Hello. Windows 11 Download web installers from here and trying connect online, but cant Couldn't Look Up Your Hostname what wrong?

Been looking around. Wondering what improvements might have been made in the CNCNet versions of the games, either by further hacking or patching the old exes or compiling new exes off the source release. I'm guessing the source release has been a great benefit to OpenRA. A major issue has always been the idea of expanding with more units, more projectiles, and warheads for them to use, etc, but as I think Iran has said about five years ago, there's just so many hardcoded components and checks in the original game. Comparatively I got to messing with Doom source ports as far back as 1997, the year Doom's source code was released. Never edited the source myself. Just worked on mods and maps utilizing their expanded editing capabilities. Well I did modify an editing util's source to build a version of that for a different Doom engine game over 20 years ago. Since Doom's source code release that was a linux version that had to be ported to everything else there's been an insane multitude of different versions, called source ports even if they're not porting to a different platform, which continue to fork into more varied versions even now. It's strange to see there's not a number of C&C/RA source mods. I guess people are mostly making a bunch of mods for the remaster. I was really disappointed to find the remaster didn't support all kinds of cool stuff, map mods, or if they're still called nurples or whatever, made for CNCNet editions with its spawn.mix supplying some original C&C unit gfx for use in RA1. I would guess with OpenRA probably getting much more accurate, people just don't see the need for compiling new editions of C&C + RA1 off the source. But still wondering what improvements CNCNet editions might have thanks to it.

Current version of Red Dawn is Red Dawn 2014 Last updated 5-29-20 Red Dawn 2014 is standalone like 2013 and still uses Iran Patch/Portable RA that added Hires and better compatibility for Vista and forward systems. Red Dawn 2014 dosen't differ to much from Red Dawn 2013 when it comes to single player missions. The most noteable change is Nod now uses secondary colors for all missions. Five new mission added and one fan made are now included in the game. Jungle theater by Tschokky added and used for five of the new missions. Red Dawn Online has been merged with Red Dawn 2014. This mean online play on CnCNet 5 (old CnCNet 4 has been removed). Aftermath Game option is now Classic C&C option and when turned on the game will only use C&C95 units and buildings. The exceptions are the Missile Silo, Ship Yard, Gunboats and Tranport. The Missile Silo is needed as it is the only way for a Nuke to be made. The Ship Yard, Gunboats and Tranport are need for some RA1 maps most notable "Docklands (Medium)". RAED (Map/Scenario Editor) has been updated to the version edited by Iran to use all 6 theaters. At this time the CnCNet 5 ra95-spawn.exe dosen't support the Jungle theater but I have updated the CnCNet 5 lobby's map preview generator so when/if CnCNet 5 updates the ra95-spawn.exe to use the Jungle theater things are ready to go. System Requirements Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7. Launcher and configuration tool require the .Net 2.0 framework. I think you could run on Win95 to ME with out the Launcher and configuration tool by starting the game from the RA95.exe. You may be able to get it to work on Linux and Mac with tweaks.

Hi guys, it's been a while. I just build a new PC and transferred everything to it. I'm now on Windows 11 and the game runs, but the text in the pauze menu and savegame menu. I think y'all know what I'm talking about, but this time I can't fix it. Nothing in the config/setup program does anything about it unlike on my old PC. This problem is also present in Red Alert but slightly less. And also, the games often crash on startup now that I think of it. So badly in fact that I need Superf4 to get back access to my PC. Are these problems known? Hoping to hear from you! Been enjoying Red Alert alot recently. Edit: I did try to reinstall the game but same problem occurs. Maybe people still see it here.

I've just downloaded the RA install for the first time in a while, has it always been an 'online' installer that downloads after you;'ve already downloaded an exe? Is there any reason that there isn't an exe that can be backed up and installed offline?

How can fix this error please??

Just finished Porting Pit and Plateau to Yuri's revenge, central area has a ton of tech buildings and is the area to fight over. Hope you all like. pitorplat.yrm

Hi, Today I visited someone to install him CnCNet Red Alert. Before meeting him, I copied everything on a USB drive. We did not have Internet connection where we met. I was surprised that Internet was required for the installation. I had on the USB drive the CD's content. Is it because I selected a different language than English and that the download of the additional language packs were required ? Also, even if I start the game in LAN mode, it checks for updates. Just added -noupdate when starting CnCNet is sufficient to organize a LAN without an Internet connection ? D

Hi, In the past years, I created few maps for OpenRA but recently decided to go back to the real Red Alert. These are the maps I created : https://resource.openra.net/maps/uploader/Dasha/ I've seen that the most recent editor is Mobius (which looks very user friendly) but to start with, I've not found how to adjust the map size. By default, it seems to be 126x126 and I've not been able to change this settings. Anyone knows how it can be adjusted ? D

Dear / Support Team I really enjoy playing this game , and have been playing red alert for almost 10 years I really enjoy it, it is the best game ever Now I play Yuri's revenge , and I faced some issue I recently tried to open this map : (8) oil valley v1.10 - oil in center , but the game keeps crashing and displaying this message to me (as per attached) Please help me make it work Thank you

So, I have been playing Red Alert for a while with no problems, however while playing I notice that at a certain amount of army I try to make, it would say training but won't go through. Same for the buildings. My enemies however can make more and take me out. Is this a bug or is this a new update that I did not know of?

