Online Multiplayer

[Daniel]

Can I play this online with my friends through steam?

[Xylber]

I can't believe it doesn't have multiplayer, and still have positive votes.

How easy is to exploit the nostalgia of old people...

No you can't. Lan or mods, like cncnet.

There is going to be guides on how to play online coming.

There’s a competitive Ra2 discord

Because the single player is fantastic?

Honestly. Single Player is enough to be excited for this coming to steam. Multiplayer is just a bonus.

Then why bother releasing this game on steam? multiplayer is why people want to play this game. Next.. where is the remaster like C&C 1 got?

Such a lazy attempt....

If you wanna play online is either you use:

1) CNCNet (mostly EU & NA, hard setup for Asian servers)
2) Gameranger (worldwide)
3) Hamachi (worldwide)

Online works.. You need a valid serial key from previous versions (afaik, i haven't checked to see if it grants one yet) activate it on XWIS and create an account with said serial attached to it, then you can just login with a valid XWIS account created from the website and play online...

LAN also works if you use any IPX<->TCP patches. I'm personally using IPX Wrapper[github.com] You apply which ever registery fix you need (win32 vs win64) and then put the DLL's in the game folder..

IPX Patches do cause issues with online gameplay*
