You are not forced to play as the soviets in Red Alert, you just abort the mission and then you can choose allies\soviets at proper options menu, its only like this when you first play it.

The crack pack WILL crash each and every game\cause serious anomalies at certain points, and because your using the old EXE files, is not XP compatable - it will work for some but not for others - its not just "if it launches then it works" - the updated xp bits were for crashes that would occur later on in the game.

No offense but your all barking up the wrong tree if you think this collection of cracks is gonna sort you out.

Not only that, but it will discourage real crackers from releasing a proper crack if you lot are all happy with this one.

I think you are totally wrong here. If you read the thread you will see that BarryB has discovered that the .exe files has not been updated, check the links I posted a moment ago and you will see that nothing really has been changed only that Compatibility mode has been set.
Also if you READ the entire thread you will see that gameplay testing is happening as people do play the games and will report about problems.

Discouraging crackers? I think not. Why? Because any real scene release of either a proper crack pack or a cracked release will render scene points for the group that does it. It's Safedisc 4.60 so that will give 'points' and such a big release will also give 'points'.

I think you should do the following:
1. read the thread
2. play the games with the cracks and see if it crashes or not
3. make the image and upload it to GCW if it works and is made the easily
4. think a bit before writing anything