a weird bug of RA1 yes so when I open up a game, everything works as usual until I moves my mouse, cause it just crashes keyboard is working fine, mouse clicking like left mouse button stuff) is fine, AI Player and render stuff is fine but just moving the mouse crashes the game the main menu and videos also works, moving my mouse in there is perfectly fine I tried everything i could think of like reinstalling the game (in another place)(also I didnt install the game in a folder with chinese characters); rebooting my computer (also its Windows 10); changing the compatibility of ra95-spawn.exe; changing the compatibility of all exe that seems related to the program; trying all the settings in config and ddraw.ini; trying stuff in the NIVIDIA control panel thing; turning off my anti-virus; opening my anti-virus; turnin off all other programs such as steam and wechat; searching on the internet (I couldnt find anyone that even have the same problem as me)(or maybe its because of the search engine) and all of them dont work so i signed up a accout here and asked this question yes (sorry for bad english) 2024-08-18 16-05-35.mp4

After the last update, when the leaderboard opens at the end of the online game, there is a never-ending process until you close the window, which runs the processor at 100% and consumes ram resources. What's this? I think there is spam in the game. I downloaded the Red Alert 1 game from cncnet.org. cpu i514600k ram 32gb

Custom map previews are enabled again! This gives a great advantage to specialty maps, you can actually make it stand out so players will actually stay and try it out, and also list the required map options in the image Funky even made a little tool that creates the code, to put in map. A simple drag image on top of the tool and voila, Create custom image (256x256 pixels max) Drag image on top of CnCNetPreviewGen.exe Download copy code of created file into your map save map, restart cncnet, pick map, click on blue WARNING button, give me your checksum+map name Reply with checksum and map name here, or pm me whatever u want Then i'll whitelist it!! Give it to me like this example: 5e5af5ae6491ad645de88ca03e8f636bbf78557b=TowerDefense Rally RACE! Jungle [V2] @Agrathore @A3H-Hitman @PTapioK @eliteGi @bk57 @Humble plz let other map makers know too, can't think of them all atm, ty.

In Red Alert 1 since there are so few players already, there is a big issue of players camping the top 3 spots and then not playing at all which effectively causes the ladder to be unplayable on certain days. I think a decay system should be an option for each ladder to be enabled and mitigate this issue. Decay settings would be a signifcant improvement, but the grace period and amount of decay should be customizable like the other settings. - add ability to set grace period - ability to set the % of total points lost per day after grace period is up - ability to set the lowest rank to be affected and/or make it so points cannot decay lower than (ie. 5th rank's points) - display to players if they are going to decay and how long until they do Thank you for creating the quickmatch ladder. I hope the devs all enjoyed doing so. Cheers

hello i am new to cncnet and was wondering if there were plans to add campaign to the games

Hello, new guy here. i saw on the homepage the download clients for each of the freeware games, such as https://cncnet.org/red-alert#download. the binaries that are downloaded are less than a couple megs in size. i was hoping to find an entire binary package, of the full game, that i can save a copy of to use offline. You have linux options that are particularly interesting me. thank you for your time, and thanks for keeping these games alive.

Что за рукожопые ослы создали этот саит и этот форум? Мало того что нихуя непонятно куда писать из-за большого количества разделов так ещё и никто не отвечает! Абсолютно никакой поддержки и помощи! Когда то, очень давно, играл в red alert. Решил снова поиграть. Нашел этот сайт, скачал игру. Но, то что началось далее это какой-то п...здец! Играю в режиме тренировки, компьютер строит здания и юниты во много раз быстрее меня! Далее про ресурсы, у меня 4-6 харвестеров и много ресурсов, при том, что мои харвестеры часто приезжают пустыми, у него 1-2 харвестера и пустые поля с ресурсами, но денег херова туча! Проблема не вденьгах, а именно в скорости строительства. В старой игре такого не было.Юниты нихуя не самостоятельные! Чужая армия заходит на твою базу, а твои солдаты и танки стоят как памятники и не обороняются покуда не дашь им пинка под сраку! Мне интересно, что за долб...ёб это придумал и для чего? Это не игра для удовольствия которую придумали разработчики, это кусок говна которое высрали дибилы с жопой в место головы!

Can RA95 be connected through ipv6? Because many Chinese players' connection problems are caused by the lack of an IPv4 address. If it can support ipv6, it will be greatly improved, and both V2 and V3 tunnel servers can be used.

Claus is getting this error when trying QM on his Mac: Unhandled exception: unimplemented function IPHLPAPI.DLL.ConvertInterfaceLuidToN Is anyone else getting something like this? It was fine last year he says. So I'm guessing either QM or Wine updates have caused a compatibility issue, but if only Claus then it's something else.

I've noticed that many users are having issues due to not updating the client. Apparently they don't think that it's necessary to update, but it is. So, why not make it mandatory? Woudn't that be better? Why ask them if they want to update or not when they're gonna face problems if they don't? I mean, to be able to use the client properly, see all available rooms, play normally without crashes and avoid getting kicked repeatedly for having different files (not updating) which creates a negative experience (especially for new users), the logical thing would be to just update the client automatically everytime a new update comes out (the next time you start the client), because nobody would want to have problems! It only takes a minute or so, and saves you a lot of time asking here and there, searching for answers, posting, reporting, trying to figure out what's wrong.
