Have fun playing RA! LAN PLAY 1.Install tcpcom included. You will use it to make virtual Com connections to play RA over a null modem (really a LAN) 2.Visit http://planetcnc.gamespy.com/View.php?view=TechTroopers.Detail&id=2 for detailed directions with nice pictures. 3. If you would like to tweak some settings find Rules.ini for RA on the web and paste it in your RA folder. Anyone you play has to have the exact same copy. You can also tone down the Comp in these settings, it hits fast and hard, unless you like the abuse. 4. Quick summary...make the host a TCP Server and the other a TCP Client. Both will use COM1 make sure Virtual is checked, Baud rate 115,200. Also the TCP client computer needs to enter the host IP address. Activate. Launch Red Alert. Click Multiplayer, Settings on both computers. Com1, Baud rate 57,600, Save. Select Serial Game and Null Modem on both computers. Adjest the settings as desired and play :) TROUBLESHOOTING "You are using Windows 5.1 and this program is Windows 95 only" - Ensure the setup.exe is in Windows 95 compatability mode. "Could not load all neccesary files" - A problem with other RA + Expansions Torrent by mislabeling the CD Labels. It should be Red Alert CD1> CD1, Red Alert CD2> CD2, Counterstike > CD3, Aftermath > CD4. Fixed in this torrent. COMMENTS Seed the crap out of this. I had to manually get this working from other Red Alert torrents. Keep it going so others can play too!
