    My os is Windows 8.1. When I run the ra2.exe in administrative mode, there is no error message(sorry about that), but it still has anti-piracy measures. When I get rid of of the blowfish.dll, it says "****Fatal****String manager failed to initialized properly".

    So you named your thread "Product being confused for piracy.", where does it say that? Can you show us a screenshot? Never heard about something like this before.

    You should never remove blowfish.dll, this file is needed to read the encrypted mix files

    Yeah, that thread name is a bit wierd. But the anti piracy measures, like in red alert 2 the base blowing up after 1 min, are in effect.  Could there be a patch or extra file that I could use to fix it?

    Ah alright 🙂

    In this case I suggest you to re-install the game, the installer is taking care of the serial encryption and stores is on mulitple places (Thats why you cannot move the game folder from one pc to another).

    Thank you, but I have reinstalled it twice now. At this point I might as well wait and buy the current one, the Ultimate Collection. Its not that much and I get more games than the first decade. Thanks again.
