Zero Network Support For Older C&C Games!
Was I ever wrong. There is NO support for LAN games in Red Alert. Not even an option. The 3.03 patch that allowed 4-8 players over Westwood online isn't compatible with TFD release. It just ends up giving you unresolvable registry errors when you try to play after patching.
The graphics are absolute crap as well, but that is to be expected I guess. I wasn't expecting 1920x1200 widescreen support for a 10 year old game, but finding a way to get it up to even 1024x768 would have been nice.
EA has been amazingly silent on this... there are hundreds of angry game owners out there posting left and right on the EA forums about all of this... yet not a single post has been made by a developer, project lead, support team member to address any of the issues.
Bottom line... if you bought this to play C&C original or Red Alert, you're better off getting a copy on Ebay for a few bucks and using the 3.03 patch. I can't give it all ones because the rest of the games work without issue... but hell, i have all of those and they already work on XP.
