Red Alert 10b Evidence Timer Broken.

[Phantom Renegade]

Hi, is anyone else having an issue with Allied 10b? My timer starts on 8mins instead of 25? Casual and Hard are fine. Normal continually starts on 8.

same problem though i think it starts at 10 for me. still impossibe to win

[recronin]

seems like it's based on the time you had remaining from the previous mission. my timer starts at 0:32

[Truefinesse]

I had an issue with the timer as well. Mine started at 25 minutes but would count down twice as fast as real world time even though I had the game speed set to 'normal'

I tried changing game speeds but none would run at exactly 1-for-1 speed with real world time.

i think thats the case, too bad that there is no hint ingame about that

yes my timer start at 4 min on hard i have no time..... (tested the normal is 50 min...) i am going to try agen on 10A and see if it have a conection to 10B (that is what i thinke too)

Mine starts at 25 even if i captured the Command Center with 55 minutes left in 10A. Second issue i have with mission 10B is that the game changes the difficulty to normal by itself for that mission... Is it normal or is it a bug?

I have never been clear about what triggers the countdown to launch timer in 10a.
I usually find that it triggers after I've destroyed a couple of SAM sites, or maybe it just triggers after a set amount of time has passed?
Either way, information about what causes the coutdown to trigger is vague or non-existant.

I have completed all the missions on normal, cant remember the time, but I was able to complete the mission.

What I have noticed, the game time jumps forward several seconds when loading a save, so best not try to save scum your way through timed missions.

The timer is so hard :O Comes from the timer off the mission before oO ?

If yes that's totally stupid xD
Or the developper says : just do the mission before more quickly ^^'

The countdown is triggered by any of these five events: attacking any of the silos, destroying 15 Soviet structures (not including those in the small airbase owned by BadGuy), entering the gap north of the silos or the area around the Soviet repair pad, destroying the Soviet Construction Yard, or waiting longer than 90-in game minutes.

Hmm, that's a little different than what it says here: https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Suspicion

How so? We got plenty of time.

That wiki entry is just inaccurate. "Coming close to the command center" is what I mean by approaching the silos: there are cell triggers to the north and east of them. Powering the base down does nothing; however, if you power it down, you will likely hit the 15 buildings limit anyway. The 30-minute thing is relative; it takes 900 in-game time units for the missiles to be launched. These are 90 in-game minutes, but how much and in-game minute is depends on how fats your game is running.

If you are curious, you can just open the map file with RAED, the old RA1 map editor, and check for yourself. There is a series of triggers that determine what launches the missiles.

Remaster's "normal" is actually a tick faster than the original game speed. so yea, just turn down the game speed one tick to get the original speed.
