Command and Conquer 2 Red Alert

[Sandsack]

I want to play this game with my freind on LAN. What for tools do i need and where do i find them. plz help me.

[Luciel]

i play this game on lan at my own place, since the game brings 2 cds and u can execute the game from any of em, its perfect, dont try to apply anything (nocd patch, mods bla bla) else than the patch or ull get total destruction wen u start a game lol.

[Sandsack]

But if i go on Multiplayer there are only modem and "nullmodem". What have i to do if i want to play with a friend over Lan?

[RincewindTheWiz]

Try installing the IPX network protocol.

[Luciel]

Dont go on Multiplayer, theres another menu called network, click on that.

[Sandsack]

I don´t have a menu called network, only:

Singleplayer
Internet
Load Game
Multiplayer
Intro
Exit

And on Multiplayer i have only Serial or Modem.
Is there any tool for conecting on Lan?


I´ve got Version 1.06 of C&C2 Red Alert "german version"

[Luciel]

u sure u aint talking about red alert 1 or its expansion? cos i KNOW for a fact ra2 has a menu called network...

[Sandsack]

I am talking about RA1 NOT about RA2!

Command and Conquer 2 Red Alert A bit of a confusing subject, wouldn't you say ? :D

[Luciel]

oh yeah lol soz my bad, it jsut looked like ra2, aniways, no u cant play with ra1 on network, but i remember a couple of years ago having a tool to play c&c 1 on lan, it was on the westwood site, sadly, since they went bankroupt , most of the links on their site dont work anymore, or they redirect u to ea.com, u could always have a look in google.

[Sandsack]

Oay, thx for help.
If someone has a working LAN tool for RA 1 please tell me.

[Luciel]

i think that if anyone had it here someone woulve mentioned it by now, ur best chance is go look for it urself.

I'm sorry but your topic is confusing me wich game do you want a no cd patch for ??

Command and Conquer Red Alert

or

Command and Conquer 2 Tiberian Sun

or

Command and Conquer Red Alert 2


Why your "Command and Conquer 2 Red Alert" is missguiding is that while Red Alert was the second C&C game to be released it wasn't a sequal to the first C&C, the sequal was C&C 2 Tiberian Sun. Please try to keep your information straight before asking about patches.

I see... very confusing 2u, but there was no NOCD request!
He wanted only some help for network play with RA 1 (he wrote RA 2 that was the confusing thing of the topic)
hope you are not even more confused!!! :p

[Sandsack]

I mean Command & Conquer Red Alert.

P.S.

We´ve got

C&C 1 Tiberium Conflict
C&C 2 Red Alert
C&C 3 Tiberium Sun
C&C 4 Red Alert 2
C&C 5 Generals

[KAMiKAZE]

and C&C Renegade :p :p :p

[Luciel]

yeah i found that recently that c&c1 was tiberium conflict, that has to be my fav story, i enjoyed tib sun so much! gawd its a shame westwood went bankroupt, i doubt will get a sequel to the tiberium story :(

[RincewindTheWiz]

I don't think Westwood went bankrupt, they just got shut down by EA.

[dr-nix]

Kamikaze: whatever

[Sandsack]

Do you have another idea to play C&C 2 on Lan.

[Luciel]

rince, no they did go bankroupt, or according to pcgamer uk they did, apparently it was cos of the huge costs of renegade and not being very "popular"
