNet for online play on the games older than C&C: Generals, and C&C: Online for the newer games.

I used to play RA1 many years and online too is working. Just now I wanna try RA2 and that cause I bought that from origin.com. If I download RA2 & YR day ago then I log in and I played in online. But now I messed up something or just dont understand correctly. Its just dont let me to go to online. Maybe i deleted some important stuff from my computer.
Yes I saw that for now one I can play RA2 even in CnCNetwork and try to download that, but its downloaded only YR. Where can I play RA2 then?
Ty!
Well, by default you end up on the XWIS servers, I suppose; the old community-managed Westwood server replacement. But I'm not sure if there's actually that many players there; CnCNet is the more active community these days, because they actually still patch the games.
The CnCNet RA2 gameplay runs on the Yuri's Revenge engine because it has more bug fixes already, and keeping the older RA2 patched up with fixes that are already in the YR engine was just a lot of unnecessary work.
So yeah, you can still play RA2 online on CnCNet, acting pretty much exactly like the pre-YR should, but it just uses the YR game engine.
Ohhh lol...I´m so stupid. Now I see :D:D Its looks like in CnC is only YR and I even didnt run the game. But now I launch the game and saw that there the RA2 is LOL
Seems that with XWIS account I can play only for ladder (but still I played Yesterday that boughted RA2 and can talk in lobby, dont know where that goes)
Thanks a lot!!!
