The answer to all your questions! Online multiplayer, campaign not working - etc

[mj.vst]

I know all of you have a ton of questions about online multiplayer, and why the game isn't working etc. Here's a one-stop for all of your questions!

1. Online Mulitplayer
- The current online multiplayer links to XWIS. XWIS is an old multiplayer client. The majority of players are on CnCNet for online multiplayer.
- To use CnCNet, install it [https://cncnet.org/red-alert-2] here into your RA2 folder.
- Be sure to set your graphic settings (in game resolution & renderer) and test it out in Skirmish to get your game working.
- From there, you'll be able to play online multiplayer, with tons of community made maps.

2. The game isn't working?!
- Some of you might find that the game gives a black screen, or is laggy, etc. There is a CnCNet patch that will help run the game smoothly.
- All you need to do is download and install CnCNet into your RA2 game folder, and set the renderer under Display settings in the CnCNet options menu. Do note that not all renderers work for all systems, so find one that works for you.

3. Campaign???
- In our Beta version of the CnCNet client, we have added Campaign support directly from the client.
- To get to the Beta version, go to Options -> Updater -> Live Channel and select Beta. The client will prompt you to update your client. Once done, You'll be able to play the campaign straight from the Client, without going through the base game.
- You also get the option of changing the game speed if you check the "Control Campaign Speed" option under "Game". From there, you'll be able to change the game speed when playing the Campaign.

CnCNet has existed for years, and have provided an online multiplayer experience with heaps of custom, community made maps. It is a CLIENT for the base game, as such you'll need to purchase the base game for it to work.

Hope this helps!

Any fix out for the tearing in the RA2 campaign? I have tried all renderer draws without success.
