Answer» Ok, I installed the GAME on windows xp - why, whenever I start the game, does it wait ten seconds then all my units die? Doesn't matter if its campaign or skirmish. I have a VALID CD key and cd - its all legal!!! ArghHave you tried re-installing? Does it say it works on XP? Sorry I would google it but well... I had some other stuff to do..ok, i've been googling, and according to http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-55637-Red-Alert-2-instant-death.html my red alert thinks it is pirated - but that is just bizzare!!! Its a proper cd with key!!!
This is not cool.Have you tried there HELP?Well i just reinstalled it using the Allied disk and it still doesn't work. I'll try some kind of patch now I guess.I would definately try there website and see what comes up patches etc.Ok i got a patch and it works.
It strikes me as very pointless that the legal game which i purchased won't run without a questionably-legal patch.
Incase ANYONE else has the same problem the patch is called ra21006.
Cheers.
